Synopsis

In "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells," Edward A. Freeman intricately chronicles the architectural, religious, and sociopolitical evolution of one of England's most significant ecclesiastical structures. The narrative blends meticulous historical research with a lyrical prose style that reflects the grandeur of the Cathedral itself. Freeman's work is situated within the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in Gothic architecture and medieval history, serving as both a scholarly treatise and a celebration of the Cathedral's enduring legacy. He delves into the myriad influences that shaped the church, from its early foundations to its modern-day significance, harmonizing historical facts with evocative descriptions. Edward A. Freeman, a prominent 19th-century historian and advocate for the importance of a united historical narrative, imbues his writings with a sense of place and purpose. His scholarly background, bolstered by an interest in ecclesiastical history and the social climate of his time, provides a rich context for understanding the intricate relationship between religion and architecture. Freeman's insights on the interplay between historical continuity and change allow readers to appreciate not only the Cathedral's past but its role in shaping community identity. "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells" is recommended for anyone with an interest in architectural history, religious studies, or the medieval period. Freeman's thorough research, enhanced by his poetic sensibility, renders this volume both informative and engaging, inviting readers to experience the timeless beauty and historical weight of Wells Cathedral.

    The director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park offers a vivid view of daily life in the lost city, shares the latest discoveries, and reflects on preserving heritage. In The Buried City, Gabriel Zuchtriegel takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Pompeii and reveals new archaeological finds that are being unearthed at the site’s biggest dig in a generation. As director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, Zuchtriegel presents a uniquely intimate perspective on this city that was tragically destroyed and frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Among the ruins, we find unmade beds, dishes left drying, and bodies of victims encased in ash, but Zuchtriegel shows that we’ve only begun to understand this fascinating place, as a third of the site remains unexcavated. Zuchtriegel leads us into the heart of the city, reconstructing Pompeii as it would have been, showing us who lived there, what mattered to them, and what happened in their final hours. The Buried City reveals the latest discoveries unearthed at Pompeii—including a banquet hall with murals of Greek gods, a fresco of what appears to be a pizza, and the remains of individuals crushed by debris—all buried for almost two thousand years. Zuchtriegel offers a vivid portrait of this World Heritage site as a vibrant and diverse city, connecting us to a past that is much closer than we think and inviting us to reflect on our role as keepers of the site and its history.

    Growing up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Solange Knowles became a pivotal musician in her own right. Defying an industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman, Solange continually experimented with her sound and embarked on a metamorphosis in her art that continues to this day.In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the creative journey of an artist who became a beloved voice for the Black Lives Matter generation. A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange Knowles's career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician's repertoire. First, she traces Solange’s progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist’s development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. Then, with A Seat at the Table and 2019’s When I Get Home, Phillips describes how Solange embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood, and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art. Why Solange Matters not only cements the place of its subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.
