During the following generation a mass reading public emerged, and the term best-seller was coined. In new and cheap editions Dickens's stories sold hugely, but these were progressivelyoutstripped in quantity by the likes of Hall Caine and Marie Corelli, Charles Garvice and Nat Gould. Who has now heard of these writers Yet Hall Caine, for one, boasted of having made more money from his pen than any previous author. This book presents a panoramic view of literary life in Britain over half a century from 1870 to 1914, teasing out authors' relations with the reading public and tracing how reputations were made and unmade. It surveys readers' habits, the book trade, popular literary magazines and the role ofreviewers, and examines the construction of a classical canon by critics concerned about the supposed corruption of popular taste. Certain writers were elevated as national heroes, yet Britain drew its writers from abroad as well as from home. Authors became stars and celebrities, and a literary tourism grew around their haunts. They advertised products from cigarettes to toothpaste; they were fashion-conscious and promoted themselves via profiles, interviews, and carefully posed photographs; they went on lecture tours to America; andtheir names were pushed by a new professional breed: the literary agent. Some angled for knighthoods, even peerages, and cut a figure in high society and London clubland. They debated public issues of the day and campaigned on all manner of things from questions of faith and women's rights tocensorship and conscription. During theGreat War they penned propaganda.

Prague : Mojmír Urbánek, [1904]. Postcard, 91 x 141 mm; on the left side of therecto is a photomechanical process portrait of ?ev?ík from a photograph by V. Donát, with a printed caption 'PROF. OT. ?EV?ÍK' at top centre; the right side is occupied by an autograph note by ?ev?ík written in German in pen, headed 'Prag 24.IV.04', thanking the correspondent (H. Nevill-Smith, a music critic and magazine editor) for sending his recently published article on ?ev?ík's Prague music school, and saying that he would like to meet him when he comes to Prague: 'Sehr geehrter Mr. Smith, Ich danke Ihnen für Ihren freundlichen Brief, sowie für die Zusendung Ihres schönen Aufsatzes über meine Schule in der "German Times" und es wird mich freuen, bei Ihrer Ankunft in Prag Ihre Bekanntschaft zu machen. Ihr ergebener [usw.] Prof. Ot. ?ev?ík'; the versois addressed 'Herrn. H. Nevill-Smith, Herausgeber der "Musical German Times", Berlin W. Alvenslebenstr. 13, Deutschland'; mailed from Prague on the 24 April and with a Berlin arrival postmark dated the following day; the postcard is in fine condition, the only minor blemishes being the ink from the postmark on ?ev?ík's portrait and a residual narrow strip of tape at one edge verso where the card was once lightly mounted in an album. A rare piece of signed ephemera by one of the most significant figures in the history of the violin. The following essay on Otokar ?ev?ík by Sasha Margolis is from theMay-June 2020 issueofStrings magazine: 'Through much of the 19th century, virtuosos of theviolinwere expected to be masters of style, showmanship, and communication. But they were not always paragons of precision. Solo literature of the era required frequent high-velocity trips from one end of the fingerboard to the other. If a stylish arrival entailed losing a few notesen route, it was reckoned a small price to pay. Then, toward century?s end, precision came into fashion. This was thanks in part to Spanish virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate, of whom the younger Belgian virtuoso Eugène Ysaÿe said, ?It is he who taught us to play exactly.? But perhaps still more influential was the Czech pedagogue Otakar ?ev?ík (1852?1934), who literally taught exactitude to his more than 5,000 pupils, including such players as Jan Kubelik (recipient of Beatlemania-like adulation around 1900), the belovedErika Morini, Marie Hall (dedicatee ofThe Lark Ascending), Louis Krasner (who commissioned the Berg Concerto), Viennese concertmaster-soloist Wolfgang Schneiderhan, quartet great Rudolf Kolisch, and the ill-fated David Hochstein. As successful as ?ev?ík was as a teacher, what earned him lasting fame were the exercises and studies he composed, works of strange genius born from the confluence of a brilliant analytical mind, an abiding love for the violin, and excruciating nights of pain and insomnia. Born in southern Bohemia of Czech and German parentage, ?ev?ík studied piano and voice before taking up the violin at seven. It was the violin that won his heart. Upon entering the Prague Conservatory, at age 13, he wrote to his father: ?I am devoting myself to the violin . . . and I shall not separate myself from it . . . the violin and I are now one.? After graduation, he held a few brief concertmaster positions in Salzburg, Prague, and Vienna, also earning rave reviews as a soloist. He then moved on to a succession of longer-lasting teaching posts in Kiev, Prague, Vienna, and at his own violin colony in the Bohemian town of Písek. (He taught additionally in Salzburg, London, Boston, New York, Chicago, and at Ithaca College.) As a teacher, ?ev?ík was a revolutionary. ?Imagine,? says Endre Granat, who has intensively researched the Czech master?s life and works, ?at a time when people werekind ofin tune andkind ofplaying all the notes in a run, he insisted that every note should be played, and should be played cleanly. That was a totally novel idea!? But ?ev?ík didn?t just demand cleanliness. He provided the means, believing that ?a student no matter how gifted must be shown how to work.? In the words of one student, he taught how ?to practice each measure separately backwards and forwards with all possible combinations and permutations of rhythm, fingering, and bowing.? In this way, ?ev?ík seems to have been able to turn any average talent into a proficient violinist. This was the main ingredient in his mystique?along with his generosity to needy students, his absentmindedness, the 150 cigarettes he smoked each day, the early morning walks (which he ended by waking students up to practice), and the giant piles of cash (payments for lessons), which he could never keep track of, that accumulated on his piano. In addition, there was the rumor about the master?s missing left eye?namely, that he had lost it to a breaking E-string. The truth was otherwise. During ?ev?ík?s first long teaching stint in Kiev in the 1870s, he began to suffer from terrible aching in this eye. The pain impeded his performing and interfered with his sleep. To distract himself, after days of teaching, he began to spend nights writing violin studies. ?As a flagellant wounds his body to heal his mind,? he later said, ?so I, inversely, tortured my brain to cure my body.? In 1894, the eye was enucleated?that is, the eyeball was removed?a procedure that gave him so much relief that he described it as a cure. ?ev?ík had a passion for violin technique, saying that ?real technique in the truest sense of the word must pulsate, like tone, with life.? Pain and passion together produced two large works prior to the eye operation. Opus 1 includes four volumes for the left hand, the first exploring every conceivable first-position intervallic pattern, scale, arpeggio, and double- stop pattern, with the other three taking similarly exhaustive approaches to the higher positions, full-range scales and arpeggios, and full-range double-stops. Opus 2 includes six volumes for the bow arm, addressing bow division, rhythmic and slurring patterns, and.

