Sinopsis

In "Percival's Picture Gallery," A. L. O. E. (the pen name of the prolific author Charlotte Maria Tucker) presents a charming exploration of morality, beauty, and imagination through the lens of art. This literary work combines engaging narrative with vivid descriptions, ensuring that illustrations serve not merely as ancillary to the text but as integral components that enhance the reader's understanding of complex themes. The book, set against the backdrop of the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in aesthetics and visual culture, captures the zeitgeist by encouraging readers to contemplate the relationship between visual representations and moral lessons. A. L. O. E. was a socially conscious writer and an advocate for children's education, which influenced her literary output. Her deep-rooted belief in the power of literature as a vehicle for moral instruction is evident in this work. With a background in teaching and a keen interest in how imagistic storytelling can engage young minds, Tucker sought to blend education with pleasure in her writing, making philosophical ideas accessible through an engaging narrative style. "Percival's Picture Gallery" is a must-read for those interested in Victorian literature, art criticism, or educational philosophies. The book serves as a delightful intersection of these disciplines, inviting readers to reflect on the moral implications of art while enjoying an enchanting tale. By immersing oneself in this work, one not only gains insight into the aesthetics of the time but also encounters valuable life lessons drawn from the world of art.

    A spirited dive into the life and career of a performer, writer, and director who dominated twentieth-century American comedy 
     
     
      
    Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, is one of the great comic voices of the twentieth century. Having won almost every entertainment award there is, Brooks has straddled the line between outsider and insider, obedient and rebellious, throughout his career, making out-of-bounds comedy the American mainstream. 
     
     
      
    Jeremy Dauber argues that throughout Brooks's extensive body of work—from Your Show of Shows to Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein to Spaceballs—the comedian has seen the most success when he found a balance between his unflagging, subversive, manic energy and the constraints imposed by comedic partners, the Hollywood system, and American cultural mores. Dauber also explores how Brooks's American Jewish humor went from being solely for niche audiences to an essential part of the American mainstream, paving the way for generations of Jewish (and other) comedians to come.

    From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.
