Avec ses couleurs vibrantes et lumineuses et ses textures variées, ses meubles simples peints à la main, ses canapés et ses fauteuils confortables, la ferme que Tricia Guild a restaurée en Toscane constitue une référence pour la décoration des années 1990. Nous sommes loin du style recherché et artificiel des années 1980 : voici une nouvelle conception de la décoration, plus détendue, qui peut se traduire par les expressions "Nature", "Liberté", "Sobriété", "Couleur" et, surtout, "Plaisir". Ce nouveau livre enthousiasmant, dont on doit les images à Gilles de Chaboneix, montrera au lecteur que la décoration moderne est un état d'esprit, une façon d'être à l'écoute du tem...

This book considers indigenous-language translations of Romantic texts in the British colonies. It argues that these translations uncover a latent discourse around colonisation in the original English texts. Focusing on poems by William Wordsworth, John Keats, Felicia Hemans, and Robert Burns, and on Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, it provides the first scholarly insight into the reception of major Romantic authors in indigenous languages, and makes a major contribution to the study of global Romanticism and its colonial heritage. The book demonstrates the ways in which colonial controversies around prayer, song, hospitality, naming, mapping, architecture, and medicine are drawn out by translators to make connections between Romantic literature, its preoccupations, and debates in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial worlds.
This accessible collection of essays provides an essential introduction to the volume of poetry that defined British Romanticism.

Striving for the ‘fulfilment of the divine order’, the Kaingārara movement initiated...
