Böcker av Alexandra Harris

Focuses on Virginia Woolf, one of the towering figures of literary modernism. Following the chronology of Woolf's life, this title considers each of the novels in context, gives due prominence to her dazzlingly inventive essays, traces the contentious course of her afterlife, and shows why Virginia Woolf continues to haunt and inspire us.

This publication offers a rich and expansive visual record of Julie Brook's artistic practice, and proposes a unique collaboration between Brook and distinct voices from the nature writing and craftsmanship traditions. Situating Brook's practice in the context of critical reflections by Robert Macfarlane, Alexandra Harris and Raku Jikinyu, the publication presents a striking visual narrative of Brook's landscape and tidal sculptural work, and a sense of its timeless yet contemporary resonance. Documenting in depth a number of recent works made in the Hebrides, Japan and Namibia, their shared attention to the elements and their key pre-occupations of the fleeting, mobile forces of light, time, and gravity demonstrate Brook's coherent vision within vastly contrasting environments. Throughout her oeuvre, the balance between what Brook makes in relation to the environment and materials themselves is paramount. Including film stills, photography and drawing, which are all integral languages for conceptualising and communicating the work, plus insightful extracts from Brook's notebooks, this beautiful publication succeeds in providing the reader with a unique understanding of the artist's 'monuments to the moment'.

Presents a case for the interest and importance of the English arts during the modern period.

This small book brings together some of the beautiful art that has, for centuries, gone into the creation of almanacs and calendars.
