Benton End Remembered
"When in 1939 Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines visited Benton End, overlooking the River Brett on the outskirts of Hadleigh, Suffolk, they were both established artists with international reputations. What they found was a somewhat ramshackle but capacious sixteenth-century house which had been unoccupied for fifteen years, standing in over three acres of walled gardens lost beneath brambles and elderberries. But in 1940, Benton End became both their home and the new premises of the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing which they, disillusioned with the commercial aspects of the art world, had founded together in 1937." "From 1940 until Lett Haines died in 1978 and Cedric Morris i...
The Sculptor Bernard Reynolds
Bernard Reynolds was a man - and an artist - very much of his time. His upbringing was strict, yet instilled in him a deep love of nature and art. Indeed, if he was without a sculpture project of some kind, even for a short time, he felt uncomfortable. For Bernard, family life with Gwynneth, the children and grandchildren, and his social life within a large, varied circle of friends. was not conducted entirely separately from art. Right up until his death in 1997, he was proposing and working on new ideas for sculpture, and delighting in drawing from life. Pat Hurrell is a lecturer in Visual History and Theory in Photography at University Campus Suffolk in Ipswich.

Migrants Against Slavery
A significant number of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Virginians migrated north and west with the intent of extricating themselves from a slave society. All sought some kind of freedom: whites who left the Old Dominion to escape from slavery refused to live any longer as slave owners or as participants in a society grounded in bondage; fugitive slaves attempted to liberate themselves; free African Americans searched for greater opportunity. In Migrants against Slavery Philip J. Schwarz suggests that antislavery migrant Virginians, both the famous--such as fugitive Anthony Burns and abolitionist Edward Coles--and the lesser known, deserve closer scrutiny. Their migration and its aftermath, he argues, intensified the national controversy over human bondage, playing a larger role than previous historians have realized in shaping American identity and in Americans' effort to define the meaning of freedom.
The Flesh of Kings
Flaring tensions over Jerusalem's Temple Mount have led to the complete structural collapse of the Dome of the Rock. Prophesied for millennia, the final terror is at hand, followed by seven long years of apocalyptic warfare locked in stalemate. And then the war is over. Or so it would seem. From out of nowhere, and to the cheers of an exhausted globe, a charismatic teacher and mystic calling himself Janus Philio has crowned himself King of kings in Jerusalem. World-healing miracles ensue, but is he the second coming of Jesus Christ-which he refuses to call himself-or another in a seemingly endless series of Antichrists? Meanwhile, rising from obscurity in plague-ravaged Los Angeles, preacher...
