Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lady of Kingdoms "Well, you can't get a word out of her," Mrs. Wallis said in an accent compounded equally of virtuous disgust and balked curiosity. "No matter what you say to her. She says the child's hers, and who the father is ain't nobody else's business. And if anybody thinks they can go do any better, they've got my permission to try." Mrs. Wallis's hard sharp black eyes, set high in her flat toad-like head, snapped a challenge to the three women who sat about the bed. With a double motion that was habitual to her, she fluffed up with one hand her mat of thickly-curled artificial hair and pushed down with the other a perpetually obtrusive corset-steel. "There ain't a drop of shame in her anywhere as far as I can see," she added irritably, turning to the woman who lay on the bed. Mrs. Drake, to whom Mrs. Wallis addressed this last remark, emitted nothing beyond a nonplussed, "You don't!" "Who'd have thought Gert Beebee would ever come to this pass?" - Mrs. Tubman took it up. Mrs. Tubman was a pasty, bulging, fatly-shapeless woman with one fixed dull eye and one roving bright one. "Why, I used to think she was a real clever little girl." "She was," Mrs. Drake answered. "Smart as a whip, and bright as a dollar." She added after a pause, "Southward always said she liked her better'n most any girl 'cept Hester when they was in school together." No one replied for a moment. And in that instant, the same expression dropped a non-committal curtain over the features of Mrs. Drake's guests.

Book excerpt: "In The Representations of Women in the Middle Kingdom Tombs of Officials Lubica Hudáková offers an in-depth analysis of female iconography in the decorative programme of Middle Kingdom non-royal tombs, highlighting changes and innovations in comparison to the Old Kingdom. Previously considered too uniform, the study represents the first systematic investigation of two-dimensional images of women and reveals their variability in space and time. Hudáková examines the roles appointed to women by analyzing how they are depicted in a variety of contexts. Taking into account their postures, gestures, garments, hairstyles, size of the body, age as well as attributes and tools used by them, along with the scene orientation, she traces diachronic and diatopic developments and regional traditions in the Middle Kingdom tomb decoration"--

For they were twin-sisters; though, as sometimes happens with twins, so excessively unlike that they would scarcely have been supposed akin at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Kingdom (ca. 2030–1650 B.C.) was a transformational period in ancient Egypt, during which older artistic conventions, cultural principles, religious beliefs, and political systems were revived and reimagined. Ancient Egypt Transformed presents a comprehensive picture of the art of the Middle Kingdom, arguably the least known of Egypt’s three kingdoms and yet one that saw the creation of powerful, compelling works rendered with great subtlety and sensitivity. The book brings together nearly 300 diverse works— including sculpture, relief decoration, stelae, jewelry, coffins, funerary objects, and personal possessions from the world’s leading collections of Egyptian art. Essays on architecture, statuary, tomb and temple relief decoration, and stele explore how Middle Kingdom artists adapted forms and iconography of the Old Kingdom, using existing conventions to create strikingly original works. Twelve lavishly illustrated chapters, each with a scholarly essay and entries on related objects, begin with discussions of the distinctive art that arose in the south during the early Middle Kingdom, the artistic developments that followed the return to Egypt’s traditional capital in the north, and the renewed construction of pyramid complexes. Thematic chapters devoted to the pharaoh, royal women, the court, and the vital role of family explore art created for different strata of Egyptian society, while others provide insight into Egypt’s expanding relations with foreign lands and the themes of Middle Kingdom literature. The era’s religious beliefs and practices, such as the pilgrimage to Abydos, are revealed through magnificent objects created for tombs, chapels, and temples. Finally, the book discusses Middle Kingdom archaeological sites, including excavations undertaken by the Metropolitan Museum over a number of decades. Written by an international team of respected Egyptologists and Middle Kingdom specialists, the text provides recent scholarship and fresh insights, making the book an authoritative resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have claimed that when social stability returned to Korea after a series of devastating invasions by the Japanese and Manchus around the turn of the seventeenth century, the late Chos n dynasty was a period of unprecedented economic and cultural renaissance. This book questions this age-old belief by claiming that true-view landscape and genre�paintings were most likely�adopted to propagandize�social harmony under Chos n rule and to justify the status, wealth,�and land grabs of the ruling class.�This volume also documents the popularity and misunderstanding of art books from China and, most controversially, Korean enthusiasm for artistic programs from Edo Japan, thus challenging academic stereotypes and nationalistic tendencies in scholarship. As the first truly interdisciplinary study of Korean art, A New Middle Kingdom illuminates the reality of the late Chos n society that its visual art attempted hide.

Book excerpt: This book provides an innovative analysis of the conditions of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship in the light of the archaeology of production, linguistic analysis, visual representation and ethnographic research. During the past decades, the "imaginative" figure of ancient Egyptian material producers has moved from "workers" to "artisans" and, most recently, to "artists". In a search for a fuller understanding of the pragmatics of material production in past societies, and moving away from a series of modern preconceptions, this volume aims to analyse the mechanisms of material production in Egypt during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1550 BC), to approach the profile of ancient Egyptian craftsmen through their own words, images and artefacts, and to trace possible modes of circulation of ideas among craftsmen in material production. The studies in the volume address the mechanisms of ancient production in Middle Bronze Age Egypt, the circulation of ideas among craftsmen, and the profiles of the people involved, based on the material traces, including depictions and writings, the ancient craftsmen themselves left and produced.
