Playing on
Both a breathtaking talent and a die-hard lover of football, Alessandro Del Piero is widely regarded as one of the most influential and watchable playmakers the modern era has seen. Having been in the play-making trequartista role for world-class attacks alongside Zinedine Zidane and Roberto Baggio, Del Piero has done it all.

Roth Unbound
A critical evaluation of Philip Roth—the first of its kind—that takes on the man, the myth, and the work Philip Roth is one of the most renowned writers of our time. From his debut, Goodbye, Columbus, which won the National Book Award in 1960, and the explosion of Portnoy's Complaint in 1969 to his haunting reimagining of Anne Frank's story in The Ghost Writer ten years later and the series of masterworks starting in the mid-eighties—The Counterlife, Patrimony, Operation Shylock, Sabbath's Theater, American Pastoral, The HumanStain—Roth has produced some of the great American literature of the modern era. And yet there has been no major critical work about him until now. Here, at las...
Handbook of the Pierpont Morgan Wing
Written in 1925, this handbook discusses the objects exhibited in the galleries of the Pierpont Morgan Wing. Historic photographs of the galleries provide insight into the history of this part of the museum, and a series of general chapters discuss the development of the arts and periods represented in the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection with a consideration of political, social, and economic contexts.
Fat
Selected from the past twenty years of W. S. Di Piero's prose writings, Fat displays the range and intensity that caused Poetry magazine to call him "probably the most consistently compelling and idiosyncratic prose writer among contemporary American poets." Ranging from a response to 9/11 and reflections on fatherhood, food, and music, to reconsiderations of Robert Browning, James Schuyler, and other poets, to reviews of old master artists like Rembrandt and Bellini as well as modern figures like Bill Traylor and Robert Mapplethorpe, these pieces provoke and tease out the meanings of contemporary life and the legacies of the past.
A Catalogue of Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century Now in the Bodleian Library
The Bodleian's incunable catalogue describes the Library's fifteenth-century western printed books to the same standards expected in the best modern catalogues of medieval manuscripts. It records and identifies all texts contained in each volume, and the detailed analysis of the textual content is an innovative feature. Further information about authors, editors, translators, and dedicatees is given in an extensive index of names, complete with biographical and other information; this index will be of interest to textural scholars from the classical period to the renaissance. The detailed descriptions of the copy-specific features of each book (the binding, hand-decoration and hand-finishing, marginalia, and provenance) form another important contribution to scholarship. The provenance index will be of great value to all those interested in the history of the book from the 1450s to the present day.
Piero della Francesca and the Invention of the Artist
As one of the most innovative and enlightened painters of the early Italian Renaissance, Piero della Francesca brought space, luminosity, and unparalleled subtlety to painting. In addition, Piero invented the role of the modern artist by becoming a traveler, a courtier, a geometrician, a patron, and much else besides. In this nuanced account of this great painter’s life and art, Machtelt Brüggen Israëls reconstructs how Piero came of age. Successfully demystifying the persistent notion of Piero’s art as enigmatic, she reveals the simple and stunning intentions behind his work.
Art Books
