Death and Memory
This book of essays is published to coincide with an exhibition of the same title at Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London (October 23, 2015 March 26, 2016) commemorating the 200th anniversary of Soane's beloved wife Eliza's death on November 22, 1815. Its relevance to Soane studies, is, however, much broader, with essays shedding new light on the architecture of legacy in Sir John Soane's Museum; Soane's preoccupation with memorialization as revealed in the design process for the Soane family tomb; the legacy of his drawings collection; and Soane's attempt shortly before his death to sustain future interest in his collections by creating a series of time capsules. The essays, written by the curatorial team at Sir John Soane's Museum, are accompanied by 39 illustrations in full color, some of them published for the first time."
From Enlightenment to Romanticism
This is the second of two anthologies designed to form an interdisciplinary exploration of the changes and transitions in European culture between 1780 and 1830. The collection of extracts in this anthology provide primary and secondary sources on industry and changing landscapes, new forms of knowledge, new conceptions of art and the artist, and the exotic and the Oriental. Each selection is accompanied by a detailed introduction explaining the context and significance of the sources. Extracts in the anthology stimulate questions rather than providing reassuring answers, but provide vital insights to the major events, movements, and personalities of the time. This volume provides an invaluable resource for all students of European culture in the period. A companion volume offers readings on the death of the Old Regime, the Napoleonic phenomenon, and slavery, religion and reform.
The Stranger Knight, with the Bond of Blood
2012 marks the 200th anniversary of George Soane's alluringly titled Gothic novel Knight Daemon and Robber Chief. There's only one problem: no one's ever located a copy, and there's no proof it ever existed. But Valancourt Books has unearthed a similarly titled text also by Soane, published the same year, with the same publisher: could there be a connection to Soane's lost novel? In The Stranger Knight, originally serialized in eight parts in The Theatrical Inquisitor in 1812-14, Count Ottocar returns from a bloody battle to find the black banner, the emblem of death, flying above the battlements of his castle. His wife is dead, his son has been abducted, and his favourite page is near death...
