Illuminating women in the medieval world / by Sciacca, Christine,1976-author.(CARDINAL)315553; J. Paul Getty Museum,issuing body.(CARDINAL)140825;
Medieval ideals of womanhood -- Warnings to medieval women -- Medieval women in daily life -- Medieval women in the arts."When one thinks of women in the Middle Ages, the images that often come to mind are those of damsels in distress, mystics in convents, female laborers in the field, and even women of ill repute. In reality, however, medieval conceptions of womanhood were multifaceted, and women's roles were varied and nuanced. Female stereotypes existed in the medieval world, but so too did women of power and influence. The pages of illuminated manuscripts reveal to us the many facets of medieval womanhood and slices of medieval life--from preoccupations with biblical heroines and saints to courtship, childbirth, and motherhood. While men dominated artistic production, this volume demonstrates the ways in which female artists, authors, and patrons were instrumental in the creation of illuminated manuscripts."--

'News from Nowhere' : the Kelmscott Press, 1890-1893 ; Last years, 1894-1896.On May 24, 1834, was born one of the most influential, enigmatic and memorable of Victorians: William Morris, poet, designer, socialist. Considered so much a part of Victorian life, only now are his genius and vision finding fulfillment in our own turbulent era. As Allan Temko observes in his Foreword, "It has been in America that his vision of a new physical order of civilization has come closest to fulfillment." Here, in his long-awaited, definitive biography, the editor of the Morris family letters presents the first full-length portrait of Morris since Mackail's heavily censored "official" biography of 1899. Historian and critic Philip Henderson is the first to make full use of much new material only recently made available. At Oxford, Morris, the son of a successful Welsh businessman, met the highly talented group that were to become lifelong friends and collaborators: Edward Burne-Jones, Cormell Price, Charles Faulkner, Philip Webb. It was in the medieval town of Oxford, too, that Morris developed two of the devotions that were to dominate his life: passionate commitment to the social and artistic ideals he saw in medieval culture, and friendship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was to be mentor, rival and--ultimately--bête noire. Henderson traces Morris' development from those early, colorful, brightly optimistic days into the extraordinary later years--when he was "working" poet, architect, decorator, fabric designer, weaver, dyer, embroiderer, and printer, the guiding spirit of "The Firm" of Morris and his associates, as well as passionate political activist, lecturer, and conservationist. He was one of the most influential men in England in both the arts and politics--truly, as Wylie Sypher has called him, "the Leonardo of the Victorians." Henderson at last explains the riddle of Morris' tragic marriage, separating the private torment from the confused public image. He also reveals in rich detail how William Morris carved out his important place in history, through an astonishing variety of accomplishments. The reader--even one well acquainted with Morris' work-- may be surprised to discover just how much Morris has contributed, for here at last, as Temko observes, emerges "a protean figure ... rising from the sea of Victorian confusion to confront our disruptive age, [which] Morris foretold with particular relevance for contemporary America." --Adapted from dust jacket.
