Winner of the Society for Theatre Research Book Prize 2020

Vivien Leigh was perhaps the most iconic actress of the twentieth century. As Scarlett O'Hara and Blanche Du Bois she took on some of the most pivotal roles in cinema history. Yet she was also a talented theatre actress with West End and Broadway plaudits to her name. In this ground-breaking new biography, Alan Strachan provides a completely new full-life portrait of Leigh, covering both her professional and personal life. Using previously unseen
sources from her archive, recently acquired by the V&A, he sheds new light on her fractious relationship with Laurence Olivier, based on their letters and diaries, as well as on the bipolar disorder which so affected her later life and work. Revealing new aspects of her early life as well as providing glimpses behind-the-scenes of the filming of Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, this book provides the essential and comprehensive life-story of one of the twentieth century's greatest actresses.

On which might Industry her fair hopes build, And trust unshaken; His the mountains brown, That rose, with easy swell, the vale to shield From northern blasts, and surly Winter's frown.

In the past two decades digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way we think about, make and use popular music. From the production of multimillion selling pop records to the ubiquitous remix that has become a marker of Web 2.0, the emergence of new music production technologies have had a transformative effect upon 21st Century digital culture. Sonic Technologiesexamines these issues with a specific focus upon the impact of digitization upon creativity; that is, what musicians, cultural producers and prosumers do. For many, music production has moved out of the professional recording studio and into the home. Using a broad range of examples ranging from experimental electronic music to more mainstream genres, the book examines how contemporary creative practice is shaped by the visual and sonic look and feel of recording technologies such as Digital Audio Workstations.

Описание: Balancing Act: Strategies for Successful Aging is written for the old, older, and oldest among us, as well as for the families and friends who are caring for them. To grow old is one experience and to care for an aging loved one is yet another, each with its own challenges and opportunities. As an older woman and a daughter whose mother died at 99, I speak with both voices and borrow freely from the poetry and wisdom of many others who are addressing the same issues. I want to offer hope, ideas, and encouragement to everyone in both of those groups. Successful aging is a dynamic, difficult journey, but rich and rewarding when done well. The photo on the cover is my favorite painting from a 2006 series I called "Windows to the Soul." I love this old woman's eyes, still twinkling and alive with anticipation, unfazed by her wrinkles. I love the peace she manifests in her personal balancing act. This is who I want to be as I age, and also what I hope for others.
