Product Description
Beauty and the Book is a cultural history of the craze for fine books which began after WWI and ended with the Depression. Benton begins by describing the massive public demand for fine editions, and the anxieties about class, literacy and culture which this craze reflected. She goes on to tell the stories of a range of publishers (from Bennet Cerf at Random House to owners of small, private presses) who catered to this demand by producing absurdly expensive editions, whose prices were justified both by the materials used (vellum, gold leaf, etc.) and the labor intensive processes by which they were created. Ostensibly, these limited editions were an antidote to the rise of mass literacy, and the consequent decline in literary taste. Unlike cheap romances and magazines, these limited editions (usually of classic works) embodied a pre-industrial ideal of "high" culture.Using fine editions as a jumping off point, Benton highlights the many aspirations and investments that swirl around book reading and book buying. Particularly at time in which the book as physical object is being challenged by new technologies, Beauty and the Book describes an extreme version of the materialistic concerns and attachments that are always one aspect ofbook buying and reading. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars essential reading
This is a very well-written account of the fine and private press in the United States, including accounts of the Limited Editions Club and Bruce Rogers and all those people. It attacks the self-indulgence, or at least exposes, of the era. I am more and more convinced that Bruce Rogers simply did not know what he was doing except for a few instances. His work is devoid of character and completely lacking in the intelligent use of white space. The same must be said for Dwiggins' misguided attempt at a title page for H. G. Wells' The Time Machine, which is a disaster in my view. The only people that look interesting here is the Black Sun Press. A good read all in all, makes you think, made my change my assumptions about a lot of things. She exposes the fact that most of these books were machine printed, machine bound, on machine made paper.

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and involving -- a bibliophile's pleasure.
This cultural history of post-World War I publishing and fine editions provides a narrower focus than most books on publishing, considering how deluxe editions evolved, how publishers came to specialize in the limitededition book market, and how their personalities influenced theircreations. Any bibliophile will find this outstanding and involving. ... Read more

Product Description
The Fine Rolls were the earliest rolls kept by the English royal chancery. Recording offers of money to the king for all manner of concessions and favours, they are central to the study of political, governmental, legal, social and economic history. The reign of Henry III (1216-1272) is a particularly rich period for surviving documents; there are some 56 rolls preserved in the National Archives, one for each regnal year. However, despite the light they shed on politics, government, and society, they have never previously been properly edited or published, and these fully-indexed volumes - covering the period up to 1248 - will therefore be widely welcomed. The Latin rolls are presented in English translation, with all identifiable place-names modernised, although the original forms are preserved; and each volume includes full person, place and subject indexes. This second volume covers as important and dramatic a period of English history as does the first. The years between 1224 and 1234 witnessed the issue of the final and definitive version of Magna Carta, the ending of the king's minority, his French campaign of 1230, the fall of the justiciar, Hubert de Burgh in 1232, the subsequent regime of Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, the civil war which followed Peter's apparent defiance of Magna Carta, and finally in 1234 the restoration of lawful consensual rule. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Hegel sees art as cultural phenomena that has deep significance for understanding reality
I read this book for a graduate seminar on the philosophy of art.Henry paolucci's book "Hegel On The Arts," is a great way to learn about G. W. F. Hegel's ideas on how art, religion, and philosophy interact and should not be seen as sharp divisions of thought.

It is important to note that the Germans look on art as more than art.They look on art as cultural phenomena that has deep significance for understanding reality and not just to study experiences and such.Hegel is reacting to the modern model of aesthetics and the expression theory of Kant.Hegel looks on art as a fundamental development of the "spirit" spirit meaning thought culture and so on.Hegel had this relation between art, religion, and philosophy by religion he means a more developed religion that has more of an element of thought in it and how it talks about the nature of the world and the creation and purpose of the world.However, art in terms of poetry and the visual arts Hegel thinks is the first form that spirit takes as a sensuous form.The idea of a sensuous medium seems to be a necessary condition, in that art is fashioned in its own kind of material into a product that communicates something.Hegel says forms of art in history come before developed systems like religion and philosophy.By that, he means the human spirit is evolving and that the first forms indicate the representing of ideas and spiritual notions of sensuous forms.He does not at all hold to the idea that art is simply the expressions of subjective faculties.Hegel thinks of art as a manifestation of elements of reality, but in an early form.This is Hegel's developmental theory that spirit progresses.Organized religion expands to getting into philosophy that gets much closer to the truth by being more conceptual and theoretical.

The important influence Hegel had is on the overall theory of Greek tragedy as an avenue to thought and not just tragedy.For example, throughout my years of studying the play "Antigone," I have been impressed by learning the fact that between Aristotle and Freud critics, philosophers and scholars have written so much about the play.There can be no doubt this is due to the fact as I have discovered "Antigone" was so successful at providing a lens for one to "see," and thus understand the essence of human life with all its tragic pitfalls.In particular, Hegel spent a considerable amount of time gleaning lessons from "Antigone"that have helped me to use it as a lens to "see" more clearly how humans have to question and ultimately choose between competing moral choices.

According to Hegel's account of Greek tragedy, Hegel did not view Greek tragedy as a collision between good and evil, but between competing goods.In addition, Hegel proposes in his interpretation of Greek tragedy, that the sufferings of the tragic hero are merely the means of reconciling the opposing moral goods--between two entirely ethical worlds that clash and cannot come together.Both Antigone and Creon have a moral vision or belief that they are destined to follow, which is the one-sidedness of their moral vision that clashes with the one-sidedness of the other character's moral vision.Both sides of contradiction are justified.Hegel finds that it is the conflict of irreconcilable yet justifiable moral worlds that will lead to the tragic death of the hero in Greek tragedy.This is an important point that Hegel makes, because I have found throughout my life that like Antigone, rarely am I given the opportunity to choose between good and evil.Usually I have been faced with the tougher moral choice of having to choose between moral goods.This is a great book that explores Hegel's philosophical writings, which opens up the world disclosiveness of Greek tragedy and the lessons they can still teach us today.

I recommend this work for anyone interested in philosophy, philosophy of art, Greek culture, and Greek tragedy.
