Children's Culture and the Avant-Garde
This volume explores the mutual influences between children’s literature and the avant-garde. Olson places particular focus on fin-de-siècle Paris, where the Avant-garde was not unified in thought and there was room for modernism to overlap with children’s literature and culture in the Golden Age. The ideas explored by artists such as Florence Upton, Henri Rousseau, Sir William Nicholson, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Marc Chagall had been disseminated widely in cultural productions for children; their work, in turn, influenced children’s culture. These artists turned to children’s culture as a "new way of seeing," allied to a contemporary interest in international artistic styles. Ch...

In this fascinating work, Barber traces the history of the legends surrounding the Holy Grail, beginning with Chrtien de Troyes's great romances of the 12th century and the medieval Church's religious version of the secular ideal.

Fantasy Aesthetics
Fantasy novels are products of popular culture. They owe their popularity also to the visualization of medievalist artifacts on book covers and designs, illustrations, maps, and marketing: Castles on towering cliffs, cathedral-like architecture, armored heroes and enchanting fairies, fierce dragons and mages follow mythical archetypes and develop pictorial aesthetics of fantasy, completed by gothic fonts, maps and page layout that refer to medieval manuscripts and chronicles. The contributors to this volume explore the patterns and paradigms of a specific medievalist iconography and book design of fantasy which can be traced from the 19th century to the present.
The Holy Grail
The Holy Grail is an image familiar to us all as an almost unattainable, infinitely desirable goal. The idea has passed into everyday speech and the legends behind it are as current in today�s culture as they have ever been. And yet the Grail has no real religious meaning and is nowhere mentioned in the Bible. What is the truth behind this elusive symbol? Here, Barber traces the history of the stories surrounding the Holy Grail. He describes how through a long series of imaginative transformations, the grail has moved from the sphere of romance to religion, and in twentieth century popular culture has become an emblem of mysticism and man�s highest aspirations, intimately linked with the central ritual of the Christian faith. The search for the grail has always been described as a quest; in this book, Barber goes on his own quest, brilliantly exploring the richness of the Holy Grail�s cultural impact. Barber traces the history of legends surrounding the Holy Grail, from Chretien de Troyes' great romances to the popular bestsellers of the late twentieth century.

Schnaps
Die Alkoholkultur ruht in Deutschland im Wesentlichen auf den drei Pfeilern Bier, Wein und Spirituosen, die sich in zahllose Variationen auffächern. Dementsprechend sind in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche kulturgeschichtliche Publikationen zu den beiden erstgenannten Alkoholarten erschienen, beispielsweise 2016 anlässlich des mehr als Marketing-Gag, denn wissenschaftlich als Kontinuum anzusehenden 500-jährigen Jubiläums des Bayerischen Reinheitsgebots für Bier; bei Wein waren es strukturgeschichtliche Themen wie etwa dessen unterschätze Bedeutung in der Konsumkultur der frühen Neuzeit, um nur Beispiele angeführt zu haben. Interessanterweise fand die Kulturgeschichte der Spirituosen demgegenüber bislang nahezu keine vergleichbare Würdigung. Im Gegenteil, die geringe Anzahl an verfügbarer neuerer Fachliteratur hierzu erscheint fast wie eine Art Abstinenz dem Thema gegenüber.
