Chinese Art: Modern Expressions by Maxwell K. Hearn. Metropolitan Museum of Art. 2001. 1 Volume.

This collection of essays offers a variety of perspectives on western civilization’s impact on Chinese “literature, architecture, painting, and calligraphy” from 1860-1980 It was published following the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2001 symposium and exhibition entitled Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Chinese Paintings from the Robert H. Ellsworth Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Contributors include Julia F. Andrews, Qianshen Bai, Jonathan Hay, Maxwell Hearn, Lothar Ledderose, Richard Vinograd, Wan Qingli, David Der-wei Wang, and Eugene Y. Wang. It begins with an overview by Maxwell Hearn Topics include, for example, painting and the built environment in late 19th century Shanghai and the aesthetic appreciation of ancient calligraphy in modern China. The volume is illustrated throughout by b&w photographs of Chinese artwork.

 

China's encounter with the West is a major theme. The essays demonstrate the influence of Western artists and Western ideas; they also address the challenge of "defining modernity" in the paintings, seeking the "demarcation line between the modern and the past." The book as a whole focuses on the challenge Chinese artists encountered in the creation of a new identity, and how their paintings reflect this challenge. The addition of this volume to our collection would make an excellent companiion to the catalog of the exhibition: Between Two Cultures: Late Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Chinese Paintings from the Robert H. Ellsworth Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Wen C. Fong, which is already held in the University's Art/Music Library.

Given by Susan Silverstein Class of 1978 In memory of Herbert L. Sadinsky Class of 1950.

The Narrative of the Beagle Voyage, 1831-1836. Edited by Katharine Anderson. Pickering & Chatto, 2012. 4 volumes.

HMS Beagle has entered the collective imagination as the ship that carried Charles Darwin to the Galapagos, triggering his later work on the theory of natural selection. Darwin and the Beagle’s captain, Robert FitzRoy, each wrote separate accounts of the voyage of 1831-1836, published together in 1839 under the title Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty’s Ships Adventure and Beagle…1829-1836 Darwin’s version has never been out of print. In contrast, this set presents the first critical edition of the remaining texts from 1839: FitzRoy’s account of the second voyage, his detailed appendices and the account of the 1826-30 voyage by Phillip Parker King, captain of HMS Adventure. This edition complements existing strengths in Darwin holdings in the library’s Rare Books/Special Collections. It promises to generate new scholarly approaches to the Beagle voyage and to be important for those interested in Darwin, Maritime Studies, History of Science and Empire.

Classical Myth and Psychoanalysis: Ancient and Modern Stories of the self. Edited by Vanda Zajko Oxford University Press, 2013. EBOOK.

Since Freud published the Interpretation of Dreams in 1900 and utilized Sophocles' Oedipus Rex to work through his developing ideas about the psycho-sexual development of children, it has been virtually impossible to think about psychoanalysis without reference to classical myth. Myth has the capacity to transcend the context of any particular retelling, continuing to transform our understanding of the present. Throughout the twentieth century, experts on the ancient world have turned to the insights of psychoanalytic criticism to supplement and inform their readings of classical myth and literature.

This book examines the inter-relationship of classical myth and psychoanalysis from the generation before Freud to the present day, engaging with debates about the role of classical myth in modernity, the importance of psychoanalytic ideas for cultural critique, and its ongoing relevance to ways of conceiving the self. The chapters trace the historical roots of terms in everyday usage, such as narcissism and the phallic symbol, in the reception of Classical Greece, and cover a variety of both classical and psychoanalytic texts.
