Opera Obscura - Peter Kent - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Opera Obscura - Peter Kent - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Many musical and theatrical traditions walk the very narrow path between the sublime and the ridiculous, but perhaps none more so than opera, which, while maintaining an elegant reputation, makes a show out of princes making romantic speeches to soft fruit, noses being accidentally cut off and woodpeckers performing wedding ceremonies.Opera Obscura is a beautifully illustrated collection that contributes twenty-five brand new impossibly madcap operas to the canon of magnificent absurdities, along with the intricate blueprints for several incredible opera houses and information on of a whole range of almost unbelievably incredible instruments.

Venus and Adonis - William Shakespeare - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Venus and Adonis - William Shakespeare - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Long before Shakespeare''s name was synonymous with the stage he built a name as a poet, and Venus and Adonis was likely the first work to be published by the same quill that gave the world Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and the rest of the canon. This narrative poem tells the story of Venus, the goddess of love, and her unrequited love for Adonis. Inspired by Ovid''s telling of the myth, Shakespeare''s version is much more forthright, and was an instant success. A light entertaining tale, this is the poem that marks the beginning of the building of the Bard''s brand.

The Rambling Sailor - Charlotte Mew - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Rambling Sailor - Charlotte Mew - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In the old back streets o’ PimlicoOn the docks at Monte VideoAt the Ring o’ Bells on Plymouth HoeHe’m arter me now wheerever I go… Charlotte Mew, a Modernist poet who in her day was considered one of the finest of the age by writers of great stature, has lived for long in the shadows of the literary canon. An avant-garde Bloomsbury poet that never quite broke through into the public’s consciousness, Mew’s experimental style, with prose-like lines, has stood the test of time, and is as relevant and powerful today as when it was written. Published in 1929, a year after her tragic death, The Rambling Sailor collects Mew’s final, most powerful verse, in which love, nature and religion all intermingle to paint pictures of pain, hope and a deep love of the natural world through the writer’s knowledgeable eyes.

Art, Wealth and Riches - William Morris - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Art, Wealth and Riches - William Morris - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

William Morris is perhaps best known today for the beautiful textile designs he created under the banner of Morris & Co, which continue to decorate homes around the globe. As one of the leading lights of British socialism, however, he is less well known, and this series of Morris''s Manifestos seeks to highlight his extraordinary contribution to the literary canon on subjects socialist and artistic.Based on a lecture given at the Manchester Royal Institution in 1883, Art, Wealth and Riches is a thought-provoking essay that considers art as having educative and aesthetic value that should be shared with the many, rather than financial value that should be hoarded by the few. Morris asks: ''Is art to be limited to a narrow class who only care for it in a very languid way, or is it to be the solace and pleasure of the whole people?''

Silly Novels by Lady Novelists and Other Essays - George Eliot - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Silly Novels by Lady Novelists and Other Essays - George Eliot - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

One of the most famous novelists in the English literary canon, the likes of Middlemarch and Silas Marner are household names, but Eliot''s essays are often overlooked. This collection brings together some of her most important essays and seeks to celebrate her non-fiction writing.In ''Silly Novels by Lady Novelists'' Eliot states a desire – some few years before her best-known works – to turn her hand to novel-writing, and decries the trivial nature of contemporary writers, setting out a manifesto for good writing. In ''Woman in France'' she considers the history of women''s writing, and the complications women face in order to write – something Eliot knew much about herself, adopting a male name to publish the work she did not publish anonymously. Taken together, this collection gives a rare and valuable insight into the author''s writing, and shines a light on her pioneering subtle form of feminism.

The Decorative Arts: Their Relation to Modern Life and Progress and The Manifesto of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings - William

William Morris is perhaps best known today for the beautiful textile designs he created under the banner of Morris & Co, which continue to decorate homes around the globe. As one of the leading lights of British socialism, however, he is less well known, and this series of Morris''s Manifestos seeks to highlight his extraordinary contribution to the literary canon on subjects socialist and artistic.The second in the Morris''s Manifestos series, The Decorative Arts is a passionate argument against the homogenisation of production, and a cry for art to make itself seen in design – ''art will make our streets as beautiful as the woods, as elevating as the mountainsides.''This edition also includes The Manifesto of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, the society founded by William Morris and his architect friend Philip Webb, which sought to oppose the ''destructive restoration'' that was going on in ancient buildings at the time.

Miss Furr and Miss Skeene and Men - Gertrude Stein - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Miss Furr and Miss Skeene and Men - Gertrude Stein - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘Sometimes men are kissing. Men are sometimes kissing and sometimes drinking. Men are sometimes kissing one another…’ One of the foremost writers of the twentieth century, Gertrude Stein was marked for her ground-breaking experimental prose and extraordinary friendship group alike, and her works stand as a monument in the Modernist era. In more recent years Stein has been held up as a queer icon, as she lived openly with her life partner Alice B. Toklas and wrote of queer relationships at a time when this was strictly taboo. While some of Stein’s queer works made it into print in her lifetime, including The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas , much of her more daring early queer stories only saw the light of day after her death, when Yale set to publishing her complete works. Now that ‘The love that dare not speak its name’ may be bolder, this collection aims to restore Stein’s short, queer works to the canon, and to burnish her status as an early queer icon.

Adam's Breed - Radclyffe Hall - Bog - Renard Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gian-Luca has a rocky start in life, his mother dying in childbirth, his father unknown, and he is sent to grow up with his grandparents amongst an Italian immigrant community on Old Compton Street. He becomes a waiter, where he learns the value of hard work, and soon lands a promotion to head waiter in a fine-dining restaurant. He excels in this position, and it is not long before he meets Maddelena, to whom he gets married. It seems he has found a happy ending. However, despite his marriage to Maddelena and his achievements in his work, he finds he is not happy, after all. Life loses its joy, and he comes to despise those he serves in the restaurant, seeing in the diners the ugly side of society. Disconsolate, he sets out to seek a more fulfilling life, and becomes a hermit, trying to reconnect with nature, and hoping to find peace outside of society. Despite winning awards upon its publication, Adam''s Breed sank into obscurity following the censorship of Hall''s later novel The Well of Loneliness . An early example of immigrant narratives, yet still relevant today, it is time Gian-Luca''s stirring tale found its way back to the canon.
