In this new collection of essay, many published here for the first time, the author leads a series of further explorations into the world of books, libraries, and the visual arts. Wendorf shows how the critical arguments posed by Benjamin, Baudrillard, Muensterberger and others play out in modern literary and fictional texts that take collecting as their focus : John Fowles' The collector, SusanSontag's The volcano lover, Evan Connell's The connoisseur, Tibor Fischer's The collector collector, Bruce Chatwin's Utz, and Ian McEwan's early short story "Solid geometry". Two chapters are devoted to library history : a bicentennial essay on the Boston Athenaeum, and an investigation of the origins of America's membership libraries in England and its colonies in the eighteenth century. Four essays provide fresh asessments of Joshua Reynolds's career and his relationships within the "blue-stocking" world of Elizabeth Montagu, Hester Thrale Piozzi, and his sister Frances Reynolds.

"How effective are election campaign posters? Providing a unique political history, this book traces the impact that these posters - as well as broadsides, banners, and billboards - have had around the world over the last two centuries. It focuses on the use of this campaign material in the United States, as well as in France, Great Britain, Germany, South Africa, Japan, Mexico, and many other countries." "The book examines how posters evolved and discusses their changing role in the twentieth century and thereafter; how technology, education, legislation, artistic movements, advertising, and political systems effected changes in election posters and other campaign media, and how they were employed around the world." "This comprehensive and original overview of this campaign material includes the first extensive review of the research literature on the topic. Posters, Propaganda, and Persuasion will be useful to scholars and students interested in communications, politics, history, advertising and marketing, art history, and graphic design."--Jacket.

As four-yearly snapshots through time, Olympic posters provide a fascinating record of our world - a lens through which we can explore links between sport and art, politics and place, commerce and culture. They offer an intensely visual representation of the modern Games, sometimes heralded as the 'Greatest sporting show on earth'. "A century of Olympic games Posters" draws largely on the V&A's poster collection and shows the evolution of the Olympic Games poster, from the first official poster for Stockholm in 1912, right up to the present. This diverse collection of images includes official posters for the Summer and Winter Games set in their historical context, and linked to pervading themes such as politics, commerce, the Olympic symbols, cultural and physical diversity, and urban regeneration. The 150 illustrations include not only official posters for both Olympic and Winter Olympic Games, but also posters for some early, alternative or cancelled games, as well as related ephemera and contectual photographs.

Loin de diminuer l’attraction pour l’inconnu, l’intérieur et le secret, l’ouverture des vantaux du cabinet peint en trompe-l’oeil introduit le spectateur dans l’exploration minutieuse des objets assemblés. D’emblée la curiosité est à l’oeuvre et produit sur le spectateur d’aujourd’hui comme sur celui d’hier le désir d’approfondir son regard, de mieux connaître les objets, de comprendre leurs liens. Rendue nécessaire par la séparation des champs du savoir qui a contribué à l’élaboration de la science moderne, la pluridisciplinarité de ce volume a pour but de rechercher une stimulante communauté d’esprit entre des spécialistes de divers domaines : la littérature, l’histoire de l’art, l’histoire des sciences et techniques. Ces travaux s’inscrivent dans une longue et dense série d’études sur la curiosité et les cabinets de curiosités dans l’Europe moderne. Pour diverses qu’elles soient, les accumulations d’objets dans les cabinets de curiosités ne sont pas fortuites : elles ont pour projet la mise en forme, sinon la mise en scène du savoir, propre à le faire exister pour lui-même et pour autrui. Au sein du monde de la curiosité, ce volume explore plusieurs types de lieux textuels ou physiques et les relations qu’ils entretiennent dans l’apparition et la construction du phénomène propre de la curiosité.
