Music in the Galant Style - Robert (professor Of Music Gjerdingen - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Music in the Galant Style - Robert (professor Of Music Gjerdingen - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Music in the Galant Style is an authoritative and readily understandable study of the core compositional style of the eighteenth century. Gjerdingen adopts a unique approach, based on a massive but little-known corpus of pedagogical workbooks used by the most influential teachers of the century, the Italian partimenti. He has brought this vital repository of compositional methods into confrontation with a set of schemata distilled from an enormous body of eighteenth-century music, much of it known only to specialists, formative of the "galant style."

Journeys Through Galant Expositions - L. Poundie Burstein - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Journeys Through Galant Expositions - L. Poundie Burstein - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Ever since the nineteenth century, descriptions of musical form have tended to rely heavily on architectonic analogies. In contrast, earlier discussions more often invoked the metaphor of a journey to describe the structure of a composition. In Journeys Through Galant Expositions, author L. Poundie Burstein encourages readers to view the form of Galant music through this earlier metaphorical lens, much as those who composed, performed, improvised, and listened to music in the mid-1700s would have experienced it.By elucidating eighteenth-century ideas regarding musical form and applying them to works by a wide range of composers — including Haydn and Mozart, as well as a host of others who are often overlooked — this innovative study provides an accessible new window into the music of this time. Rather than dissecting concepts from the 1700s as a mere historical exercise or treating them as a precursor of later theories, Burstein invigorates the ideas of theorists such as Heinrich Christoph Koch and shows how they can directly impact our understanding and appreciation of Galant music as audiences and performers.

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd''s Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides, Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other ''penny dreadfuls'', which became bestsellers. Lloyd''s publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens''s novels, such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection, leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers, such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism, whilst developing links with Victorian politics, theatre and music.

Baudelaire's World - Rosemary Lloyd - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Baudelaire's World - Rosemary Lloyd - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

Charles Baudelaire is often regarded as the founder of modernist poetry. Written with clarity and verve, Baudelaire''s World provides English-language readers with the biographical, historical, and cultural contexts that will lead to a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the great French poet''s work. Rosemary Lloyd considers all of Baudelaire''s writing, including his criticism, theory, and letters, as well as poetry. In doing so, she sets the poems themselves in a richer context, in a landscape of real places populated with actual people. She shows how Baudelaire''s poetry was marked by the influence of the writers and artists who preceded him or were his contemporaries. Lloyd builds an image of Baudelaire''s world around major themes of his writing—childhood, women, reading, the city, dreams, art, nature, death. Throughout, she finds that his words and themes echo the historical and physical realities of life in mid-nineteenth-century Paris. Lloyd also explores the possibilities and limitations of translation. As an integral part of her treatment of the life, poetry, and letters of her subject, she also reflects on published translations of Baudelaire''s work and offers some of her own translations.

The British Empire 1558-1995 - T.o. Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The British Empire 1558-1995 - T.o. Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This is a comprehensive survey of the entire history of the British empire. Avoiding the polemics or apologetics that were inevitable when the empire was still at the centre of political controversy, T. O. Lloyd describes the full sweep of expansion and decolonization from the voyages of discovery in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the achievement of independence in the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing out both parallels and differences between paths of development throughout the empire, Professor Lloyd provides a unified and coherent account of a vital period in the history of all the countries that make up the modern Commonwealth.For the second edition, Professor Lloyd has revised the text, updated the bibliography and tables, and added a final chapter on `The World after the Empire'', which examines the important events and issues of today in countries of the former empire, such as South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong, and Australia.

David Lloyd George British Labour Movement - Professor Chris Wrigley - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

David Lloyd George British Labour Movement - Professor Chris Wrigley - Bog - Edward Everett Root - Plusbog.dk

Before the First World War, Lloyd George moved from being the leading Nonconformist Welsh Radical in to being a highly effective Radical minister, providing imaginative solutions to social welfare and free trade finance. His emergence as a key figure on the Left occurred as the Labour Party developed as a contender for mining and industrial seats. With the First World War Lloyd George built on his pre-war reputation as a minister who could successfully resolve industrial conflict. He was the key production minister at Munitions in 1915-16 and continued to resolve industrial disputes as Prime Minister. Wrigley demonstrates that Lloyd George was moulded by Liberalism and, as a solicitor, admired business people even if he was a vehement critic of landowners. Highly sympathetic to poor people and unorganised labour, he was not trade union minded.

Sermons from the National Cathedral - Samuel T. Lloyd - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Sermons from the National Cathedral - Samuel T. Lloyd - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Washington National Cathedral stands in an unparalleled position at the intersection of religious faith and public life in America, and has been called the “spiritual home for the nation.” Dean Samuel T. Lloyd III occupied its massive Canterbury pulpit as dean during an often- turbulent period in the nation and rapid changes in American religious life. In Sermons from the National Cathedral, Dean Lloyd provides a compelling vision of an intellectually alive, publicly engaged Christian faith, a vision of the Christian life rooted in ancient teaching. Readers will find the sermons engaging and appreciate that Dean Lloyd takes seriously the experiences of doubt and searching that are so much a part of the modern religious experience of our time. He successfully demonstrates the positive role faith can play in public life and addresses the questions and challenges faith must face in the twenty-first century. These soundings, as Lloyd calls them, illumine the full spectrum of Christian belief while also addressing such issues as the difficulty of faith, the relationship between science and faith, the mystery of suffering, the necessity of forgiveness, the meaning of the cross, the urgency of reconciliation, and the call to care for the earth. These reflections will appeal to traditional Christians seeking spiritual enrichment and are accessible to those seeking answers to how their faith fits into our modern world.

