Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "A Treatise on Chancel Screens and Rood Lofts," Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin meticulously examines the architectural and liturgical significance of chancel screens and rood lofts within Christian ecclesiastical structures. Employing a Gothic Revival literary style infused with reverence for medieval traditions, Pugin articulates the historical context and enduring relevance of these elements, championing their role in fostering a sense of spirituality and divine order in worship. His comprehensive analysis elucidates the symbolic meanings embedded in their design and placement, making this work an essential contribution to the study of ecclesiastical architecture and its profound impacts on liturgy and worship practices. Pugin, a leading figure in the Gothic Revival movement, was deeply influenced by his commitment to restoring the Catholic church's dignity and aesthetic integrity. Throughout his life, he advocated for a return to the authentic styles of medieval architecture, believing that such designs were imbued with a spiritual essence that contemporary buildings lacked. His personal experiences and devout Catholic faith shaped his vision for this treatise, driving him to explore the intersection of faith, art, and architecture. For readers keen on ecclesiastical architecture's nuance or enthusiasts of the Gothic Revival, Pugin's treatise offers invaluable insights. This book is indispensable for scholars and practitioners alike, inviting them to appreciate the underlying significance of art in worship and its role in enhancing the sacred experience.

Rockin’ in the Ivory Tower -...

James M. Carter

Histories of American rock music and the 1960s counterculture typically focus on the same few places: Woodstock, Monterey, Altamont. Yet there was also a very active college circuit that brought edgy acts like the Jefferson Airplane and the Velvet Underground to different metropolitan regions and smaller towns all over the country. These campus concerts were often programmed, promoted, and reviewed by students themselves, and their diverse tastes challenged narrow definitions of rock music. 
 
  
 
Rockin' in the Ivory Tower takes a close look at two smaller universities, Drew in New Jersey and Stony Brook on Long Island, to see how the culture of rock music played an integral role in student life in the late 1960s. Analyzing campus archives and college newspapers, historian James Carter traces connections between rock fandom and the civil rights protests, free speech activism, radical ideas, lifestyle transformations, and anti-war movements that revolutionized universities in the 1960s. Furthermore, he finds that these progressive students refused to segregate genres like folk, R&B, hard rock, and pop. Rockin' in the Ivory Tower gives listeners a front-row seat to a dynamic time for the music industry, countercultural politics, and youth culture.

Rags and Bones - An Exploration...

Jeff Sellars, Kevin C. Neece

After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957–1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music—all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape. The combined use of multiple instruments, complex song structures, and poetic lyrics required attentive listening and a sophisticated interpretive framework. It is no surprise, then, that they soon grew to be one of the biggest bands of their era. 
 
 
 
In Rags and Bones: An Exploration of The Band, scholars and musicians take a broad, multidisciplinary approach to The Band and their music, allowing for examination through sociological, historical, political, religious, technological, cultural, and philosophical means. Each contributor approaches The Band from their field of interest, offering a wide range of investigations into The Band's music and influence. 
 
 
 
Commercially successful and critically lauded, The Band created a paradoxically mythic and hauntingly realistic lyrical landscape for their songs—and their musicianship enlarged this detailed landscape.
