2020133472New Castle Delaware: Oak Knoll Press 2020. Cloth with dust jacket. 7 x 10.375 inches. Cloth with dust jacket. 320 pages plus 8-page color insert. "Oak Knoll Press is the leading source for author and subject bibliographies. A stellar recent example is Theodore Roosevelt: A Descriptive Bibliography by Heather G. Cole and R.W.G. Vail which chronicles the writing career and many books -- from The Naval War of 1812 to A Book-Lovers Holidays in the Open -- authored by this most intellectually wide-ranging of 20th-century presidents."<BR><br /> - Michael Dirda The Washington Post<BR><br /> <BR><br /> "It is not hyperbole to state that this is one of the most valuable and important works of TR scholarship to be published in many years."<BR><br /> - Gregory A. Wynn Vice President Theodore Roosevelt Association<BR><br /> <BR><br /> Dedicated civil servant decorated soldier popular statesman and beloved family man Theodore Roosevelt 1858-1919 was also one of the most prolific American presidents. From an early age he published articles pamphlets and monographs on a wide variety of topics ranging from a naval history of the War of 1812 to a biography of Oliver Cromwell from memoirs of time spent ranching in the Dakotas to an essay on Irish theater. His works became collectable during his lifetime and were frequently repackaged and republished by those hoping to capitalize on the popular presidents success.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> This is the first complete descriptive bibliography of Roosevelt's works to be published. R.W.G. Vail 1890-1966 prepared an exhaustive bibliography in the early 1920s while serving as librarian for the Roosevelt Memorial Association now the Theodore Roosevelt Association. His work typewritten on 3000 large note cards came to Harvard's Houghton Library as part of the Theodore Roosevelt Collection where it remained hidden away for the past century. This bibliography reexamines and expands upon Vail's work providing a detailed overview of Roosevelt's impressive publication list.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> The bibliography includes seven sections: a descriptive bibliography of monographs and pamphlets and of monographs to which Roosevelt contributed essays; a list of articles published in periodicals; a list of collected works published in his lifetime; a list of separately published speeches; a list of translations of books published during his lifetime; and a series of appendices.<BR><br /> <BR><br /> Heather Cole former Curator of the Houghton Library's Theodore Roosevelt Collection has edited and expanded on Vail's work updating and adding to his research. She had access to the same collection Vail used to compose his bibliography as well as numerous additional copies of each of Roosevelt's works to use for comparison. She also examines Roosevelt's own copies of his works at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site as well as other examples held in private collections and libraries. The collection at Harvard includes correspondence with publishers manuscripts and other resources that supported the research for this publication. <BR><br /> <BR><br /> Designed by Scott Vile.

The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 is one of the Folger Shakespeare Library's greatest treasures.

Its 594 oversized pages depict life in Shakespeare's England in all of its brilliant complexities-from the mythical to the mundane poetical to practical religious to secular. <br /> <br /> Thomas Trevelyon the compiler was a skilled scribe and pattern-maker who had access to a stunning variety of English and Continental woodcuts engravings broadsides almanacs chronicles and emblem books which he transformed from small monochrome images into large and colorful feasts for the eyes. Ostensibly created for the entertainment education and edification of his friends and family Trevelyon's miscellany is a lifetime achievement that continues to delight and mystify modern audiences with its familiar scenes of domesticity and husbandry intertwined with epic Protestant and political epitomes: accounts of the rulers of England and the Gunpowder Plot descriptions of local fairs the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge and astronomy according to Ptolemy illustrations of the nine muses and the seven deadly sins of Old Testament history and household proverbs and whimsical flowers alphabets and embroidery patterns. <br /> <br /> This massive volume full of beautiful illustrations provides an exciting and unparalleled snapshot of the passions concerns and everyday interests of a highly talented London commoner and for this reason is of significant scholarly and general interest. It is a monumental work that was intended to be both studied and enjoyed its pages turned and savored. For the first time since its arrival at the Folger in 1945 a generous gift from Lessing Rosenwald this is possible thanks to state-of-the-art conservation and high resolution digitization by Luna Imaging. The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 was published in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library. <br /> <br /> Home to the world's largest Shakespeare collection and a primary repository for research material from the early modern period 1500-1750 the Folger Shakespeare Library is an internationally recognized research library offering advanced scholarly programs in the humanities; a national leader in how Shakespeare is taught in grades K-12; and an award-winning producer of cultural and arts programs-theater music poetry exhibits lectures and family programs.

Glossy black and illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. xi 194 pp. Mainly color illustrations. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Bard Graduate Center New York July 22-Oct. 17 2004. Contents as follows: Collecting neoclassical decorative art at The metropolitan museum of art / Heather Jane McCormick -- The metamorphosis of the neoclassical vase / Hans Ottomeyer -- The Hamilton collection and its influence -- The vase as a template for artists and early neoclassicism -- Tradition and innovation at the royal manufactories -- Technical discoveries and the commercial marketing of the vase -- Neoclassicism and the new aesthetic in silver -- The vase as ornament in furniture and furnishings -- The vase as a design element in interiors -- Symbol to satire: the vase as icon. When the ancient sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii were excavated in the eighteenth century the objects found there renewed artistic interest in classicism. Neoclassical style and imagery permeated paintings sculpture furniture and decorative arts of the period and a central element of design in all these art forms was the vase." "This book focuses on the vase as an artistic and ornamental form in a variety of media. It presents and discusses almost one hundred hidden treasures from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection - not only vases but also wine and water urns knife boxes ink wells perfume burners fabrics carved paneling marquetry furniture silver works on paper and paintings - all using the vase motif. Vase imagery ranged from austere to fantastic to romantic say the authors of this book and the vase became a new paradigm of beauty as well as an icon of European neoclassicism."--Jacket.
