Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites
Oxford and the Pre-Raphaelites describes how the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement came to Oxford in the mid-nineteenth century and how their art was affected by the life of the University. The colour illustrations, which include most of the paintings and a number of the drawings of the Pre-Raphaelites in the Ashmolean and elsewhere in Oxford, trace the history of the movement from its origins in the 1840s to the end of the century.
Nineteenth-Century French Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum
A fully illustrated, comprehensive, and scholarly catalogue of the paintings in the Ashmolean Museum's collection by French artists born between 1775 and 1875 The only complete catalogue of French paintings of the period in the Ashmolean Museum, this comprehensive and scholarly study explores their rich collection of nineteenth-century French art.

The Life in My Years
At the heart of this book is a cry for change in attitude - to respect nature and all that it provides. Virginia McKenna has pushed aside the glamour of movie stardom, the West End and Broadway where she starred in major shows like The King and I and A Little Night Music. Instead she focuses relentlessly on her personal mission with the Born Free Foundation or the plight of orphaned children across the world. Through the prism of memory a lifetime of experiences, ecstatic, amusing or tragic have flooded back in the form of anecdotes, meditations and poems to form this book. This book will inspire anyone who cares about the future of the planet and all the creatures dependent on it, including human beings. Part of the proceeds from each book sold will go to support Born Free Foundation campaigns.

Image and Word
"What was the role of images in the Western tradition? And how did they relate to the printed work? The essays in this wide-ranging collection address these questions by presenting a variety of material, including visual representations that can be read as texts and traditional book illustrations. The editors offer a critical review of visual arts and texts, encompassing thirteenth-century Spanish miniatures, Italian Renaissance painting and book illustrations, the explosion of inter-arts comparisons in the nineteenth century in the works of such diverse writers as Blake, Mallarme and D'Annunzio, and the modern debate on the visual arts."
