Daarna volgden onder meer Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities en David Copperfield.

Edward Norgate ; Jeffrey M. Muller ; Jim Murrell
Miniatura or the Art of Limning
Hardcover, 312 pages, English, 240 x 165 mm, cover has some traces of being used before, book however is in very fine condition, and not unimportant, with a signature and greeting from the author, !!. ISBN 9780300069136. Edward Norgate, aristocratic friend of Charles I and the Earl of Arundel, made his mark in seventeenth-century England as musician, herald, and courtier. He also wrote Miniatura, a widely circulated study of miniature painting in his era that serves today as both a guide to materials and techniques and a record of the artistic knowledge and taste of Charles' court. This new edition of Norgate's treatise, the first since 1919, introduces and fully annotates the text from technical and art historical perspectives, firmly establishing the prime importance of Norgate's work. The book provides a detailed account of Norgate's life and many interests, his readership, and his technique. The editors-a noted scholar of seventeenth-century art and an authority on the techniques and materials of miniature painting-closely examine Norgate's text and compare it with other contemporary treatises, placing his techniques in the context of the period. The treatise itself, first written in 1627-28 and then substantially revised in 1648, sets forth in great detail the methods of English miniaturists, from the composition and preparation of pigments and brushes to lighting in the studio. Norgate acknowledges indebtedness to Hilliard, comments on other artists' styles and techniques, and reveals through his own views the English aristocracy's interest in and assimilation of European artistic culture.

Sale of the Late King's Goods : Charles I and his Art Collection
Bound cover, 436 pages, ENG, 240 x 160 mm, in very good condition, with illustrations in colours. ISBN 9781405041522. So wonderful and glorious a collection, that the like will never again be met with.' This is how one awed and wistful observer described King Charles' artworks. As an acquirer of paintings by Europe's great masters and patron of Rubens and Van Dyck, Charles's extravagance in amassing his collection only exacerbated the parliamentary disapproval that led to civil war and the King's own execution. After his death, one of the Commonwealth's first decrees was to sell off his treasures to raise money for the new regime. After the Restoration, one of Charles II's first resolutions was to get the collection back.

Pascasius Justus Turcq: On Gambling
Hardcover, 284 pages, English & Latin , 240 x 170 mm, NEW, rounded spine, sewn, dust jacket, reading ribbon. ISBN 9789464447668. Pascasius Justus Turcq was born in the Flemish town of Eeklo. As a young man, he travelled through Spain before devoting himself to the study of philosophy and medicine in Italy. On gaining his doctorate, he returned north and settled in Bergen-op-Zoom, where he worked as a physician and eventually became the city?s mayor. He attended to William the Silent as one of the physicians who worked to save the Prince?s life after the assassination attempt of 1582. Alongside tales of gambling princes and perceptive accounts of the mental suffering experienced by problem gamblers, Pascasius? De alea is remarkable for its singular insights into 16th-century medical science. Basing himself on the authority of the ancient, late-antique and mediaeval traditions, Pascasius first fuses discrete theoretical systems into an innovative framework, allowing him to propose a novel description of compulsive gambling as a psychological disorder. Secondly, Pascasius articulates a series of pioneering cures. He describes this therapy in cognitive terms reminiscent of approaches to non-substance addiction in use today. On Gambling was routinely referenced in scholarship on gambling into the 18th century before disappearing almost entirely from view. Newly available here, with a critical Latin text and English translation, On Gambling epitomises the creative potential of 16th-century medical humanism.

Henri Estienne : On Books
Hardcover, 488 pages, English & Latin, NEW, 240 x 170 mm, rounded spine, sewn, dust jacket, reading ribbon. ISBN 9789464447675. Henri II Estienne (1531-98) was the most outstanding member of his family?s long-lived publishing dynasty. He continued the work of his father, Robert, by publishing many unedited Greek texts and completing the Thesaurus linguae Graecae (1572), an expensive venture from which his business never fully recovered. His versatility? as publisher, scholar, corrector, lexicographer and poet ? can be seen in the paratextual material in his many editions, and in his own original works. This anthology presents a sample from Henri Estienne?s writings across his career and from different genres. These range from letters, to poetry, to essays, to his Encomium of the Frankfurt Fair. They reveal him as a remarkable scholar with an astonishing grasp of Latin and Greek literature, while highlighting also his problems both as a publisher and as a scholar. Estienne?s elaborate essays on the ancient Greek historians Xenophon and Herodotus use ancient examples to support contemporary arguments. His verses preserve a strong sense of the life of a scholar turned businessman, both at work and at play. In remarkably fluid Latin, Estienne reveals in these writings his aspiration to be worthy of his father?s legacy, his affection for family and friends, his humour, and his gripes with other scholars and publishers.

Media Studies : A Reader
Paperback, 894 pages, ENG, 245 x 175 x 45 mm, as new, some illustrations in b/w, . ISBN 9780748637843. Media Studies: A Reader introduces a full range of theoretical perspectives through which the media may be explored, analysed, critiqued, and understood. The Reader reaches back to essential statements from writers such as Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Marshall McLuhan, Jurgen Habermas, Jean Baudrillard and Michel Foucault, whose work was central to forming the field. It also includes wide ranging work on contemporary media formations from a stellar collection of diverse theorists, including Annabelle Sreberny, Paul Gilroy, Charlotte Brunsden, Angela McRobbie, Asu Askoy and Kevin Robins, Micheal Bull, and Nick Couldry, to name only a very few of those included. Finally, the Reader looks to the future, exploring new media formations and their significance, through the work of Mark Andrejevic, Lev Manovich, Jonathan Sterne and others. The sixty-five readings are divided into two main parts: 'Studying the Media' begins with a section on key theoretical perspectives and follows this with five sections opening up questions around the Public Sphere, Representation, Feminism and Gender, Audiences, and Everyday Life respectively. The second part, 'Case Studies', brings together concrete examples of how theoretical approaches can be realised through a series of case studies, covering for instance, reality TV, news, advertising, and new media. With easy-to-follow introductions and guides to further reading accompanying each section, Media Studies: A Reader equips the student to engage with key debates in the field. This new edition updates all sections with a rich selection of contemporary writing complementing re-chosen media 'classics'. In addition: * Further Reading lists have been comprehensively updated * Introductory essays to each section have been expanded and re-written

Jonathan Brown
Images and Ideas in Seventeenth-Century Spanish Painting : Princeton Essays in the Arts, 6
Hardcover, 169 pages, ENG, 240 x 165 mm, dustjacket, black linen with goldcoloured imprint, with 55 b/w images, in good condition. ISBN 9780691039411. Art historians have often minimized the variety and complexity of seventeenth-century Spanish painting by concentrating on individual artists and their works and by stressing discovery of new information rather than interpretation. As a consequence, the painter emerges in isolation from the forces that shaped his work. Jonathan Brown offers another approach to the subject by relating important Spanish Baroque paintings and painters to their cultural milieu.
