Windsor Castle in Berkshire England was started by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. It has been used by the reigning monarch and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. Originally designed to project Norman dominance around the outskirts of London and oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames, Windsor Castle was built with three wards surrounding a central mound. Windsor Castle grounds cover 13 acres (52,609 square metres) and combines the features of a fortification, a palace, and a small town. Consisting of Upper, Middle and Lower Wards, State Apartments, Parks and Gardens, Windsor Castle has undergone many changes through the centuries and remains one of the world's most-visited sites.

Naturphänomene wie die vier Jahreszeiten sind seit jeher Teil der menschlichen Erfahrungswelt und treten im Zuge aktueller klimatischer Veränderungen verstärkt in das Bewusstsein. In der Kunst seit der Antike präsent, erlangt das Motiv im 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert den Höhepunkt seiner Beliebtheit. Zeitgleich vollzieht sich ein Wandel in der Auffassung und der Darstellungsweise. Die Publikation nimmt diese Prozesse der Revision und Loslösung von konventionellen Vorstellungen in den Blick und untersucht anhand ausgewählter Werkbeispiele von William Hogarth, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Caspar David Friedrich und Bertel Thorvaldsen den Wandel des Jahreszeitenbildes vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Verwissenschaftlichung, veränderter Naturerfahrung und eines aufklärerischen Weltverständnisses. Erste monographische Untersuchung des Themas Pointierte Darstellung anhand vier ausgewählter Werkbeispiele Wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Einbettung Bezüge zu Aufklärungsforschung, Literatur-, Musik- und Naturwissenschaften

In the wide realm of Shakespeare worship, the house in Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare was born in 1564 - known colloquially as the 'Birthplace' - remains the chief shrine. It's not as romantic as Anne Hathaway's thatched cottage, it's not where he wrote any of his plays, and there's nothing inside the house that once belonged to Shakespeare himself. So why, for centuries, have people kept turning up on the doorstep? Richard Schoch answers that question by examining the history of the Birthplace and by exploring how its changing fortunes over four centuries perfectly mirror the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself.Based on original research in the archives of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, and featuring two black and white illustrated plate sections which draw on the wide array of material available at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum, this book traces the history of Shakespeare's birthplace over four centuries. Beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, it ends in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today.

Some five hundred years ago, Sandro Botticelli, a painter of humble origin, created works of unearthly beauty. A star of Florence's art world, he was commissioned by a member of the city's powerful Medici family to execute a near-impossible project: to illustrate all one hundred cantos of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, the ultimate visual homage to that "divine" poet.This sparked a gripping encounter between poet and artist, between the religious and the secular, between the earthly and the evanescent, recorded in exquisite drawings by Botticelli that now enchant audiences worldwide. Yet after a lifetime of creating masterpieces including Primavera and The Birth of Venus, Botticelli declined into poverty and obscurity. His Dante project remained unfinished. Then the drawings vanished for over four hundred years. The once famous Botticelli himself was forgotten.The nineteenth-century rediscovery of Botticelli's Dante drawings brought scholars and art lovers to their knees: this work embodied everything the Renaissance had come to mean. From Botticelli's metaphorical rise from the dead in Victorian England to the emergence of eagle-eyed connoisseurs like Bernard Berenson and Herbert Horne in the early twentieth century, and even the rescue of precious art during the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the posthumous story of Botticelli's Dante drawings is, if anything, even more dramatic than their creation.A combination of artistic detective story and rich intellectual history, shows not only how the Renaissance came to life, but also how Botticelli's art helped bring it about-and, most important, why we need the Renaissance and all that it stands for today.

A beautifully written and astonishing memoir of a woman - a writer - in the midst of motherhood, marriage and life. While struggling with the demands of family and career, the writer discovers a figure from history, Marguerite de la Rocque, a sixteenth-century noblewoman who was abandoned, pregnant, on a remote island in Nova Scotia. When she is finally rescued, her lover and her baby have died, but she has survived this inhospitable wilderness, alone, for two long years. It's a remarkable story of survival, but one that has been consigned to a footnote.Delving deeper into Marguerite's hidden life, the writer begins to question her ability to tell this story, the story of any women in history - or even her own.'The deeply personal journey of a writer, surprising and illuminating, and for me, familiar in the most reassuring way as she loses herself in this compelling story' Esther Freud