Rilegato. Condition: nuovo. Ben Jervis, Lee G. Broderick, Idoia Grau-Sologestoa (eds). Pages: xii + 313 p. Illustrations:65 b/w, 20 tables b/w. Language(s):English. Publication Year:2016. Brepols. ISBN: 978-2-503-55503-4. Hardback -- SUMMARY Artefacts and environmental remains are abundant from archaeological excavations across Europe, but until now they have most commonly been used to accompany broader narratives built on historical sources and studies of topography and buildings, rather than being studied as important evidence in their own right. The papers in this volume aim to redress the balance by taking an environmental and artefact-based approach to life in medieval Europe. The contributions included here address central themes such as urban identities, the nature of towns and their relationship with their hinterlands, provisioning processes, and the role of ritual and religion in everyday life. Case studies from across Europe encourage a comparative approach between town and country, and provide a pan-European perspective to current debates. The volume is divided into four key parts: an exploration of the processes of provisioning; an assessment of the dynamics of urban population; an examination of domestic life; and a discussion of the status quaestionis and future potential of urban environmental archaeology. Together, these sections make a significant contribution to medieval archaeology and offer new and unique insights into the conditions of everyday life in medieval Europe.

Fourdrinier & Co, at Charing Cross Jan. 1761 Price 2s".In the forty years prior to the publication of this map Sir Christopher Wren had been surveyor of the area around Westminster Abbey and had undertaken restoration work, while his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor designed the West Towers. The layout of individual piers in Westminster Abbey is shown.The Life, Times and Work of Paul Fourdrinier :Paul was born in Amsterdam on New Year's Eve 1698. His father was Jacques Fourdrinier and his mother was Jeanne Theroude and both were Huguenots. Jeanne had been deported from France to England in 1688 and we do not know how she met Jacques or got to The Netherlands, but there was a Pierre Fourdrinier deported to England at the same time as the Theroudes. Paul Fourdrinier was apprenticed to Bernard Picart, one of the greatest engravers of his age, about 1714 and then emigrated to London with his parents and brother Benjamin in 1720.His apprenticeship had stood him in good stead as he was immediately commissioned by Jacob Tonson, a prominent publisher, to develop about 100 engravings for John Dryden's Works of Virgil.From here he went on to work on Milton's Paradise Lost, and then fell in with the 3rd Earl of Burlington and his close associates William Kent and Isaac Ware. These were the leading advocates for Palladian Neoclassical architecture, a movement which superceded the Baroque and earlier styles and influenced many public buildings in the UK, France and the USA. Burlington was wealthy and spent liberally on his crusade to bring Neoclassical design into England. He published and supported a number of important books, most of which were illustrated by Paul Fourdrinier.Paul had married Susanna Grolleau, the daughter of a Cloth Dealer who had migrated to England from France around 1680 and who in 1686 married Marie Dufay, another deportee who came to England in probably the same ship as Jeanne Theroude. . Paul and Susanna had eight children of whom three died fairly young. He set up shop in 1731 on the corner of Craig's Court and Whitehall in London; this shop continued in the family until about 1810. One of his grandchildren was the mother of Henry Cardinal Newman and two of his grandchildren became famous for developing the Fourdrinier Paper Making machine. .Paul's printmaking career involved him in the building of the first Westminster Bridge, Houghton Hall, the splendid Palladian home of Robert Walpole, England's first Prime Minister, the Georgian City of Bath, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Foundling Hospital and many more great projects of the century.He died in 1758 and is buried with his wife and some of his children in the Grolleau family grave in the Huguenot Cemetery in Wandsworth, a London suburb.
