Being a Treatise of Very Great Use and Consequence to All Men Especially in These Times Wherein Actions for Slander are More Common Then in Times Past.

ISBN-13: 9781584778974. ISBN-10: 1584778970. Cloth. New. $195. Reprint of the first edition. Sheppard's Action Upon the Case for Slander and William March's Actions for Slaunder 1647 were the first two books to address the topic. As indicated by its preface Sheppard's is especially interesting. " this Age the iniquity of the Tongue that little Member set on fire by Hell is not the least; And among the evils of the Tongue is there any more pernicious and deadly and yet more common and epidemical then Backbiting and Slander . It is true that in former times wee finde Actions of the Case for Slanderous words very rarely brought; which speaks this much that such words were then very rarely spoken. But in these daies they are become almost as natural to men as their language and discourse; and therefore the disease so deeply rooted and over-spreading calls for the application of the Remedy which our Law doth abundantly furnish us withall. And hence it is I have been encouraged to ingage in this work; which is nothing else but a naked and Methodical Collection of the remedies prescribed by the Law against this Malady. unknown books

2010125665San Antonio Texas: Tobin Theater Arts Fund 2010. Hardbound. Fine well bound DJ in excellent condition. Burgundy cloth boards w/ color pictorial DJ xi 366pp profuse color and BW plates and illustrations. With bright beautiful pictures and excellent descriptions this is a fantastic book to have as reference to learn or just to keep on the coffee table and pick up at will. Theatrical scene design is one of the most beautiful varied and lively art forms. Yet there are relatively few books on the subject and almost none for a general audience that combine expansive scholarship with lavish design. Making the Scene offers an unprecedented survey of the evolving context theory and practice of scene design from ancient Greek times to the present coauthored by the world's best-known authority on the subject and enhanced by three hundred full-color illustrations. Individual chapters of the book focus on Greece Rome Medieval Europe including liturgical drama street pageants festival outdoor drama Spanish religious drama and royal entries the Italian Renaissance eighteenth-century Europe Classicism to Romanticism Realism and Naturalism Modernism and contemporary scene design. Making the Scene's authors review everything from the effects of social status on theatre design to the sea changes between Classicism Romanticism and Naturalism and the influence of perspective-based thought. Particularly intriguing is their rediscovery of lost tricks and techniques from the classical deus ex machina and special effects in coliseums to medieval roving stage wagons and the floating ships of the Renaissance to the computerized practices of today's theatres. Such ingenious techniques interwoven with the sweeping beauty of scene design through the ages combine with the keen scholarship of Oscar Brockett and Margaret Mitchell to create a book as involving as the art it showcases.

200167551Aldershot: Ashgate 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The modernist aesthetic and later Nazi ideology split German Romantic painting into two opposed phases an early progressive movement represented by Caspar David Friedrich 1774-1840 and Philipp Otto Runge 1777-1810 and a later reactionary one - epitomized by Friedrich Overbeck 1789-1869 and Peter von Cornelius 1783-1867. In this rich and engaging book Mitchell Frank explores the continuities between these two phases to reconstruct the historical position that existed in the nineteenth century and to look once again at the Nazarenes - and Overbeck in particular - as a fully integrated part of the Romantic movement. His innovative book is crucial to an understanding of German Romanticism and the legacy of this period in European art." 64 illustrations. Tall octavo. Original black cloth binding with gilt titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Ashgate hardcover books
