Comment changer la société et réenchanter le livre ? William Morris, scandalisé par la laideur des livres de l'époque victorienne, entend y parvenir en créant des livres inactuels et néo-gothiques, non pas simples pastiches des siècles passés mais inspirés des manuscrits médiévaux et des premiers incunables de sa bibliothèque personnelle. Livres qui, selon lui, doivent tendre vers la perfection et incarner l'idéal voulu par John Ruskin, à l'image de l'une des plus merveilleuses réalisations du private press movement, le magistral et testamentaire Kelmscott Chaucer, décrit par le peintre préraphaélite Burne-Jones comme une « cathédrale de poche ». Florence Alibert offre ici de découvrir ou de redécouvrir au fil de la vie et des oeuvres de l'artiste, la dernière croisade du peintre, dessinateur, homme politique, poète, architecte et imprimeur William Morris, qui séduira nombre de créateurs britanniques, belges ou allemands et ne donnera lieu en France qu'à de timides et partielles expérimentations. Cathédrale et imprimé fusionnent, le livre, à la conception architecturale, devient un tout harmonieux. Et alors qu'il l'évoque parfois avec légèreté, la « petite aventure typographique » de Morris, devenue projet de plus grande envergure, se pose comme une enclave possible contre les conventions de la modernité : « Je voulais imprimer quelques beaux livres. Et je voulais m'amuser. Et je peux dire que j'ai fait les deux. » Docteur en esthétique et philosophie de l'art, conservateur des bibliothèques, Florence Alibert est maître de conférences à l'Université d'Angers. Ses recherches portent sur les publications du private press movement en Europe autour de 1900 et sur la numérisation des collections patrimoniales

As Teresa Longo's groundbreaking examination reveals, North America's dissident literature has its roots in the Latin American literary tradition. From Pablo Neruda's Canto General to Eduardo Galeano's Open Veins of Latin America to Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude--among others--contemporary writers throughout the Americas have forced us to reconsider the United States's relationship with Latin America, and more broadly with the Global South. Highlighting the importance of reading and re-reading the Latin American canon in the United States, Longo finds that literature can be an instrument of progressive social change, and argues that small literary presses--City Lights, Curbstone, and Seven Stories--have made that dissent visible in the United States. In the book's final two chapters on the Robert F. Kennedy Center's Speak Truth to Power initiative and the publication of Marc Falkoff's Poems from Guantánamo, the author turns our attention further outward, probing the role poetry, theater, and photography play in global human rights work. Locating the work of artists and writers alongside that of scholars and legal advocates, Visible Dissent not only unveils the staying-power of committed writing, it honors the cross-currents and the on-the-ground implications of humane political engagement.

Late medieval books served as treasure chests for all kinds of religious keepsakes, notably small metal badges. Devotees sewed these religious badges and pilgrimage souvenirs to the parchment of their treasured devotional books and manuscript illuminators depicted silver and gilt badges in the margins as if they are sewn to the pages. Medieval manuscripts are often admired for their aesthetic qualities, but many of them also served a practical use as instruments for the physical and mental wellbeing of the owners and their families. Manuscripts and incunabula containing metal badges illustrate how the owners used their books, which texts they favored, but also who collected badges and why. The depicted badges that only appear in richly illuminated and expensive manuscripts expand the knowledge of these metal objects that have been passed down in small numbers only. The painted motifs that have a more decorative and structuring role in the book fulfilled different functions than the original badges. 'Silver Saints' discusses the religious life of lay people in the late Middle Ages and the meaning of badges in books, both the painted motifs in beautifully decorated manuscripts and many traces of original badges

In the seventeenth century, Balthasar Moretus I was master of the Plantin Press. The Baroque era was in full sway and proved highly influential on developments in the world of books. Balthasar succeeded in getting leading artists to work on his book designs. This included collaborating with Peter Paul Rubens on more than twenty projects. Even today, publishers still play the role of director in terms of book innovation, and the relationship between publisher and artist remains as important now as it was in the past. "Balthasar Moretus and the passion of publishing" introduces the reader to fascinating publishing projects that make us look at books in a new light. We learn how both publisher and artist are constantly reinventing the book together.

Romeyn de Hooghe was the most inventive and prolific etcher of the later Dutch Golden Age. The producer of wide-ranging book illustrations, newsprints, allegories, and satire, he is best known as the chief propaganda artist working for stadtholder and king William III. This study, the first book-length biography of de Hooghe, narrates how his reputation became badly tarnished when he was accused of pornography, fraud, larceny, and atheism. Traditionally regarded as a godless rogue, and more recently as an exponent of the Radical Enlightenment, de Hooghe emerges in this study as a successful entrepreneur, a social climber, and an Orangist spin doctor. A study in seventeenth-century political culture and patronage, focusing on spin and slander, this book explores how artists, politicians, and hacks employed literature and the visual arts in political discourse, and tried to capture their readership with satire, mockery, fun, and laughter.

Deux volumes des 'Nugae' seront consacrés à la thèse de Renaud Adam. Le premier livre est un historique détaillé de l'introduction de l'art typographique dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux et de son évolution jusqu'en 1520, complété par un dictionnaire prosopographique. Le second livre répond à la question: comment les premiers imprimeurs se sont-ils intégrés au tissu socio-économique des Pays-Bas méridionaux et de la principauté de Liège au tournant des XVe et XVIe siècles. Cette étude a été structurée autour de deux axes. Les regards se sont portés sur le métier d'imprimeur avec des questionnements centrés sur le statut juridique et l'organisation de cette profession, sur le fonctionnement interne d'une imprimerie ainsi que sur la commercialisation des livres et le profil de la clientèle. Les résultats de la dernière partie sont le fruit d'une investigation dans la composition de la communauté typographique et d'une tentative de décorticage des trames réticulaires nouées avec les autres acteurs de la société urbaine.

Virginia Woolf and the World of Books will examine Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press as a key intervention in modernist and women's writing and mark its importance to independent publishing, bookselling, and print culture at large. The research in this volume coincides with the centenary of the founding of Hogarth Press in 1917, thus making a timely addition to scholarship on the Woolfs and print culture.

This book presents a survey of ninety of the finest and most interesting medieval manuscripts produced in the southern Netherlands. present-day Belgium . which ended up in Dutch public collections at various points in time.0This largely unknown cultural heritage is displayed here in a vast panoramic context ranging from the tenth to the mid-sixteenth century. The painted scenes in these handwritten books are not only of a high artistic quality, but also present a richly-textured picture of medieval life. The emphasis is on the role of books in the society of the Middle Ages: they served as expressions of sumptuousness on the part of the aristocracy, as richly-decorated books for church services, and as cherished objects used by affluent burghers for their private devotion. The authors also devote attention to the large-size, superbly-illustrated works of history and literature that were produced under the patronage of the dukes of Burgundy. Other subjects include the Order of the Golden Fleece, the artistic ties between the northern and southern Netherlands, pilgrim badges, and the transition from manuscripts to printed books.00Exhibition: Museum Catharijneconvent, Utrecht, The Netherlands (23.02.-03.06.2018).
