The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature: Volume 4, 1900-1950


Book Description

More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 4 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.




The Print Collectors' Chronicle


Book Description




Eric Gill


Book Description

A new study of the provocative British artist. Gill fused eroticism and mysticism in clear, direct and fluid graphic lines, which upset parts of the establishment (a couple are shown in one print making love while being blessed by the hand of God; in another, a nude Mary Magdalene embraces Christ on the Cross). Hoyland explores the relationship between the spiritual and the sensual in Gill's many prints and drawings, including the Song of Songs woodcuts.
