Word and Image. Art, Books and Design from the National Art Libra / Art, Books and Design: From the National Art Library. — Rowan Watson / Elizabeth James / Julius Bryant

Word and Image. Art, Books and Design from the National Art Libra / Art, Books and Design: From the National Art Library.

Rowan Watson / Elizabeth James / Julius Bryant
V & A Publishing
2015, 176pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"This unique history brings together more than 150 spectacular objects from the National Art Library's collection of literature, prints, drawings and photographs. Housed within the V&A, the library was, from the beginning, an integral part of the Museum, formed by, and for, artists and designers as an essential element of the educational and museological project of Prince Albert and Henry Cole after the Great Exhibition of 1851. Word & Image shows how the distinct character of the NAL was formed, and how its collections created a new kind of bibliographical resource. From a fifteenth-century book of hours to William Morris's specimen pages for Jean Froissart's The Chronicles of Fraunce, Inglande, and Other Places Adjoynynge; from George Cruikshank's studies of Fagin for Oliver Twist to an Yves Saint Laurent design for the House of Dior; and from Bill Brandt's photographs to the Book of Nails by Floating Concrete Octopus, Word & Image explores some of the finest examples of 'book art' in existence."

Making Books. Design in British Publishing Since 1945. — BARTRAM, Alan

Making Books. Design in British Publishing Since 1945.

BARTRAM, Alan
Oak Knoll Press - The British Library
1999, 160pp, Illustrated. Paperback. In very good condition.
In this stimulating book Alan Bartram sets the current publishing scene in the context of the best practice of the last fifty years. While emphasising that a satisfying book is the result of teamwork between author, editor, designer and printer, it is mainly concerned with their design. Tschichold, Schmoller and others, in the first twenty-five years of the period examined here, created books which were not only elegant, but had high standards of readability and straightforward communication. Much has changed, but such elementary requirements for good bookmaking are as relevant today as they ever were.

Poets in View. A Visual Anthology of 50 Classic Poems.

EMERY, Chris (edited by)
Salt Publishing
2008, 103pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"Hear the voice of the Bard, Who present, past, and future, sees; Whose ears have heard The Holy Word That walk'd among the ancient trees -William Blake This unique full-colour anthology gathers together for the first time significant portraits of fifty major British and Irish poets from four centuries along with a classic poem by each writer. It ranges chronologically from Sir Thomas Wyatt born in 1503 to Rudyard Kipling born in 1865, and every poem (like every portrait) has been chosen for its insight, importance and beauty, they can all be repeatedly read, perhaps memorized and certainly treasured. Each poet gathered here offers you an intimate view from their time, dealing with love, loss, grief, hope and mortality, which will find echoes and reverberations in your own. This is the power of poetry, the only art which allows us to look into the heart of the past whilst trying to understand the present and imagining our possible futures. From out of our shared literary and visual history, the history of the British Isles and Ireland, our poetry transcends the generations to offer us the guidance of art and the written and visual life of our island nations."

Vijf 5 tigers een bloemlezing uit het werk van Remco Campert, Jan Elburg, Gerrit Kouwenaar, Lucebert, Bert Schierbeek.

Vijf 5 tigers een bloemlezing uit het werk van Remco Campert, Jan Elburg, Gerrit Kouwenaar, Lucebert, Bert Schierbeek.

De Bezige Bij
2000, 100pp. + CD. Linnen. Stofomslag iets beschadigd, verder in goede staat.
"'De poëzie van de Vijftigers, dat is de poëzie van de experimentelen, de zogezegde experimentele poëzie. Niet experimentele poëzie zonder meer, maar 'de' experimentele poëzie. Men verstaat daar een zeer bepaald poëtisch verschijnsel onder, de poëzie van een zeer bepaalde groep jonge dichters'. Dit zijn de openingswoorden van de inleiding die Gerrit Kouwenaar schreef voor de bloemlezing die een van de belangrijkste in de Nederlandse literatuurgeschiedenis zou blijken 'Vijf 5 tigers'. De 'zeer bepaalde groep jonge dichters' bestond uit Remco Campert, Jan Elburg, Gerrit Kouwenaar, Lucebert en Bert Schierboek. Zij waren de voortrekkers van een hele nieuwe generatie dichters en drukten met de publicatie van deze bloemlezing hun stempel op de vaderlandse dichtkunst. Vijf 5tigers kan daarom met recht een monument van de Beweging van Vijftig worden genoemd. Voor deze bijzondere heruitgave van de eerste druk uit 1954 schreef Hans Renders een nawoord en werd een CD samengesteld met voordrachten van Remco Campert, jan Elburg, Gerrit Kouwenaar, Lucebert en Bert Schierbeek."

The Poetry of Emily Dickinson. — DICKINSON, Emily

The Poetry of Emily Dickinson.

DICKINSON, Emily
Canterbury Classics - Word Cloud Classics
2015, 352pp, Paperback. In very good condition.
The Poetry of Emily Dickinson is a collection of pieces by 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson, who insisted that her life of isolation gave her an introspective and deep connection with the world. As a result, her work parallels her life—misunderstood in its time, but full of depth and imagination, and covering such universal themes as nature, art, friendship, love, society, mortality, and more. During Dickinson’s lifetime, only seven of her poems were published, but after her death, her prolific writings were discovered and shared. With this volume, readers can dive into the now widely respected poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Being Alive, the Sequel to Staying Alive.

