Book Synopsis Flower in the Crannied Wall by : Jóhanna Sigrún Ingvarsdóttir
Download or read book Flower in the Crannied Wall written by Jóhanna Sigrún Ingvarsdóttir and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative in this book is a true account of events that the author, Jóhanna Sigrún Ingvarsdóttir, experienced as a child. The setting is a small farm in a barren valley at the foot of the glacier Drangajökull in the Westfjords of Iceland, below the Arctic Circle. The title quotes a poem by Alfred Tennyson, Flower in the Crannied Wall, which he wrote in 1863. The poem appeared in the book Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era by John E. Esslemont. The residents of Lyngholt, a remote farm in the aforementioned valley of Unaðsdalur (Valley of Delight) on Snæfjallaströnd (Snowy Mountains Coast), happened to receive a copy of the first translation of the book into Icelandic. During the short time the book remained in Lyngholt, it was carefully studied. A long time later, and after a seemingly futile search, this treasured book reappeared in an unexpected way.
Book Synopsis The Crannied Wall by : Craig A. Monson
Download or read book The Crannied Wall written by Craig A. Monson and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Crannied Wall explores the ways in which women in general, and religious women in particular, participated in the spiritual and cultural life of Europe in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Focusing primarily on women's religious communities, it provides a glimpse not only of the richness and range of creative experience that went on there, but also of the social forces that influenced such experience." "Craig Monson incorporates essays in music history, iconography, art history, drama, autobiography, religious history, and witchcraft. Music and drama are revealed as important strategic resources that some cloistered women employed to transcend the convent wall that kept them isolated from the outside world. Other essays expand our perspective on men's and women's views of female sanctity and women's relationship to the supernatural. Highlighting a largely neglected area of female autobiography, a discussion of women's stories of their own lives provides further valuable insight into their perception of existence." "The Crannied Wall presents aspects of women's issues that have been largely unexplored in print. It should be of interest to teachers and scholars in several fields, including women's studies, religious and cultural history, and the arts."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Women and Art in Early Modern Europe: Patrons, Collectors, and Connoisseurs by :
Download or read book Women and Art in Early Modern Europe: Patrons, Collectors, and Connoisseurs written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology reflects a larger impulse to recover women's involvement in the creation of an aesthetic culture from the late medieval through the early modern periods. By asking how the perspectives and experiences of female patrons contributed to the invention of particular styles or iconographies, or how they shaped taste, or how they influenced demand, these twelve original essays introduce significant new information about specific women patrons while raising theoretical issues for patronage studies more generally. While most of the projects discussed are consistent with the period's male-sanctioned concept of female patronage as an expression of conjugal devotion or dynastic promotion, at the same time the women involved devised strategies that circumvented these rules, allowing them to explore the potential or art as a means of proclaiming their own identity and taste.

Book Synopsis Taliesin 1911-1914 by : Narciso G. Menocal
Download or read book Taliesin 1911-1914 written by Narciso G. Menocal and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inaugural issue is devoted to studies of Taliesin I. Designed and constructed in 1911 upon Wright’s return to Wisconsin from Europe, Taliesin I burned in August 1914. It thus became the most difficult Wright residence for Wright scholars to examine. In this volume’s critical essays, Neil Levine offers a view of the different layers of meaning of Taliesin I; Scott Gartner explains the legend of the Welsh bard Taliesin and its meaning for Wright; Anthony Alofsin considers the influence of the playwright Richard Hovey and the feminist Ellen Key on Wright’s and Cheney’s thought of the period; and Narciso G. Menocal suggests that the Gilmore and O’Shea houses in Madison, Wisconsin, are a collective antecedent to Taliesin I. To conclude the volume, Anthony Alofsin has written what amounts to a catalogue raisonné of the drawings and photographs of Taliesin I. Surprisingly, he finds no photographs of the living area and argues that those that have been published are in fact of Taliesin II.
