In Another Light
£24.32
The extraordinary outburst of artistic energy that occurred in Denmark between 1790 & 1910 has few rivals. Within three generations Danish painters developed a national school that matched the artistic centres of France Germany & Britain with a range of outstanding works by the Danish artists including Classicism Romanticism Impressionism & Symbolism. Yet surprisingly there have been few studies

- of this vital artistic movement. That deficit is now corrected with the publication of this landmark study which allies a lucid & engaging text to scores of luminous reproductions.

In his political speeches especially & in his correspondence we see the excitement tension & intrigue of politics & the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political before jurors if judicial 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch & other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero & nearly 100 by others to him.

Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions & a number of others; & some lost. There is also poetry some original some as translations from the Greek. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Cicero is in twenty-nine volumes. ...
