内容简介

It is perhaps the greatest story never told: the truth behindthe most-enduring works of literature in the English language,perhaps in any language. Who was the man behind Hamlet? Whatpassion inspired the sonnets, whose words were so powerful that“not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlivethis powerful rhyme"? In Shakespeare’s Lost Kingdom, criticallyacclaimed historian Charles Beauclerk pulls off an astounding feat,humanizing the Bard who for centuries has remained beyond ourgrasp. Beauclerk has spent more than two decades researching theauthorship question, and if the plays were discovered today, heargues, we would see them for what they are--shocking politicalworks written by a court insider, someone with the monarch'sindulgence, shielded from repression in an unstable time of armadaand reformation. But the author's identity was quickly swept underthe rug after his death. The official history--of an uneducatedmerchant writing in near obscurity, and of a virginal queen ma

When it was originally published in 1970, "How to Draw What YouSee" zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill's best-seller list--and ithas remained there ever since. "I believe that you must be able todraw things as you see them--realistically," wrote Rudy de Reyna inhis introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned todraw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, usingde Reyna's methods. "How to Draw What You See" shows artists how torecognize the basic shape of an object--cube, cylinder, cone, orsphere--and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how muchdetail it contains.

W. Dean Sutcliffe investigates one of the greatest yet leastunderstood repertories of Western keyboard music: the 555 keyboardsonatas of Domenico Scarlatti. Scarlatti occupies a position ofsolitary splendour in musical history. The sources of his style areoften obscure and his immediate influence is difficult to discern.Further, the lack of hard documentary evidence has hinderedmusicological activity. Dr Sutcliffe offers not just a thoroughreconsideration of the historical factors that have contributed toScarlatti's position, but also sustained engagement with the music,offering both individual readings and broader commentary of anunprecedented kind. A principal task of this book is to remove thecomposer from his critical ghetto (however honourable) and redefinehis image. In so doing it will reflect on the historiographicaldifficulties involved in understanding eighteenth-century musicalstyle.

These free-wheeling, often exhilarating dialogues—which grewout of the acclaimed Carnegie Hall Talks—are an exchange betweentwo of the most prominent figures in contemporary culture: DanielBarenboim, internationally renowned conductor and pianist, andEdward W. Said, eminent literary critic and impassioned commentatoron the Middle East. Barenboim is an Argentinian-Israeli and Said aPalestinian-American; they are also close friends. As they range across music, literature, and society, they openup many fields of inquiry: the importance of a sense of place;music as a defiance of silence; the legacies of artists from Mozartand Beethoven to Dickens and Adorno; Wagner’s anti-Semitism; andthe need for “artistic solutions” to the predicament of the MiddleEast—something they both witnessed when they brought young Arab andIsraeli musicians together. Erudite, intimate, thoughtful andspontaneous, Parallels and Paradoxes is a virtuosiccollaboration.
