Whereas the past decades have seen a profound reconsideration of eighteenth-century visual culture, the architecture of that century has undergone little evaluation Its study, unlike that of the early modern period or the twentieth century, has continued to use essentially the same methods and ideas over the last fifty years. Articulating British Classicism reconsiders the traditional historiography of British eighteenth-century architecture as it was shaped after World War II, and brings together for the first time a variety of new perspectives on British classicism in the period. Drawing on current thinking about the eighteenth century from a range of disciplines, the book examines such topics as: social and gender identities, colonialization and commercialization, notions of the rural, urban and suburban, as well as issues of theory and historiography. Canonical constructions of Georgian architecture are explored, including current evaluations of the continental intellectual background, the relationship with mid seventeenth-century Stuart court classicism and the development of the subject in the twentieth century..

Keith McKellar’s riveting line drawings of the disappearing neon of Vancouver, BC, accompanied by jazz riff tales of the street are from a new collection by the artist Laughing Hand. Neon Eulogy: Vancouver Café and Street contains McKellar’s expressionist portraits of famous cafes, theatres––the characters and the street. For the last sixteen years street artist Laughing Hand has been quietly capturing Vancouver’s dives and haunts, through the metaphor of neon and its days of glory, documenting the demise of its crumbling antiques. The Ovaltine Café, the Aristocratic, the Ho Ho, the Orpheum, the Stanley, the Only, the Smiling Buddha, the Yale – these landmarks and their heritage neon are a window into our culture. The stories are anecdotal hearsays––tossed scraps of found memory, tacked together in, off the wall, historical gossips. A poignant and wildly entertaining social comment from the journals of a bohemian sleuth, Neon Eulogy: Vancouver Café and Street is a startling glimpse of Canadian cultural heritage..

In this Christmas classic, Dickens's most famous character, Ebenezer Scrooge, learns the meaning of friendship after being visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. Many don't realize that this 1843 masterpiece is largely responsible for many of the Christmas customs we know today, including feasts, caroling, and family revelry.

With striking illustrations and extended captions unique to The Whole Story, A Christmas Carol provides background information that modern readers could otherwise access only through a broad range of supplemental research--from depictions of daily home life in Victorian England to its examination of the problems of the urban poor at the height of the Industrial Revolution. This distinctive approach places A Christmas Carol, first published in 1843, within the context of its era, bringing it vividly to life..
