Classical Culture and the Idea of Rome in Eighteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9780521105798 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is the first to look at the aristocratic adoption of Roman ideals in eighteenth-century English culture. In the century following the Revolution of 1688, the ruling class promoted--by way of its patronage--a classical frame of mind embracing all the arts, on the foundations of "liberty" and "civic virtue." Ayres' study shows that the propensity to adopt the self image of virtuous Romans was the attempt of a newly empowered oligarchy to dignify and vindicate itself by association with an idealized image of Republican Rome.

Sejanus, His Fall
ISBN: 9780719057021 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This edition of Jonson's great Roman tragedy is more intensively researched than any that has previously appeared. The text is based on extensive collation of the 1605 and 1616 versions and takes the earlier version as "copy-text." The introduction offers a radically new assessment of Jonson's "historiography" and his treatment of sources. It provides an explanation for the charge of treason leveled at Jonson over Sejanus and for which he had to answer to the Privy Council. Explanatory notes to the text provide much new information to facilitate a properly informed reading of the play.

Persistent Modelling : Extending the Role of Architectural Representation
ISBN: 9780415594066 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reconsiders the relationship between architectural representation and architectural artefact particularly in the fields of responsive and adaptive architectures. The notion of the Persistent Model reconfigures this predominantly linear relationship into one that is circular, such that the ideal (representation) is tempered by the actual (built) to become both a record and the ground for iteration and transformation. The book: defines, frames and grounds the notion of the persistent model and the activity of persistent modelling identifies and reports upon significant shifts in...
