Self Help
ISBN: 9781438530260 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A bestseller immediately after its publication in 1859, Self-Help propelled its author to fame and rapidly became one of Victorian Britain's most important statements on the allied virtues of hard work, thrift, and perseverance. Interpreted by some as a paean to personal avarice, Smiles's most celebrated book is in fact a practical and engaging tribute to the working- and lower-middle classes, in whom he identified the capacity for self-improvement and for whom he tirelessly advocated the right of social advancement. Part practical guide, part proverbial testament, part secular hagiography,...

The Image of Antiquity: Ancient Britain and the Romantic Imagination
ISBN: 9780300058147 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How was the remote past of Britain imagined in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? What part did the visual arts play in that process? In this book Sam Smiles argues that the ancient Britain of the romantic imagination was a contested world, variously seen as a noble epoch of wisdom and patriotism and as a period of unredeemed savagery and barbarism. The arts, says Smiles, not only reflected these historical debates but actively contributed to them by attempting to bring the archaic past to life.
Smiles examines the interplay of antiquarian research, historiography, and the visual... How was the remote past of Britain imagined in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? What part did the visual arts play in that process? In this bo...

J. M. W. Turner: The Making of a Modern Artist
ISBN: 9780719077081 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a...
