English Romantic Writers
David Perkins - 1967
This book offers a very generous selection from authors who have traditionally held a large place in our consciousness of English Romanticism, but it also includes other figures, especially women, who have been less emphasized in the past. The intellectual discourses of the age concerning governance, politics, and the impact of the French Revolution, gender and the status of women, the nature of nature and of human psychology, and the theory of literature and art are represented in the prose and poetry of writers like Wordsworth, Coleridge, the Shelleys, and Keats. There is also an usually large selection of ancillary materials -- letters, journals, reviews, and reminiscences of the writers.
The Origins of American Politics
Bernard Bailyn - 1967
Colver Lectures, Brown University 1965."An astonishing range of reading in contemporary tracts and modern authorities is manifest, and many aspects of British and colonial affairs are illuminated. As a political analysis this very important contribution will be hard to refute...."—Frederick B. Tolles, Political Science Quarterly"He produces historical analysis which is as revealing to the political scientist or sociologist as to the historian, of the significance of social and cultural forces on political changes in eighteenth-century America."—John D. Lees, Cambridge University Press"...these well-argued essays represent the first sustained and systematic attempt to provide a comprehensive and integrated analysis of all elements of American political life during the late colonial period...the author has once again put all students concerned with colonial America heavily in his intellectual debt."—Jack P. Greene, The New York Historical Society Quarterly"...Mr. Bailyn brings to his effort a splendid gift for pertinent curiosity. What he has found, and what patterns he has made of his findings, light our way through his longitudes and latitudes of scholarly precision."—Charles Poore, The New York Times

Bargello: Florentine Canvas Work
Elsa S. Williams - 1967
Its origin is very old and no one can say with any certainty where it was first created. Known by many names: Flame Stitch, Florentine, and Hungarian Point, for example, it has been used in combination with other surface embroider stitches, particularly in Middle European border motifs. Working on mono-thread canvas, using the same stritch in specified geometric arrangements, Elsa Williams has designed and adapted 55 different and individual Florentine Canvas Work patterns. All of these are reproduced as large as possible, each on a separate page with 15 in brilliant full color. Every design is provided with a list of suggested colors, keyed to a full-color chart of seven tapestry yarn color families and the various hues you will need from dark to light, plus three different grays and, of course, black and white. Suggestions for the best uses of each of the particular patterns such as chair seats, decorative bands, pillows, tapestries, and wearable accessories, etc. are also given in each instance. In an interesting, short introductory chapter the author recounts the history of the Bargello stich as she traced it back as far as she could to the Middle Ages in a recent trip to Florence after it was ravaged by the flooding of the River Arno. Starting with the Bargello Museum of the Museo Nazionale in that city, the story moves to Hungary, Poland, and back to the Medici in Italy. One glance through the vivid patterns which make up the bulk of the book will tempt you to begin to embroider something at once in this easy, yet fascinating, stitch.
