Art Nouveau swept turn-of-the-century Europe and America with its graceful, flowing lines and sensuous female figures. Today the style enjoys renewed popularity among artists and craftspeople drawn to its timeless beauty. A noted artist and designer has assembled a sparkling collection of elements culled from an 18-year run of Jugend, a German periodical which became a major Art Nouveau showcase. Here are more than 500 frames, borders, vignettes, head- and tail-pieces, and spot illustrations — all royalty-free — by Otto Eckmann, Hans Christiansen, Bernhard Pankok, and many other leading practitioners of the Art Nouveau style. You'll find elegant floral patterns and borders, horses, lions, peacocks, intertwined snakes, etc. Here men and women dance, smoke, drive automobiles, drink toasts to one another, and more. You will be delighted by graceful nudes, precious nymphs astride dolphins, voluptuous can-can girls high-kicking in a repeating border pattern, and much more. Elements are conveniently categorized according to dominant motif — people, plants, animals, abstracts/geometrics. Their myriad design uses — greeting cards, advertisements, menus, to name a few — make them invaluable to artists, illustrators, advertisers, and craftspeople in many disciplines.

Following Clifford Geertz and other cultural anthropologists, the New Historicist critics have evolved a method for describing culture in action. Their "thick descriptions" seize upon an event or anecdote--colonist John Rolfe's conversation with Pocohontas's father, a note found among Nietzsche's papers to the effect that "I have lost my umbrella"--and re-read it to reveal through the analysis of tiny particulars the motive forces controlling a whole society. Contributors: Stephen J. Greenblatt, Louis A. Montrose, Catherine Gallagher, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Gerald Graff, Jean Franco, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Frank Lentricchia, Vincent Pecora, Jane Marcus, Jon Klancher, Jonathan Arac, Hayden White, Stanley Fish, Judith Newton, Joel Fineman, John Schaffer, Richard Terdiman, Donald Pease, Brooks Thomas.

The essays in this volume represent the most recent thinking collected on the problematics of feminism and critical theory, engaging the question of the relationship between these terms and the differences within each in terms of the other. As a whole, this piece of an extended conversation within feminism suggests both the illusory comfort of generic demarcations and the discomforting power of the play of difference. The articles are theoretically wide-ranging and provocative, offering discussion of works by such authors as Nella Larsen, Frances Harper, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker.
