Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2013Culture in Manchester
Institutions and urban change since 1850
by Janet Wolff
This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. ;

Experiments in cultural criticism
by Jackie Stacey, Janet Wolff
Writing otherwise is a collection of essays by established feminist and cultural critics interested in experimenting with new styles of expression. Leading figures in their field, such as Marianne Hirsch, Lynne Pearce, Griselda Pollock, Carol Smart, Jackie Stacey and Janet Wolff, all risk new ways of writing about themselves and their subjects. Aimed at both general and academic readers interested in how scholarly writing might be more innovative and creative, this collection introduces the personal, the poetic and the experimental into the frame of cultural criticism. This collection of essays is highly interdisciplinary and contributes to debates in sociology, history, anthropology, art history, cultural and media studies and gender studies. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 1991The annals of St-Bertin
Ninth-century histories, volume I
by Janet Nelson
The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the 830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L. Nelson offers in this volume both an entrée to a crucial Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an interest in the development of European culture and society. ;

September 2008Zwei Leben
Gertrude und Alice
by Janet Malcolm, Chris Hirte
Zwei Leben ist ein höchst anregender und aufschlußreicher, ebenso unterhaltender wie eleganter biographischer Essay über Gertrude Stein und Alice B. Toklas. Unbefangen und respektvoll nähert sich Janet Malcolm ihrem Gegenstand. Während sie den bisher Stein-Fremden Lust auf Werk und Leben der legendenumwobenen Autorin und ihrer Gefährtin macht, hat ihr Buch auch den Kennern Neues mitzuteilen. So erfahren wir zum ersten Mal Genaueres über die Jahre des Zweiten Weltkriegs, die Stein und Toklas als Jüdinnen im nazibesetzten Frankreich verbrachten, nachdem sie sich bewußt gegen eine Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten entschieden hatten. Stein sparte ihr Jüdischsein aus, sie verdrängte es, soweit sie nur konnte, und ließ sich von ihrem antisemitischen Freund Bernard Fay, der Zugang zu den höchsten Kreisen des Vichy-Regimes und zu Pétain selbst hatte, protegieren. Oder: Malcolm berichtet von ihren Gesprächen mit Leon Katz, dem einzigen, der Alice Toklas nach Steins Tod wirklich zum Sprechen brachte - auch über sorgsam Verschwiegenes wie eine unglückliche frühe Liebe Steins, die Eingang nicht nur in ihre Notizbücher, sondern auch in Werke wie The Making of Americans, Drei Leben und Q.E.D. (BS 1055) fand, was Alice Toklas noch viele Jahre später zu rasenden Eifersuchtsanfällen provozierte.

The ArtsMay 2023Modern European cinema and love
by Richard Rushton
Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

History of Art / Art & Design StylesJuly 2015Porous boundaries
Art and essays
by Edited by David Peters Corbett, Cyril Reade
This innovative and exciting volume celebrates the career of Janet Wolff: a highly influential voice in the literature of sociology, cultural studies, visual studies and art history, as well as dance and modernism for several decades. Her work has significantly contributed to the way we view issues as diverse as modernism, the flâneur, British and American art in the early twentieth century, and the gendered literature of modernity. The volume contains contributions from a number of Janet Wolff's collaborators and others who are associated with the fields in which she has worked, including Zygmunt Bauman, Walid Raad and Griselda Pollock. The book includes original artworks, memoir and essays inspired by her example and which deal with questions she has discussed. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in any of these disciplines, as well as those interested by the form of a transatlantic academic career.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2002Women on the Renaissance stage
Anna of Denmark and female masquing in the Stuart court 1590–1619
by Clare McManus
This work reassesses women's relationship to performance in early modern England. It investigates the staging conditions, practices and gendering of Anna of Denmark's performances, bringing current critical theorisations of race, class, gender, space and performance to bear on the female courtly body in dance, staging, scenery, costume and make-up in the Jacobean court. The study establishes a tradition of early seventeenth-century female performance which constitutes a trajectory for the emergence of the professional Restoration female actor. Anna of Denmark, wife of James VI of Scotland/James I, was a great patron of Ben Johnson, among others. ;

MedicineMay 2013Therapeutic landscapes
A history of English hospital gardens since 1800
by Clare Hickman
Therapeutic landscapes uniquely brings together historical and contemporary debates on the use of the garden as a therapeutic space. Hickman narrates the story of the landscapes associated with psychiatric, general and specialist medical institutions and asks what did they look like, how were they used and how did this relate to medical concepts? It traces the history of these gardens from the grottos, Chinese galleries and summer houses of elite nineteenth-century lunatic asylums, through Florence Nightingale's championing of the Victorian pavilion hospital design with its courtyard gardens, and the open-air institutions of the Edwardian period with their revolving chalets. It concludes with a discussion of new hospital gardens being created by designers such as Dan Pearson in the twenty-first century. This book will be essential reading for those interested in the histories of place, space and material culture, and in particular medical historians, garden historians and historical geographers. ;
