Aloysius O'Kelly: Art, Nation, Empire

Product Description Product DescriptionNiamh O'Sullivan's critical biography of Aloysius O'Kelly's astonishing career as a painter, illustrator and committed Fenian uncovers a world hardly known hitherto except in the most caricatured versions. She gives an account of the O'Kelly and Lawlor families which is part of the internal history of Fenianism, the Land War and Home Rule in Ireland, showing in detail a series of interrelationships, some of them highly scandalous, which had various political repercussions, all of them characterized by the mix of secrecy and publicity that attended upon O'Kelly's dual career as anti-imperialist artist and as superbly skilled and yet highly conventional painter in Orientalist, Celtic and naturalist-realist idioms. In O'Kelly's work we see several worlds interfuse: imperial London, the post-Famine Ireland of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, North Africa torn by British wars and adventures, the increasing influence of the United States and Irish America, the artistic pre-eminence of Paris and, extending within these, the clandestine and shadowy network of revolutionary Fenianism. Niamh O'Sullivan analyzes O'Kelly as a painter operating in and influenced by these different contexts and forces. The result is a complete revision of O'Kelly's status and achievement as a painter and as an artist in whom political radicalism and aesthetic vision were often uneasily but always fascinatingly interlocked. This is a much-needed study.

Queen Victoria and the Theatre of Her Age

Product Description Product DescriptionA fresh and intimate portrait of Queen Victoria "at the play." Through Victoria's diary, artwork and correspondence we see her as enraptured spectator, bountiful patron and tyrannical director of private theatricals. At times she appears formidable. More frequently she is impudent, high-spirited and unruly; a woman who delights in gory melodramas and circus acts. Queen Victoria and the Theatre of Her Age gives readers a deeply personal account of her lifelong devotion to the stage. It will appeal to anyone interested in monarchy's place in popular culture.

Le Grand Tango: The Life and Music of Astor Piazzolla

Product Description Product DescriptionAstor Piazzolla was a musical genius, a man who used the national dance of Argentina as raw material for a whole new musical genre. In Le Grand Tango, Mar???a Susana Azzi and Simon Collier vividly capture the life of this extraordinary musician--a visionary who won worldwide acclaim, but sparked bitter controversy in his native land. Azzi and Collier trace Piazzolla's early life from his birth in Argentina in 1921 to his childhood years on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he first developed a talent for the bandoneon, the accordion-like instrument central to the tango. They describe his return to Argentina at age 16 and his rapid rise in the intoxicating world of tango, where he quickly earned a place with the leading dance band, and then formed his own group. But at the height of his success, Piazzolla decided to take tango music to a new level and studied composition with the legendary Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Combining deft musical analysis and intriguing personal insight, Azzi and Collier show how he created a dramatically new style of tango music influenced by jazz and classical pieces--a tango music meant for listening, not dancing. But they also show that, in the birthplace of the tango, he met fierce resistance. He eventually left Argentina for Europe, where he emerged as an international celebrity. Since Piazzolla's death in 1992, his influence has only grown. Jazz giants such as Gary Burton and Al Di Meola--and classical stars Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax, and Daniel Barenboim--have all recorded albums of his works. Now Azzi and Collier have given us the first biography of this astonishingly gifted musician.
