Product Description
For the German-speaking peoples under the Carolingians (c. AD 750-950), the dominant literary tongue was Latin, the lingua franca of the Christian West. Before the eighth century only isolated words, legal terms, and proper names from the vernacular dialects had found their way into manuscripts. Cyril Edwards's collection of essays examines the breakthrough into literacy of the dialects known collectively as Old High German in the south and Old Saxon in the north. In an introductory essay, Edwards surveys the recording and survival of the earliest continuous German texts. This leads into seven essays, each inspired by a fresh look at the manuscripts. Two are concerned with the Wessobrunn Prayer, the earliest religious poem in German. A third looks at the destructive application of acids to medieval manuscripts in an attempt to read barely legible letters; it concentrates upon the Hildebrandslied, the only surviving Old High German heroic lay, and the ninth-century eschatalogical poem, the Muspilli. Two studies are devoted to the Merseburg Charms, pagan survivals in a Christian manuscript, invoking gods familiar from the Old Norse pantheon. A study of the earliest traces of the love-lyric follows, poems that slipped through the net of censorship imposed by the Christian church. A final essay is concerned with the Ossian of the period, an ingenious forgery that was a cause célèbre in the nineteenth century, the Old High German Lullaby.Cyril Edwards is a Lecturer in German at St. Peter's College, Oxford, and an Honorary Research Fellow of University College London. He has published numerous articles on medieval German literature and co-edited a book on the medieval German lyric. He is currecntly preparing a new translation of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival and Titurel. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Seven main essays study the earliest surviving German texts
The Beginnings Of German Literature: Comparative And Interdisciplinary Approaches To Old High German by Cyril Edwards (Lecturer in German at St. Peter's College, Oxford and an Honorary Research Fellow of University College, London) is a meticulous and scholarly survey of the origins of German literature. Seven main essays study the earliest surviving German texts, the beginnings of German lyric, and specific works such as the Merseburg Charms. A college-level scrutiny given to fine detail, exhaustive research enhanced with extensive annotation. Black-and-white photographs show images of surviving medieval texts. No academic reference collection in Germanic Studies in general, and German Literature in particular, can be considered complete (or even adequate) without the inclusion of Cyril Edwards' The Beginnings Of German Literature. ...

Product Description
This is the improbable story of two very different German cruisers. The sleek and powerful Admiral Hipper was the much-heralded prototype of one of the most formidable ship classes of World War II. In contrast, the Pinguin, a converted merchantman, was armed with only 5.9 inch guns and operated by a predominately reservist crew. Contrary to all expectations, the amateur warship Pinguin was highly successful and went out in a blaze of glory, while the Admiral Hipper was hard-pressed to make its mark in the war and ended its days in ignominy. To tell the story, the author delves into the striking distinction between the conduct of the Pinguin's captain, who made a strong effort to minimize Allied casualties, and the callous attitude of the Admiral Hipper's captain. All those with an interest in World War II at sea will be fascinated by their contrasting fortunes. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars An Evocative History that Gives the `Feel' of Raiding
Although there have been a number of histories written about German Kriegsmarine commerce raiding operations in the Second World War, veteran merchant captain Bernard Edwards takes a somewhat different tack in Beware Raiders! Instead of canvassing all of the disguised raiders (Hilfskreuzer) as James P Duffy did in Hitler's Pirate Fleet, Edwards focuses on just two raiders. Even more interesting, Edwards selects the heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper as his first ship and the Hilfskreuzer Pinguin as the second, which offers an interesting comparison of Germany's overt and covert commerce raiders. Most of the book focuses on the main raiding period in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean in 1940-1941, although the author does touch on events following this time frame. Overall, the book offers some interesting views and is more detailed about some combat actions, but it also has a tendency to wander off topic and the book appears to be based mainly upon existing secondary sources and a sprinkling of merchant sailor eyewitness accounts. Thus, Beware Raiders should be viewed as an evocative-type history that sets out to give the flavor of commerce raiding operations, rather than as a more comprehensive approach to this topic.

The book is divided into sixteen chapters that interweave the raiding careers of both Hipper and Pinguin. The first three chapters deal with Pinguin's breakout into the Atlantic in mid-1940 and early operations, then shifts into the Hipper's early operations. Unfortunately, he gets side-tracked for a whole chapter on the invasion of Norway, which had nothing to do with commerce-raiding operations. He returns to commerce raiding in chapters 5-7 to take back up with Pinguin's operations in the Indian Ocean. Noteworthy in this narrative is the author's attention to details, such as the German radio codes and low-frequency radios used to avoid detection by the British. In chapter eight he returns to the Hipper's storyline, by way of discussing the captured liner Cap Norte as a lead-in to Hipper's pathetic attack on convoy WS 5A in December 1940. Despite catching a weakly-protected convoy by surprise, Hipper failed to score and was driven off once British escorts raced to intervene. He then slips back to cover Pinguin in chapter ten and then uses the next chapter to cover a Focke-Wulf Condor attack on convoy HG 53. At this point, some readers may tire of this format of switching perspectives every other chapter, particularly since the Hipper's operations were not in any way related to Pinguin's. Chapter twelve covers Hipper's more successful attack on convoy SL 64 in February 1941 in some detail, but a diagram of the attack would have been helpful.

