  Where Stands a Wingèd Sentry

  Margaret Kennedy

  • 0

  Margaret Kennedy was an acclaimed novelist and playwright best-known for The Constant Nymph. In this autobiographical account, taken from her war diaries, she conveys the tension, frustration, and bewilderment of the progression of the war, and the terror of knowing that the worst is to come, but not yet knowing what the worst will be. 
   
   
   
  English bravery, confusion, stubbornness, and dark humor provide the positive, more hopeful side of her experiences, in which she and her children move from Surrey to Cornwall, to sit out the war amidst a quietly efficient Home Guard and the most scandalous rumors. 
   
   
   
  "Most people knew in their hearts that the lid had been taken off hell, and that what had been done in Guernica would one day be done in London, Paris and Berlin." Margaret Kennedy's prophetic words, written about the pre-war mood in Europe, give the tone of this riveting 1941 wartime memoir: it is Mrs. Miniver with the gloves off. 
   
   
   
  Where Stands A Wingèd Sentry, the title comes from a seventeenth-century poem by Henry Vaughan, was only published in the USA in 1942, and was never published in the UK, until now.

  Fashion in Ancient Egypt: The...

  Of all the ancient Egyptian artifacts that survived the sands of time, some of the most important are clothes, which separates Egypt from many of its contemporaries. The dryness of the Egyptian desert, combined with a burial culture that deliberately equipped the dead for an afterlife, preserved textiles that have decayed almost everywhere else in the ancient world. Whole garments have come out of Egyptian tombs, some of them still folded as they were packed. Wigs survive with their curls intact and their setting wax still holding, and sandals survive with the wear of a particular foot in them. Cosmetic jars survive with the paint still inside, and the paint can be analyzed. The tomb of the architect Kha and his wife Merit, found undisturbed in 1906, yielded their clothes, their wigs, their cosmetic equipment, and the household goods of two real people who died more than 3,000 years ago. The tomb of Tutankhamun held more than 100 items of clothing, including tunics, kilts, sashes, gloves, and dozens of pairs of sandals. 
  	With these artifacts intact, it quickly became clear to modern Egyptologists that the ancient Egyptians’ own art was full of lies. Egyptian artists worked to a strict convention that valued clarity, order, and the ideal over the observed, so bodies were shown in a composite view that presented each part from its most recognizable angle, and people were sized by importance rather than by distance. In the same vein, clothing was rendered according to what it meant rather than what it actually looked like. The single most famous garment in Egyptian art - the tight sheath dress that clings to every painted woman from breast to ankle - turned out on examination not to be a garment at all, and modern reconstructions that trusted the ancient art got it wrong for a century.
