Friar, Reformer, and Renaissance Scholar
Giles was born in Viterbo in 1469 and entered the Augustinian monastery there in June 1488. He ws aged eighteen and had completed his studies of humanities and a course in philosophy. Giles remains a special source for understanding certain aspects of the Renaissance. He played many roles -- orator at the papal court, reforming prior general of the Augustinians, synthesizer -- almost syncretizer -- of certain strains of Renaissance culture. He left behind a large body of work, ranging from practical directives as superior general of a major religious order to the most abstruse speculation on theologoical, historical, and other subjects. Almost every literary genre is represented. This volume contains a revised form of Francis X. Martin’s important Cambridge dissertation on Giles, plus suporting materials in the appendices prepared by other scholars.

Francis Bacon and Nazi Propaganda
Born in 1909, Francis Bacon's entire early adulthood was penetrated by the tragedy of the Second World War. Unlike many of his contemporaries in Britain, he did not participate in the war or become a war artist. Rather, he is unique amongst his generation of artists as independently choosing Hitler, Nazi Germany and Fascist propaganda to be one of the most influential sources for his practice. In this new scholarly study, Martin Hammer addresses the question of how and why Bacon appropriated the photographs and documentation of Fascist imagery to his own expressive ends, emphasising how it was used technically in his painting as a visual aid, and how, far from being an artist of private spaces and personal anguish, he in fact found inspiration from mass circulated media and the use of it for the promotion of global ideals. Featuring an extensive selection of colour and black-and-white reproductions of both paintings and source material from Bacon's own collected archive, Hammer uses focussed visual engagement with Bacon's work, illuminating the artist's aims to comment and reflect on the wider contemporary world.

The Flyer
Between 1939 and 1945, the British public was spellbound by the martial endeavours and dashing style of the young men of the RAF, especially those with silvery fabric wings sewn above the breast pocket of their glamorous slate-blue uniform. Martin Francis provides the first scholarly study of the place of 'the flyer' in British culture during the Second World War. Examining the lives of RAF personnel, and their popular representation in literary and cinematic texts, he illuminates broader issues of gender, social class, national and racial identities, emotional life, and the creation of a national myth in twentieth-century Britain. In particular, Francis argues that the flyer's relationship ...
