Portraits of Medieval Europe, 800–1400
Author: Christian Raffensperger
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003847587
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This volume provides a collection of ‘imagined lives’ – individuals who, no matter their position on the social hierarchy, were crucial to the development of medieval Europe and the modern period that followed. Based on primary source materials and the latest historical research, these literary accounts of otherwise unsourced or under-sourced individuals are written by leading scholars in the field. The book’s approach transcends the limitations of both historical narrative and literary fiction, offering a research-informed presentation of real people that is enriched by informed speculation and creative storytelling. This enriched presentation of the lives of these individuals offers the quickest route to understanding medieval culture, society, and intellectual thought. Crucially, the book treats the whole of Europe, broadly defined: both conventional areas of study such as England and France, and also lesser studied but no less important areas such as eastern Europe, Iberia, and the Balkans. The reader of Portraits of Medieval Europe encounters the diversity present in the European past: the resulting portraits – unique, personal, and engaging – offer not only a wide geographical scope but also perspective on the formation of European society in its fullest form. This book is accessible and engaging for students new to medieval history as well as those wishing to expand their knowledge of medieval society.

Intimate Landscapes
Author: Eliot Porter
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0870992090
Category : Landscape photography
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Intimate Landscapes, an exhibition of fifty-five color photographs by Eliot Porter, is the first one-man exhibition of color photographs ever presented at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Works by Eliot Porter entered the Museum's collection as far back as 1949, when Georgia O'Keeffe presented from the Estate of Alfred Stieglitz an important collection of photographs assembled by Stieglitz himself. This collection included three early black and white prints by Eliot Porter, one of which is reproduced in this catalogue. All the photographs in the present exhibition brilliantly reflect the standards of excellence that are Eliot Porter's greatest contribution to the field of color photography. Upon seeing these photographs, the viewer is immediately struck by the artist's distinctly individual and intimate interpretation of the natural world.

Gower Peninsula
Author: Clare Gogerty
Publisher: History Press
ISBN: 9781843595656
Category : Gower (Wales)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From Rhossili's seemingly unending stretch of sand to the wilderness of Cwm Ivy; few places are as unspoilt and lovely as the Gower Peninsula. It's certainly not hard to see why this varied landscape, tucked away on the South Wales coast, was the first place in the UK to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This guidebook takes an in-depth look at key areas of the Peninsula, including their history and wildlife. Discover caves that were home to Prehistoric people and smugglers' haunts; where to find otters, wading birds and rare plants; and how the writer Dylan Thomas once got stranded on Worms Head overnight. Seven walks with step-by-step instructions, ranging from gentle 1-mile wanders to longer, more challenging excursions, are the perfect way to get to know the Peninsula by foot, while a fold-out Spotter's Guide helps identify species you'll spot here, including birds, butterflies and plants.
