Lives of Houses by Hermione Lee; Kate Kennedy

$44.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Interior Design

A group of notable writers--including UK poet laureate Simon Armitage, Julian Barnes, Margaret MacMillan, and Jenny Uglow--celebrate our fascination with the houses of famous literary figures, artists, composers, and politicians of the past What can a house tell us about the person who lives there? Do w e shape the buildings we live in, or are we formed by the places we call home? And why are we especially fascinated by the houses of the famous and often long-dead? In Lives of Houses, a group of notable biographers, historians, critics, and poets explores these questions and more through fascinating essays on the houses of great writers, artists, composers, and politicians of the past. Editors Kate Kennedy and Hermione Lee are joined by wide-ranging contributors, including Simon Armitage, Julian Barnes, David Cannadine, Roy Foster, Alexandra Harris, Daisy Hay, Margaret MacMillan, Alexander Masters, and Jenny Uglow. We encounter W. H. Auden, living in joyful squalor in New York's St. Mark's Place, and W. B. Yeats in his flood-prone tower in the windswept West of Ireland. We meet Benjamin Disraeli, struggling to keep up appearances, and track the lost houses of Virginia Woolf and Elizabeth Bowen. We visit Benjamin Britten in Aldeburgh, England, and Jean Sibelius at Ainola, Finland. But Lives of Houses also considers those who are unhoused, unwilling or unable to establish a home--from the bewildered poet John Clare wandering the byways of England to the exiled Zimbabwean writer Dambudzo Marechera living on the streets of London. With more than forty illustrations, Lives of Houses illuminates what houses mean to us and how we use them to connect to and think about the past. The result is a fresh and engaging look at house and home. Featuring Alexandra Harris on moving house ● Susan Walker on Morocco's ancient Roman House of Venus ● Hermione Lee on biographical quests for writers' houses ● Margaret Macmillan on her mother's Toronto house ● a poem by Maura Dooley, "Visiting Orchard House, Concord, Massachusetts"--the house in which Louisa May Alcott wrote and set her novel Little Women ● Felicity James on William and Dorothy Wordsworth's Dove Cottage ● Robert Douglas-Fairhurst at home with Tennyson ● David Cannadine on Winston Churchill's dream house, Chartwell ● Jenny Uglow on Edward Lear at San Remo's Villa Emily ● Lucy Walker on Benjamin Britten at Aldeburgh, England ● Seamus Perry on W. H. Auden at 77 St. Mark's Place, New York City ● Rebecca Bullard on Samuel Johnson's houses ● a poem by Simon Armitage, "The Manor" ● Daisy Hay at home with the Disraelis ● Laura Marcus on H. G. Wells at Uppark ● Alexander Masters on the fear of houses ● Elleke Boehmer on sites associated with Zimbabwean writer Dambudzo Marechera ● Kate Kennedy on the mental asylums where World War I poet Ivor Gurney spent the last years of his life ● a poem by Bernard O'Donoghue, "Safe Houses" ● Roy Foster on W. B. Yeats and Thoor Ballylee ● Sandra Mayer on W. H. Auden's Austrian home ● Gillian Darley on John Soane and the autobiography of houses ● Julian Barnes on Sibelius and Ainola ...Show more

Revival of the French Boudoir by Sandra Traviati

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Interior Design

Traditionally, the French boudoir, which reached its zenith in the eighteenth century, was a small space either attached to a woman's bedroom or created in a room nearby. Having this kind of personalised space - one designed exclusively for the lady of the house - was a luxury enjoyed by women of the ar istocracy, including Madame de Pompadour and Marie Antoinette. The French boudoir was deemed an essential space where prominent women could go to retreat, rest, read, write, pursue hobbies, entertain close girlfriends, and enjoy personal thoughts in much-desired solitude. In today's fast-paced world, with seemingly endless demands, the pursuit of the ultimate sanctuary and the desire to create an exclusively feminine retreat is something few women dare to even dream of. Revival of the French Boudoir explores creating this kind of personalised space within the home, which embodies the feminine style of classical France, while simultaneously addressing the complexities of the modern-day woman. Interior designer, Sandra Traviati, gives step-by-step instructions as well as numerous practical tips and resources that will inspire you to easily replicate your very own boudoir conducive to nurturing and revitalising the soul. The end result is a breathtaking space of individualised beauty, tranquility, and seclusion ... French style. ...Show more
