Schmidt's work has always focused on his hometown of Berlin and the book format has always been a fundamental element of his work. One of his most important bodies of work, 'Berlin Nach 1945', has never been published as a whole. He has elaborated a powerful visual record of a city in a state of flux.
Published to accompany the exhibition Michael Schmidt: U-NI-TY at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, January 18 - March 26 1996 and touring (Hannover and Dresden 1996 - 1997).
With contributions from Great Britain, Ireland, America, Canada, Australia, India, and Southern Africa; influenced by great novelists working in other languages; and encompassing a range of genres, the story of the novel in English unfolds like a richly varied landscape that invites exploration rather than a linear journey.
"marrow and lymph"
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist In this stunning volume of epic breadth, Michael Schmidt connects the lives and works of more than 300 poets over the last 700 years--spanning distant shores from Scotland to Australia to the Caribbean, all sharing the English language. Schmidt reveals how each poet has transformed "a common language of poetry" into the rustic rhythms and elegiac ballads, love sonnets, and experimental postmodern verse that make up our lyrical canon. A comprehensive guided tour that is lively and always accessible, Lives of the Poets illuminates our most transcendent literary tradition.
This second volume of Schmidt and van der Walt's two-part history of the non-Marxist, libertarian form of socialism takes a look at anarchism as it has been practised around the world, and indeed how it provides a living political philosophy for a growing number of people across the planet today. The authors offer a comprehensive global history of Anarchist Mass Organisation between 1860 and the 1930s arranged geographically and covering the well-known, like the Spanish Revolution, as well as the lesser documented histories of a worldwide movement.
