The Life and Work of Richard Negri
This book records the design work and ephemera that survived in Richard Negri's personal archive, discovered in a large cardboard box found after his death in 1999. Richly illustrated (and published for the first time) with more than 300 high quality reproductions, a majority of which are full colour, the book also includes additional production photographs that reveal the link between the designs and their realisation, many of which were discovered in the Mander and Mitcheson and Victoria and Albert Museum's theatre collections.A series of interviews were conducted with some of Negri's key colleagues and collaborators: actor Bernard Cribbins, director Frank Dunlop, composer George Hall, playwright Ronald Harwood and lighting designer Richard Pilbrow. Full recordings are now held in the British Library.Transcripts of excerpts from those interviews, (together with some of the author's own with the designer Johanna Bryant, actress Avril Elgar, lighting designer/production manager Michael Williams and the Negri family) are threaded through and underpin the book's narrative.

Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England
Discussion of display through a range of artefacts and in a variety of contexts: family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display and do so in a waywhich avoids jargon and overly technical language. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The media include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins. Contributors: MAURICE KEEN, DAVID CROUCH, PETER COSS, CAROLINE SHENTON, ADRIAN AILES, FRÉDÉRIQUE LACHAUD, MARIAN CAMPBELL, BRIAN and MOIRA GITTOS, NIGEL SAUL, FIONN PILBROW, CAROLINE BARRON and JOHN WATTS.
