Abstract

This multiauthor collection, the first of an unprecedented four-volume series of analytical essays on music by women composers from Hildegard of Bingen to the twenty-first century, presents detailed studies of compositions written since 1960 by Ursula Mamlok, Norma Beecroft, Joan Tower, Sofia Gubaidulina, Chen Yi, Kaija Saariaho, Libby Larsen, and Elisabeth Lutyens. Each chapter opens with a brief biographical sketch of the composer written by the editors, followed by an in-depth analysis of a single representative composition linking analytical observations with broader considerations of music history, gender, culture, or hermeneutics.

Abstract

Contemporaries at the Royal College of Music, Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-1983), Elizabeth Maconchy (1907-1994) and Grace Williams (1906-1977) were important figures in twentieth-century British music. Combining musical analysis with contextual material drawn from documents and interviews, Rhiannon Mathias re-evaluates the composers' positions in British music history.

Abstract

The British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) designed 140 cemeteries in the countryside of Flanders and northern France for soldiers killed in the First World War. The cemeteries can be regarded as an imprint of the former battlefront on the map of Europe. All were designed according to principles established beforehand, based on the idea of a cathedral, church or chapel in the open air, and include uniform gravestones, a War Stone and a Cross of Sacrifice. Yet the difference in size, alignment and provenance make them all unique variations on the themes in question. The most memorable aspects are their meticulously chosen position in the landscape, the varied selection of trees and other greenery, and the architecture of the entrance and shelter buildings. In an exhaustive landscape-architectural analysis, this opulently illustrated book charts the history of the designs and reveals the underlying principle of order and variation in the architecture. All 140 cemeteries are fully documented with references to the places where they are to be found.

Abstract

Every generation needs its own history of English architecture: new facts are discovered, old assumptions may turn out to be wrong, time's perspective brings different facets into prominence. David Watkin, one of the most brilliant of our younger architectural historians, here provides a brief but highly readable outline of the whole story, from Saxon times to the present, centred on buildings that people can actually see today. His European perspective illuminates England's surprisingly close stylistic links with France, from the impact of Jumièges Abbey in the eleventh century to that of Le Corbusier in the twentieth. The great flowering of Romanesque under the Normans, the development of the Gothic style through its various phases - Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular - are clearly described, taking account of the latest research (for instance, the French origins of Perpendicular). After sections on the Tudor and Jacobean periods, the Renaissance, Baroque, Palladianism and Neo-Classicism, come the two chapters that will no doubt arouse the most controversy: those on Victorian and modern architecture. Unlike previous historians, Dr Watkin sees no falling off in quality in the nineteenth century, nor does he regard the Modern Movement as the logical consummation of all architectural progress, but simply as a style like any other, destined to be eventually superseded.
