1836réf. FB3670 /17Green cloth binding with gilt title and black decoration on the spine and front board FIRST EDITION EROTIC and NOT PERCEIVED TO BE AN AUTHENTIC TALE Maria Monk June 27 1816 – summer of 1849 was a Canadian woman whose book Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk or The Hidden Secrets of a Nun's Life in a Convent Exposed 1836 claimed to expose systematic sexual abuse of nuns and infanticide of the resulting children by Catholic priests in her convent in Montreal. The book is considered by scholars to be an anti-Catholic hoax. Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk was published in January 1836. In it Monk claimed that nuns of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph of the Montreal convent of the Hôtel-Dieu whom she called "the Black Nuns" were forced to have sex with the priests in the seminary next door. The priests supposedly entered the convent through a secret tunnel. If the sexual union produced a baby it was baptised and then strangled and dumped into a lime pit in the basement. Uncooperative nuns disappeared. Monk's story contains various inconsistencies. In her account she stated that there were three convents in Montreal: 1st. The Congregational Nunnery. 2nd. The Black Nunnery or Convent of Sister Bourgeoise. 3rd The Grey Nunnery. The Congregational Nuns were the Congregation of Notre Dame of Montreal founded by Marguerite Bourgeoys not the Sisters of Charity as Monk stated at the beginning of her text; the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph whose habits were black but who were not typically called "Black Nuns" operated the Hotel-Dieu where Monk claimed that she entered and suffered and it was not founded by "Sister Bourgeoise" ; and it was the Sisters of Charity who were commonly known as the Grey Nuns. It is known that Monk lived in an asylum in her early years and that one of the nuns mentioned in her story was actually a fellow patient in the asylum. There is some evidence that Maria Monk had suffered a brain injury as a child. One possible result of this alleged injury could be that Monk might have been manipulated and might not be able to distinguish between fact and fantasy. Another possible result of the alleged injury could be that Monk had little understanding of the devastating result of her claims. It has been suggested though not proven that Monk was manipulated into playing a role for profit by her publisher or her ghost writers. Scholars consider the book a hoax. The Booksellers. hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 174 pp. ; 282 ills. -- with a bonus offer--; When Sarah Winchesterís husband died she inherited a fortune in profits from the Winchester Repeating Rifle. She spent the second half of her life building a 160-room Victorian mansion a construction project designed never to end as she believed that continuing to build would stave off the ghosts of those killed by Winchester guns. Jeremy Blakeís Winchester Trilogy uses the huge tangled structure that resulted the definitive haunted house to examine the haunting of American culture by violence. Spirit Hunter documents and analyzes his groundbreaking and critically acclaimed work--some say Blake has invented a new genre between video and painting and interest in his progress intersects a number of fields including art film and fashion. Spirit Hunter also explores such disparate topics as frontier myth American foreign policy technology early film history psychoanalytic theory and philosophy--all in an accessible narrative style that interweaves art analysis with the story of a mythic haunting that still reverberates today. . 2006. 092197244X .

He has met with success--in 2006 his work appeared in New Photography at The Museum of Modern Art New York and at the Tate Triennial. Interviewed here he tells the respected artist David Shrigley "it is sometimes difficult to understand where it art all begins and ends the unanswerable question keeps us all going." His work is just as quotable including signs that read "Meeting point" and "This painting should ideally be hung to the left of an Ed Ruscha."

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 184 pp. ; 151 illus. 95 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Best known for his wry and witty drawings British artist David Shrigley has built up an artistic practice that over the past two decades has expanded well beyond drawing to include photography sculpture neon signs animation painting printmaking publishing and music. Shrigley finds humor in flat depictions of the inconsequential and the bizarre qualities that he heightens through a deliberately limited technique. In this unusually complete look at the much-loved artist's diverse approaches Shrigley is revealed as a master of many media and many kinds of humor from the black humor for which he is famed to caricature and more slapstick situations. With an immediate and accessible appeal to diverse audiences Shrigley's work offers an insightful commentary on the absurdities of human relationships. Published on the occasion of the artist's first major survey show at London's Hayward Gallery this beautifully produced volume includes a 7" vinyl picture-disc featuring an exclusive recording by the artist. David Shrigley was born in Macclesfield England in 1968 and studied Environmental Art at the Glasgow School of Art from 1988-1991. As well as authoring numerous books he directed the video for Blur's "Good Song" and for Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "Agnes Queen of Sorrow." Between 2005 and 2009 he contributed a cartoon for the U.K. Guardian Weekend magazine every Saturday. . 2012. 1853322970 . D. A. P. (Distribution) hardcover