Chapters thirteen and fourteen cover the final operations of the Pinguin and her last battle with HMS Cornwall in May 1941. The battle description is good, but the Pinguin's story comes to an abrupt end here with no mention of what happened to any of her survivors. Chapter fifteen is an odd diversion that covers the final fate of some of the merchant ships from convoy SL 64, although this more almost entirely about merchant seaman versus the sea, rather than versus raiders. The sixteenth chapter covers Hipper's later career including the frustrating attack on convoy JW 51B. The book includes sixteen B/W photos, a short bibliography, but no footnotes or appendices.
Although the author is knowledgeable about the sea, at times the lack of real research is apparent, such as when the author mentions that the Pinguin was equipped with "40-year-old 5.9-inch guns taken from the obsolete pre-dreadnought battleship Schliesen." In fact, the Schliesen had never been equipped with 5.9-inch guns and Pinguin's armament came from elsewhere. This mistake has been repeated in a number of other secondary sources (including Wikipedia) and the author repeats it here. He also includes some obvious factual errors, such as noting on page 44 that the cruiser Blucher was sunk at Narvik, instead of near Oslo. While a number of British eye-witness accounts are used, very few from the German side appear. Yet the author does have a knack for including interesting contributions by individual sailors, such as stocker Harry Penter's impromptu creation of a smoke screen that helped save several ships from Hipper's guns. Edwards' main intent is to compare the relative merits of an expensive, overt raider such as Hipper versus a cheap, covert raider such as Pinguin and he clearly comes down in favor of the later. Overall, Beware Raiders is an interesting read, although it is heavily derived from existing sources and some readers may find its quirky switching-back-and-forth style annoying.

Product Description
Conceived in desperation after the Battle of the Bulge in January 1945, Germany's Operation Nordwind culminated in the frozen Alsatian fields surrounding the Zorn River. The American 12th Armored Division and the German 10th Waffen SS Panzer Division squared off for what was expected to be an easy offensive near the villages of Herrlisheim and Weyersheim. Neither army could have forseen the savage violence that ensued. Combining the vivid eyewitness accounts of veterans from both sides of the conflict with information gleaned from a variety of long-unavailable print sources, this richly detailed history casts a fascinating light on a little-known but crucial battle in the Second World War. It serves as a tribute to the common soldiers who stalwartly carried out near-impossible orders. ... Read more

Product Description
One of the most influential figures in the history of photography, Edward Steichen (1879-1973) was also one of the most precocious. Born in Luxembourg, raised in Wisconsin, and trained as a lithographer's apprentice, Steichen took up photography in his teens and by age twenty-three had created brooding tonalist landscapes and brilliant psychological studies that won the praise of Alfred Stieglitz in New York and Auguste Rodin in Paris, among others. Over the next decade, this young man--the preferred portraitist of the elite of two continents--was repeatedly acclaimed as the peerless master of the painterly photograph. This volume, covering the period from the late 1890s to World War I, highlights masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which houses the finest collection of Steichen's early work in the world, and reproduces them in near-facsimile through four-color digital offset lithography.

Steichen worked with a designer's inventive eye, a Symbolist's poetic sensibility, an entrepreneur's charisma, and--above all--the originality and finesse of a creative and painstaking printer to establish ambitious new standards in artistic photography. Overlaying the subtle tone-poetry of his platinum prints with repeated washes of harmonious color, he created unforgettable images. In his three famous twilight views of New York's Flatiron Building, one of the landmarks of turn-of-the-century architecture, Steichen crafted a powerful symbol of a new age. His stunning sequence of Rodin's Balzac figure in the moonlight is presented here as are his nudes, with their frankly erotic sense of flesh and weight. And the intense energy of a decade comes to life in his portraits of a diverse cast ranging from Richard Strauss to J. P. Morgan, Maurice Maeterlinck to George Bernard Shaw--and Steichen himself, the founding auteur of a century of celebrity. In the accompanying text, Joel Smith explores Steichen's maturing artistry in the light of contemporary developments in photography, graphic design, and the decorative arts.

This is a stunning visual record of the emergence of Steichen as a great artist and is one of the most important books to be published on his life and work in recent years. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A book of evocative images
Too much of contemporary photography is either clichéd or uninspired, and worse, too many people with digital cameras think they're in the same class as the masters of photography. Photography is more than just snapping away. When done right, photography is art...the product of previsualization and postvisualization (to borrow a couple of terms from other photographers). This book is partly a biography of Steichen and partly an exceptionally well printed collection of his pictorialist (painterly) photographs. My advice to would-be fine-art photographers is to study the work of Steichen and other masters of photography, as well as fine art in general. They understood lighting and composition, and their works are waiting for you to absorb them. BTW, contemporary photographyer Joyce Tenneson also captures the mood and tone of Steichen's work.

5-0 out of 5 stars Fine Work by a Great Master of Photography
While he may be better know for his later work, Edward Steichen was one of the greatest Pictorialists around during his early years.This book contains an excellent selection of his early work.If you like this period in photography, it's one of the best books you can buy.The work is breathtaking.

5-0 out of 5 stars Steichen; Early Master
This is an excellent photography book. It highlights the early career of this true master of the medium. Steichen's work rivals his contemporaries Steiglitz and Strand.A must have for any serious collector of photographymonographs. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A marvellous overview of Luftwaffe fighters in the East
This is a collection of hundreds of rare photgraphs of German fighters in Russia during World War II all with very interesting captions. The reader gets the impression that he walks among the great aces with triple digit scores of victories and in the primitive airfields set in the Russian steppe. The youthfull faces of countless German pilots with the Knight's Cross around their neck fill this book, as well photos of the famous Bf-109s and Fw-190s, some of them showing the interesting artwork on their rudders depicting very impressive victory scores. The book is highly recommended to anyone interested in the Luftwaffe aces!! One wonders how the Red Air Force survived after the merciless slaughter it suffered at the hands of those terrific aces. ... Read more
