Автор: Martin Wood Название: The Unknown Gertrude Jekyll ISBN: 0711226113 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780711226111 Издательство: Frances Lincoln Рейтинг: Цена: 21780 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is a selection of 200 of the best articles and other writings by Gertrude Jekyll, who 'changed the face of England more than any save the Creator himself and, perhaps, Capability Brown'. Although Miss Jekyll designed around 400 gardens, none remains as she intended and few exist today in any recognizable form. Her enduring influence has been achieved not through her spade but through her pen. She published 15 books and contributed well over a thousand articles, notes and letters to numerous magazines and newspapers. But although the books are well known, until now, all but a handful of her other writings have been accessible only to scholars – a situation that this selection redresses. This book covers themes that include garden planning, wild and woodland gardening, climbing plants, water gardening and garden ornament, and includes selected articles. This is a gem of garden writing that all who are interested in Jekyll, planting and design will be delighted to discover.

Название: Gertrude Jekyll: Her Art Restored at Upton Grey ISBN: 1870673808 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781870673808 Издательство: ACC-distribution titles Рейтинг: Цена: 25040 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Gertrude Jekyll was perhaps the most important British garden designer of the 20th century. She famously argued that gardening ought to be considered a Fine Art, highlighting that it becomes a point of honour to be always striving for the best. This volume examines Jekyll's work at Manor House, Upton Grey in Hampshire, offering an insight into her eclectic, imaginative, and inspiring art. Designed between 1908 and 1909, and once maintained by as many as nine gardeners, the garden fell into disrepair by the second half of the twentieth century, before a full and accurate restoration was carried out in the early 1980s. 'Gertrude Jekyll: Her Art Restored at Upton Grey' presents a visual record of the garden's plants and layout, with original plans and photographs, as well as beautiful images of the garden taken since its restoration. There is also a fascinating chapter about Miss Jekyll's discovery, admiration and use of Mediterranean plants. The book succeeds in illustrating exactly why Jekyll was so admired in her lifetime and why she continues to inspire and influence gardeners today.

Автор: Stein Gertrude Название: Tender Buttons ISBN: 1452112096 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781452112091 Издательство: Abrams Цена: 13060 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: First published in 1914, Gertrude Stein's revolutionary poetic work Tender Buttons is a must-read for every serious lover of literature. Delighting in the rhythm of words, its first section, "Objects," runs playful linguistic circles around teacups, ribbons, umbrellas, and other quotidian artifacts. Presented here in an exquisite small package, this new edition of "Objects" pairs Stein's avant-garde verse with colorful contemporary illustrations by indie art star Lisa Congdon, who illuminates and interrogates the classic Cubist text with visuals as capricious as Stein's own prose. A celebration of independent thinking old and new, this captivating marriage of image and text is a treasure of arts and letters.
Автор: Stein Название: Letters of Gertrude Stein & Thornton ISBN: 0300067747 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780300067743 Издательство: Yale University Press Рейтинг: Цена: 31760 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The friendship and correspondence of Gertrude Stein and Thornton Wilder encompassed the last 12 years of Stein's life and a period of major work by Wilder.
A generation apart in age, the two writers met during Stein's American lecture tour in 1934-35, during which they shared the experience of lecturing to audiences in the wake of great
success. They quickly became mentor and pupil as well as friends, and Wilder passed on what Stein taught him through his introduction to her books.
While Wilder supported
Stein's efforts at publication, she held him to his vocation as a writer, urging him to ignore the distractions incurred by family and fortune. The letters between Stein and Wilder contain
ideas and plans about publications, attitudes towards fame and work and thoughts about artists and people near to them. They also refer to European-American cultural relations prior to
and through World War II, show how Stein and Wilder responded to critical reception of their new work, and above all, examine how the two writers affected one another's
progress.
It is clear from the letters that without their friendship, Stein's "Narration" lectures would not have come about, "The Geographical History" and the novel "Ida"
would have become different books and Wilder's "Our Town" might not have become the play we know. The edition, fully annotated by Edward M. Burns and Ulla E.
Dydo,
includes a detailed chronology of Stein's lecture tour prepared by William Rice, staging histories of "Our Town" and "The Skin of Our Teeth" and an account of Stein in World War II
with documentation.

Описание: The garden at the Manor House, Upton Grey in Hampshire was designed by Gertrude Jekyll for Charles Holme, the founder of 'The Studio'. Having fallen into disrepair it has been accurately and painstakingly reeated over a period of 16 years to embody Gertrude Jekyll's original vision. It now contains the only complete restored Jekyll wild garden still in existence. The recreation was made possible by the discovery of Jekyll's original plans at the Reef Point Collection in the United States, secured for posterity by the great American landscape architect Beatrix Farrand. Rosamund Wallinger, the current owner of the Manor House, personally undertook the restoration of this Edwardian masterpiece. Meticulous records and photographs kept throughout the restoration have enabled Rosamund Wallinger to produce a beautifully illustrated and historic document. Full of fascinating horticultural details, and tinged with a very necessary sense of humour, her account makes fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in garden design and garden history.
