ISBN: 9780754603092 / Angielski / Twarda / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written by leading scholars in the field, the essays in this book address the relationships between gender and the built environment, specifically architecture, in early modern Europe.

The fifteen new interdisciplinary essays assembled here read widowhood as a catalyst for the production of a significant body of visual material-representations of, for and by widows, whether through traditional media, such as...

ISBN: 9780754632405 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The essays collected here investigate art made by women in South Africa between 1910, the year of Union, and 1994, the year of the first democratic election.

ISBN: 9780754663270 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offering original analysis of the convergence between 'sacred' and 'secular' in medieval works of art and architecture, this collection explores both the usefulness and limitations of these terms for describing medieval attitudes.

The authors consider medieval material culture from a broad perspective, addressing works of art and architecture from England to Japan, and from the seventh to the fifteenth century. Although the essays take a variety of...
