Formwerdung und Formentzug
Der Prozess der Formung beginnt mit der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Chaos, einer immer wieder aktualisierten Anspielung auf die göttliche Schöpfung. Dieser Topos des Anfangs - das weiße Blatt Papier, der Farbfleck, die kalte Tonmasse oder die klaffende Baulücke - war seit Plinius ein zentrales Element des Sprechens über Bilder, und er fand in der Kunsttheorie seine Fortsetzung. Wenn den Dingen allerdings ihre Form entzogen wird, so scheint die Gegenhandlung im Spiel zu sein. Die materialästhetische Debatte des Formlosen steht von Beginn an unter der Bedingung dessen, dass Materie an sich formlos ist. Der vorliegende Band mit Beiträgen international renommierter Wissenschaftler versucht Formwerdung und Formentzug als Vorgänge zu verstehen, die gleichermaßen am Zuge sind, sobald Kunstwerke ihre Wirkmächtigkeit entfalten.
Music and the Making of Middle-Class Culture

It employs a multidisciplinary approach to identify the social processes which formed the cultural configurations and meanings of art.
A Comfortable Alliance
When Will, Earl of Rastleigh meets Helena Swift, he is intrigued by her composure, her kindness and her intelligence. As their friendship develops, he realises he has found his ideal wife, if only he can slip past her guard and overcome her well-known aversion to matrimony. Tempted by the thought of children of her own, and encouraged by her mother to leave the shallows where she has lingered since her fiancé died of the wounds he received at Waterloo, Helena accepts Will's offer of a marriage based not on dangerous love but affectionate companionship and mutual respect. But is this enough? As Will gets to know his wife better, and the secrets of her past unfold, he realises that they have settled for second-best. Can he change the basis of their marriage? Will Helena risk her heart and dare to love again?
