The Pathetick Musician: Moving an Audience in the Age of Eloquence by Bruce Haynes, Geoffrey Burgess English | April 8, 2016 | ISBN: 0199373736 | True EPUB | 360 pages | 27.98 MB What is rhetorical music? In The Pathetick Musician, Bruce Haynes and Geoffrey Burgess illustrate the vital place of rhetoric and eloquent expression in the creation and performance of Baroque music. Through engaging explorations of the cantatas of J.S. Bach, the authors explode the conventional notion of historical authenticity in music, proposing adventurous new directions to reinvigorate the performance of early music in the modern setting. Along the way, Haynes and Burgess investigate intersections between music and oratory, dance, gesture, poetry, painting and sculpture, and offer insights into figural elaboration, articulation, nuance and temporality. Aimed primarily at performers of Baroque music, the book situates the study of performance practice in a broader cultural context, and as much as an invaluable resource for advanced study, it contains a wealth of information that pertains directly to anyone working in the field of early music.  The Origins of Dislike by Amit Chaudhuri English | September 1, 2018 | ISBN: 0198793820 | True EPUB | 352 pages | 3.2 MB In this wonderfully rich and diverse collection of essays, Amit Chaudhuri explores the way in which writers understand and promote their own work in antithesis to writers and movements that have gone before. Chaudhuri's criticism disproves and questions several assumptions that a serious and original artist cannot think critically in a way that matters; that criticism can't be imaginative, and creative work contain radical argumentation; that a writer reflecting on their own position and practice cannot be more than a testimony of their work, but open up how we think of literary history and reading.  Mark Wahlgren Summers, "The Ordeal of the Reunion: A New History of Reconstruction " English | ISBN: 1469617579 | 2014 | 517 pages | EPUB | 4 MB For a generation, scholarship on the Reconstruction era has rightly focused on the struggles of the recently emancipated for a meaningful freedom and defined its success or failure largely in those terms. In The Ordeal of the Reunion, Mark Wahlgren Summers goes beyond this vitally important question, focusing on Reconstruction's need to form an enduring Union without sacrificing the framework of federalism and republican democracy. Assessing the era nationally, Summers emphasizes the variety of conservative strains that confined the scope of change, highlights the war's impact and its aftermath, and brings the West and foreign policy into an integrated narrative. In sum, this book offers a fresh explanation for Reconstruction's demise and a case for its essential successes as well as its great failures. Indeed, this book demonstrates the extent to which the victors' aims in 1865 were met-and at what cost.  The Northern Dawn. A History of the Reawakening of the Germanic Spirit. Volume I. From the Twilight of the Gods to the Sun at Midnight By Stephen E Flowers 2011 | 164 Pages | ISBN: 1885972229 | PDF | 42 MB The Northern Dawn: A History of the Reawakening of the Germanic Spirit vol I Great ideas are marked by their persistence over time. Many such ideas are perennial aspects of Germanic culture that deep-culture which gave rise to the English, Scandinavian as well as German nations. Such ideas have continually remanifested themselves when called upon to renew and inspire the world to which they belong. The Northern Dawn is a history of the persistent reemergence of these ideas despite continuous anti-cultural efforts to destroy them by adherents of medieval and modernistic repression. These concepts include personal freedom and responsibility, tribal solidarity, heroic virtues, and the search for the mysterious both out in the world and within the human soul. At this point in time no culture is perhaps more misunderstood than the Germanic one. Yet this is the culture which lies at the very root of the dominant "western" world today. Much of the disfunction in the modern world can be traced to misunderstanding and misuse of the cultural root upon which it is based. A new look at this foundation and the historical trials and tribulations it has underdone will lead to a greater understanding of our world today. Additionally, we trust that this understanding will lead to a new dimension in cultural healing as the light of the northern dawn breaks once more to illuminate our sleepy minds. Covered in this volume are the basic authentic cultural values and defini tions of essential theoretical terms, the history of Christianization of the Germanic tribes, and the preservation of cultural features in the Middle Ages throughout the Germanic world. As a consistent feature of the volumes in this series, a full spectrum of cultural aspects are systematically treated: law and politics, literature, religion and myth, language, as well as material culture. This volume of The Northern Dawn is the first in a projected three volume series. These volumes will put into intellectual and historical perspective the age-old struggle to reawaken perennial Germanic and Indo-European values.  The Nervous Stage: Nineteenth-century Neuroscience and the Birth of Modern Theatre by Matthew Wilson Smith English | November 1, 2017 | ISBN: 0190644087 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 2.9 MB Nineteenth-century investigations into the nervous system produced extraordinary discoveries that changed ways of thinking far beyond the scientific community. Over the course of the century, scientists began to conceive of the subject not principally as soul, mind, or even brain, but instead as a complex of organically interacting mechanisms, many of them operating more or less autonomously and unconsciously. Meanwhile, theatrical works of the time by Shelley, Wagner, Dickens, Buchner, Zola, and Strindberg, sought to play directly on the nerves of the spectators through non-representational means, comprising a coherent genre Matthew Wilson Smith has dubbed the "theaters of sensation."  David Jablonsky, "The Nazi Party in Dissolution: Hitler and the Verbotzeit 1923-25 " English | ISBN: 0714633224 | 2004 | 248 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This book examines the effect the Verbotzeit had on the leadership structure and on the consequent position of the party within the völkisch movement. Looking primarily at Bavaria and North Germany it examines the failed attempts that were made to prevent Hitler from filling the leadership void within both the NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers' Party) and the völkisch movement.  R.W. Thompson, "The Montgomery Legend " English | ISBN: 1032045345 | 2021 | 272 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This book, first published in 1967, examines the foundations and the substance of the Montgomery Legend. His appearance upon the scene in the Western Desert coincided with a change in warfare as 'ironmongery replaced generalship', as General Fuller observed, and with Montgomery's victories came a British need for a Champion for all to see. The public needed a Hero as Britain's time on the ropes ended, and it was also politically necessary, lest Britain be swamped by the power of its allies.  Andrew Whitehead, "The Lives of Freda: The Political, Spiritual and Personal Journeys of Freda Bedi" English | 2019 | pages: 357 | ISBN: 9388070755 | PDF | 3,7 mb From the moment she married a handsome young Sikh at a registry office in Oxford in 1933, Freda Bedi, nee Houlston, regarded herself as Indian, even though it was another year before she set foot in the country. She was English by birth and upbringing - and Indian by marriage, cultural affinity and political loyalty. Later, she travelled the world as a revered Buddhist teacher, but India would remain her home to the end.  The Little Black Book Of Martial Arts Sparring: Critical Skills And Strategies Every Martial Artist Needs To Know by Jonathan Field English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B8KZGM5M | 230 pages | EPUB | 0.37 Mb The Secrets Of How You Can Improve Sparring and Gain The Ability To Score Points On Your Sparring Partner Using The Strategies You Learn In Training in As Little As One Sparring Session  Hugh Tours, "The Life and Letters of Emma Hamilton: The Story of Admiral Nelson and the Most Famous Woman of the Georgian Age" English | ISBN: 1526770431 | 2020 | 232 pages | EPUB | 4 MB Emma, Lady Hamilton, rose from poverty to become a media celebrity, and her relationship with Admiral Nelson, and her renowned beauty, made her the most instantly recognizable woman of her era, with the press following her every move. She was a friend of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples, longed-after by the Prince of Wales, and was a high society fashion icon. |