Lloyd George - Stephen Constantine - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lloyd George - Stephen Constantine - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An understanding of Lloyd George''s long and prominent political career elucidates many of the key issues in modern British history. Seen by some as `the man who won the war'', he was central to the political activity which appeared to secure the pre-eminence of the Liberal party before the First World War, but which later contributed to its reduction in status. His initiatives in government, particularly in the area of social reform, helped to redefine the relationship between the state and society and laid the basis for the Welfare State. This pamphlet examines these developments with reference to Lloyd George''s Welsh background, his personal ambitions and his response to the challenges posed to Liberal society by radical conservatism and socialism. It draws on the wealth of material that is now available and provides a concise, interpretive study.

Lloyd George - Richard Wilkinson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Lloyd George - Richard Wilkinson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

David Lloyd George left a profound political legacy, despite being described by the wife of his successor, Herbert Asquith, as a ''gambler without foresight''. He is, of course, best known as the Prime Minister who led Britain to victory in World War I, but his contribution to domestic politics was similarly impressive. As Chancellor of the Exchequer he introduced pensions and national insurance against sickness and unemployment, while as Prime Minister he extended democracy by giving votes to women. Yet Lloyd George was compromised by his flaws as a human being. Vain, cruel, capricious and dishonest, at times his notoriously corrupt nature threatened to damage the British political system. Providing a unique new perspective on one of the most phenomenally-talented - but also one of the most phenomenally-flawed - of British Prime Ministers, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern British politics and history.

Demystifying Mentalities - Geoffrey Ernest Richard Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Demystifying Mentalities - Geoffrey Ernest Richard Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The notion of distinct mentalities has been used extensively by historians to describe and explain cultural diversity. Professor Lloyd believes it is communication, not mentalities, that explains cultural diversity. Discussing apparently irrational beliefs and behaviour, he shows how different forms of thought coexist in a single culture but within conventionally defined contexts.

Anomalous States - David Lloyd - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Anomalous States - David Lloyd - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Anomalous States is an archeology of modern Irish writing. David Lloyd commences with recent questioning of Irish identity in the wake of the northern conflict and returns to the complex terrain of nineteenth-century culture in which those questions of identity were first formed. In five linked essays, he explores modern Irish literature and its political contexts through the work of four Irish writers—Heaney, Beckett, Yeats, and Joyce. Beginning with Heaney and Beckett, Lloyd shows how in these authors the question of identity connects with the dominance of conservative cultural nationalism and argues for the need to understand Irish culture in relation to the wider experience of colonized societies. A central essay reads Yeats''s later works as a profound questioning of the founding of the state. Final essays examine the gradual formation of the state and nation as one element in a cultural process that involves conflict between popular cultural forms and emerging political economies of nationalism and the colonial state. Modern Ireland is thus seen as the product of a continuing process in which, Lloyd argues, the passage to national independence that defines Ireland''s post-colonial status is no more than a moment in its continuing history. Anomalous States makes an important contribution to the growing body of work that connects cultural theory with post-colonial historiography, literary analysis, and issues in contemporary politics. It will interest a wide readership in literary studies, cultural studies, anthropology, and history.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater - Catherine W (massachusetts Institute Of Technology Zipf - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater - Catherine W (massachusetts Institute Of Technology Zipf - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

New Deal Book Award 2022 Honourable Mention Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater explores the relationship between the economic tumult in the United States in the 1930s, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the construction of his most famous house, Fallingwater. The book reinterprets the history of this iconic building, recognizing it as a Depression-era monument that stands as a testimony to what an American architect could achieve with the right site, client, and circumstance, even in desperate economic circumstances. Using newly available resources, author Catherine W. Zipf examines Wright’s work before and after Fallingwater to show how it was influenced by the economic climate, public architectural projects of the Great Depression, and America’s changing relationship with Modernist style and technology. Including over 50 black-and-white images, this book will be of great interest to students, historians, and researchers of art, architecture, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Anatomy of Neoplatonism - A. C. ) Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Anatomy of Neoplatonism - A. C. ) Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Anatomy of Neoplatonism was the crowning achievement of A. C. Lloyd, the distinguished scholar of late ancient philosophy. He offers a rich and authoritative study of this school of thought, which was highly influential not only on subsequent philosophy but also on Christian theology. His discussion ranges over metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and language, and reveals the fundamental structure of Neoplatonist thought; the book is essential reading for all who work in this area. Lloyd shows that while Neoplatonism is not a modern philosophy, it is indeed philosophy in the modern sense. ''A comprehensive study of Neoplatonism . . . from the pen of A. C. Lloyd is greatly to be welcomed . . . a worthy and valuable culmination of many years of thought'' International Studies in Philosophy ''interesting and important . . . very rewarding'' Times Literary Supplement ''the new view of Neoplatonism that the book offers is one that is worth having'' Bryn Mawr Classical Review ''this book can be expected to become a fruitful basis of discussion as the philosophical exploration of Neoplatonic metaphysics develops'' Review of Metaphysics ''learned and fascinating . . . I doubt whether any other living scholar could have written so effectively on Neoplatonism in this way'' Contemporary Philosophical Reviews
