Die Geschichte eines Findelkindes. Roman
by Henry Fielding, Horst Höckendorf
Gutsherr Allworthy findet einen Säugling und zieht den Jungen an Sohnes Statt auf. Der Findling – Tom Jones – wächst und gedeiht prächtig, in den Augen seines Ziehvaters mitunter sogar etwas zu prächtig. Als sich Tom in die Nachbarstochter verliebt, die Allworthys Neffen versprochen ist, verweist der Gutsherr Tom des Hauses. Der junge Mann macht sich auf nach London, wobei ihn seine Reise quer durchs Land und auch durch sämtliche Schichten der vorviktorianischen Gesellschaft führt. Auf Toms Suche nach sich selbst, seiner Herkunft und vor allem nach der großen Liebe erschließt sich ein wahres Panoptikum des 18. Jahrhunderts.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020Imagining Caribbean womanhood
Race, nation and beauty competitions, 1929–70
by Pamela Sharpe, Rochelle Rowe, Penny Summerfield, Lynn Abrams, Cordelia Beattie
Over fifty years after Jamaican and Trinidadian independence, Imagining Caribbean womanhood examines the links between beauty and politics in the Anglophone Caribbean, providing a first cultural history of Caribbean beauty competitions, spanning from Kingston to London. It traces the origins and transformation of female beauty contests in the British Caribbean from 1929 to 1970, through the development of cultural nationalism, race-conscious politics and decolonisation. The beauty contest, a seemingly marginal phenomenon, is used to illuminate the persistence of racial supremacy, the advance of consumer culture and the negotiation of race and nation through the idealised performance of cultured, modern beauty. Modern Caribbean femininity was intended to be politically functional but also commercially viable and subtly eroticised.

Ein Roman der kulinarischen Abenteuer
by Idwal Jones, Andrea Fischer, Anthony Bourdain
Die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes, der nach Paris kommt und dort leben, lieben und kochen lernt – nur nicht in dieser Reihenfolge. Eigentlich will Jean-Marie zur See fahren. Aber dann improvisiert er für eine englische Baronin eine Mahlzeit. Und die trägt ihm eine Empfehlung an ein altehrwürdiges 3-Sterne-Restaurant in Paris ein. Dort tafeln Aristokratinnen und Anarchisten, große und kleine Ganoven, Mätressen und Maharadschas. Noch interessanter geht es aber in der Küche zu – hier begegnet Jean-Marie der wahren Liebe seines Lebens. Folgen Sie Idwal Jones ins Paris der 30er Jahre, köstlich und leicht wie ein Soufflé, lebensklug und witzig wie ein Tischnachbar im Paradies. »Ein bezaubernder Roman über die wirklich wichtigen Dinge im Leben: Liebe, Freunde, Schokolade.« Denis Scheck

The ArtsJune 2022Transmodern
An art history of contact, 1920–60
by Christian Kravagna, Marsha Meskimmon, Amelia Jones,
How can we reconfigure our picture of modern art after the postcolonial turn without simply adding regional art histories to the Eurocentric canon? Transmodern examines the global dimension of modern art by tracing the crossroads of different modernisms in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Featuring case studies in Indian modernism, the Harlem Renaissance and post-war abstraction, it demonstrates the significance of transcultural contacts between artists from both sides of the colonial divide. The book argues for the need to study non-western avant-gardes and Black avant-gardes within the west as transmodern counter-currents to mainstream modernism. It situates transcultural art practices from the 1920s to the 1960s within the framework of anti-colonial movements and in relation to contemporary transcultural thinking that challenged colonial concepts of race and culture with notions of syncretism and hybridity.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureSeptember 2024The Simons of Manchester
How one family shaped a city and a nation
by Martin Dodge, John Ayshford, Diana Leitch, Stuart Jones, Janet Wolff
The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

Exhibition catalogues & specific collectionsMarch 2011Mary Kelly
Projects, 1973–2010
by Edited by Dominique Heyes-Moore
Mary Kelly, we are told, was not a feminist artist, but a feminist who made art. Designed to accompany a major retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, this book contains essays and interviews which show the implications of that distinction and also the legacy of feminists and feminism in relation to art. Challenging and beautiful, Kelly's artworks address questions of sexuality, identity and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. The works are agilely discussed in contributions by some of the luminary feminist art scholars of our time, including Janet Wolff, Laura Mulvey, Carol Mavor and Amelia Jones, making this collection an essential new text in the discourse on art, feminism, psychoanalysis and representation.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024Shakespeare's borrowed feathers
How early modern playwrights shaped the world's greatest writer
by Darren Freebury-Jones
A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare's beloved plays. Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.