ASTLEY, Neil
Bloodaxe Books
2004, 512pp, Paperback. In very good condition. Pakketzending.
Being Alive is the sequel to Neil Astley's Staying Alive, which became Britain's most popular poetry book because it gave readers hundreds of thoughtful and passionate poems about living in the modern world. Now he has assembled this equally lively companion anthology for all those readers who've wanted more poems that touch the heart, stir the mind and fire the spirit. Being Alive is about being human about love and loss, fear and longing, hurt and wonder. Staying Alive didn't just reach a broader readership, it introduced thousands of new readers to contemporary poetry, giving them an international gathering of poems of great personal force, poems with emotional power, intellectual edge and playful wit. It also brought many readers back to poetry, people who hadn't read poetry for years because it hadn't held their interest. Being Alive gives readers an even wider selection of vivid, brilliantly diverse contemporary poetry from around the world. Being Alive was followed by a companion anthology, Being Human (2011), and by a fourth volume, Staying Human new poems for Staying Alive (2020). These anthologies have been welcomed not only by poets but by a wide range of well-known people respected for their work in fields other than poetry - all avid readers of poetry. They want to recommend these books above all other anthologies of contemporary poetry.

MULDOON, Paul
Faber & Faber
2016, 240pp, Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"A thrilling new selection of Paul Muldoon's poetry, drawn from over four decades and twelve individual collections. A poet who 'began as a prodigy and has gone on to become a virtuoso' (Michael Hofmann) and hailed by Seamus Heaney as 'one of the era's true originals', Paul Muldoon seems almost to defy definition in his work; nevertheless, this selection, chosen by the poet himself, will serve new readers as an indispensable introduction to his trademark combination of intellectual high jinx and emotional honesty. And for those readers already familiar with his work, the volume provides a panoramic glance across the meteoric career of a poet who performs 'high above the regular traffic of poetry' (Sunday Times)."

Charles Dickens. — JAMES, Elizabeth

Charles Dickens.

JAMES, Elizabeth
Oxford University Press - The British Library Writers' Lives · 0.00
2004, 128pp. Illustrated. Hardcover. 24,5x20,5cm. In very good condition.
"Charles Dickens (1812-70) is probably Britain's best-known and well-loved author. His novels such as Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol and Hard Times have provided generations of readers with a unique insight into the realities of nineteenth-century Victorian society, and his own colourful and turbulent life helped to shape some of his most vibrant scenes and famous characters. His impoverished childhood - dogged by his father's debts and imprisonment in London - and years as a parliamentary journalist and legal clerk, brought Dickens first-hand experience of city life, enabling him to expose its realities, injustices and hardships in works such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and Nicholas Nickleby. Father of ten children, Dickens struggled with an unhappy marriage, but worked prolifically throughout his lifetime to achieve fame and fortune from his writing and editing. He was often disillusioned with society and championed the welfare of the common man through social, education and housing reforms. His reading tours indulged his love of the stage and enabled him personally to reach his audiences, both in Britain and America. Illustrated throughout with letters, manuscripts, engravings and photographs, Elizabeth James's concise biography provides a clear and revealing portrait of a prolific, talented and highly esteemed literary genius."

De sociale pijler. Ambities en praktijken van het grotestedenbeleid (proefschrift). — HOENDERKAMP, Jeroen

De sociale pijler. Ambities en praktijken van het grotestedenbeleid (proefschrift).

HOENDERKAMP, Jeroen
Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau
2008, 376pp. Gebonden. Als nieuw. Pakketzending.
Ondanks een uitgebreide verzorgingsstaat en intensief sociaal beleid kampt Nederland al decennialang met hardnekkige maatschappelijke vraagstukken, met schijnbaar niet in te lopen achterstanden en zelfs met moeilijk uit te roeien misstanden. Er bestaat grote politieke en maatschappelijke concensus over de gebrekkige werking van beleid in de sociale pijler. Deze consensus gaat in het publieke debat vergezeld van kritiek op het optreden van de overheid, dat ineffectief en inefficiënt zou zijn. In dit boek analyseert Jeroen Hoenderkamp de sociale pijler van binnenuit. Hij begint zijn analyse daarbij niet vanuit de vraag wat maatschappelijke wenselijke uitkomsten van het beleid zouden zijn, maar hoe de praktijk van de actoren die op lokaal niveau in de sociale pijler opereren er uit ziet en wat ze daar kunnen betekenen. De analyse verbindt hij met academische inzichten uit de maatschappij- en bestuurswetenschappen. Dit boek laat zien dat het impliciete perspectief dat bijna alle deelnemers aan het debat over de sociale pijler hanteren veel te optimistisch is over de mogelijkheden voor het voeren van effectief ociaal beleid. Hierdoor worden in het debat de effecten van de inspanningen van lokale overheden gecontrasteerd met irrealistische ideeën over hoe het allemaal zou kunnen en moeten. Als niet wordt opgepast, worden zo beleidspraktijken die naar behoren functioneren keer op keer geconfronteerd met politiek geïnspireerde maar praktisch onwaarschijnlijke en daardoor improductieve hervormingsagenda's.
