Black cloth with silver spine titles gray endpapers. "Cecil Beaton called him the best photographer in Britain; Lord Snowdon declared him a genius. It is no exaggeration to say that Angus McBean revolutionized portraiture in the 1930s or that he immortalized the likes of Audrey Hepburn Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor. Blending wit drama and fantasy with the consummate skill of a master photographer McBean was the most prominent theater photographer of his generation and along with Beaton the last of the British avant-garde studio photographers. For the first time since his death in 1990 McBean's photographs of stars such as Vivien Leigh Peggy Ashcroft Laurence Olivier John Gielgud and Audrey Hepburn and his rarely seen color prints from the 1960s of the Beatles Maria Callas and Shirley Bassey are brought together in this fascinating book.

201115862University College Dublin Press. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; Plutarch whose works have remained immensely popular through the years has shaped our ideas about much of the ancient world. His humane sensibilities his skill in storytelling and not least his humor have combined to charm readers throughout the centuries persuading them that he is like them. In the twentieth century he was declared a feminist. In this study Chapman argues that his attitudes towards women were in fact those of his time and that while he opted for persuasion instead of force in controlling women his views are nonetheless chauvinistic. This book breaks new ground in scholarly terms but is also accessible to the general reader who wants to learn more about Plutarch and women in antiquity.; 210 pages . 1906359644 .

200243327Society of Biblical Literature. 2002. Softcover. Very Good. Very Faint shelfwear.; This book provides the first translations in English and a preliminary analysis of the commentaries on the chreia chapter in Aphthonius's standard Progymnasmata a classroom guide on composition. The chreia or anecdote was a popular form that preserved the wisdom of philosophers kings generals and sophists. Aphthonius used the chreia to provide instructions on how to construct an argument and to confirm the validity of the chreia by means of an eight-paragraph essay. His treatment of this classroom exercise however was so brief that commentators needed to clarify explain and supplement what he had written as well as to situate the chreia as preparation for the study of rhetoric the kinds of public speeches and the parts of a speech. By means of these Byzantine commentaries we can thus see more clearly how this important form and its confirmation were taught in classrooms for over a thousand years.; Writings From The Greco-Roman World 2; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 424 pages . 1589830180 .

Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Wilson examines the nature of compensation--ransom and revenge--in the Iliad offering a fundamentally new reading of the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. She presents a detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer located in the wider context of agonistic exchange to demonstrate how the struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system of Homeric society. The study thus asserts the integral role of compensation in the traditional cultural and poetic matrix of this foundational epic.; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 250 pages . 0521806607 .
