190655794London: Smith Elder & Co 1906. Hardcover. Very good condition. Octavo. Original three-quarter blue Morocco over textured light blue cloth with gilt lettering and tooling on spines raised bands. Top edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Frontispiece engravings. Illustrated throughout with some ten plates for each volume including reproduction of photographs gravures and documents.<br /> <br /> Born into a religious literary family the early deaths of their mother and their two elder sisters profoundly influenced their writing tremendously. Initially publishing their works under the male pseudonyms Currer Ellis and Acton Bell it was Charlotte's Jane Eyre initially published under the pseudonym Currer Bell that was the first literary and commercial success.<br /> <br /> Growing up in Haworth near Keighley in West Yorkshire Charlotte and Emily had written compulsively from early childhood but their first books of poetry in 1846 attracted little attention. Returning to prose the three sisters released a novel each in the year following Charlotte's Jane Eyre Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Grey all three of them receiving great critical attention but only Charlotte's Jane Eyre was an instant commercial success. Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Gray were deemed masterpieces of literature only after their death and the literary works of the three sisters were eventually accepted into the canon of great English literature.<br /> <br /> Bindings with very light wear volume five with small coffee stain on a few pages at foredge.

"Nietzsche's writings have shaped much contemporary reflection on the relation between philosophy and art. This book brings together a number of distinguished contributors to examine his aesthetic account of the origins and ends of philosophy. They discuss the transformative power which Nietzsche ascribes to aesthetic activity including his aesthetic justification of existence and its fusion of social and personal existence and they investigate his experiments with an 'aesthetic politics' and a politicisation of aesthetics. Together their essays set out the ground for future debate about the inter-relation between art philosophy and value." -- with a bonus offer-- . Cambridge Univ Pr hardcover

Thirty separate sound sources hung from the trees in the Yard each playing the recorded voices of readers speaking in various languages. The voices told stories about place including a selection from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino along with personal memories poems and folk tales. The work occurred each evening between dusk and darkness for a two-week period. As natural light fell white light cast horizontally from the tops of flanking buildings gradually took over from the setting sun catching the leaves of the trees. The work's magical effects were praised by the Boston Globe which listed it as the year's best art exhibition. The book consists of a series of responses to the work from the poetical to the theoretical reflecting the range of deep thought provoked by the experience of Canopy itself whether that thought was emotional or theoretical. This project evolved from an artist's residency organized and sponsored by five organizations within Harvard University: the Harvard University Art Museums the Office for the Arts at Harvard and Radcliffe the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies and the Graduate School of Design. Copublished with the Office for the Arts at Harvard and Radcliffe. -- with a bonus offer-- . Univ paperback
