Review The Collected Letters of Peter Warlock (Philip Heseltine), 4-Volume Set / Boydell Press:The composer Philip Heseltine (1894-1930), better known by his pseudonym 'Peter Warlock', is one of the most fascinating characters in twentieth-century English music. Educated at Eton and Oxford, yet musically largely self-taught, he is considered by many to be one of the great English song-writers. But besides being a composer, he was also an important pioneer editor of early music as well as the author of a number of books and numerous articles for newspapers and journals. His eccentric life-style, his outspoken comments and writings about music, as well as the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death, have all ensured that the 'Warlock legend' has not lost its fascination over the years. During his short life he was a prolific and highly articulate letter writer and some thousand of his letters have survived. These, Warlock scholar and authority Barry Smith, has edited with copious annotations and footnotes as well as providing generous background material. Besides giving new insights into Warlock's mercurial character, these letters illuminate the first thirty years of the twentieth century with fascinating glimpses of some of the great names in the world of music, art, and literature.

Review Anton Bruckner: A Documentary Biography : From Ansfelden to Vienna (Studies in the History and Interpretation of Music, 83a) / Edwin Mellen Press:This study provides a fuller account of Bruckner's early and middle years than has hitherto been available, and supplements the more accessible information about his years in Vienna by drawing on a rich source of material in contemporary reviews of performances of his works, comparisons between him and Brahms, and the well-documented accounts of hostility between the "conservative" pro-Brahms faction (represented by Hanslick, Halbeck and others) and the "progressive" pro-Wagner and pro-Bruckner faction (represented by the Schalk brothers, Ferdinand Lowe and Hugo Wolf).

Review A Historical Dictionary of British Women / Europa Publications:Containing biographies of more than 1,000 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, this new reference is an absorbing record of female achievement over the past 2,000 years in Britain. Offering invaluable information on the evolution of the female role in British society, this one-stop reference covers women whose work brought them before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons for women in Britain, as well as women who influenced events in a more indirect way, such as the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting, and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this completely revised and updated edition includes key figures from the last 20 years, such as the Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings, and Christina Foyle.

Review The Influence of French Language and Culture in the Lives of Eight Women Writers of Russian Heritage (Studies in French Literature (Lewiston, N.Y.), V. 61.) / Edwin Mellen Press:Zoe Oldenbourg's life was one shared by seven other writers discussed in this book. These women, Catherine the Great, Princess Catherine Dashkova, Marie Bashkirtseff, the Comtesse de Segur, Nathalie Sarraute, Elsa Triolet, and Irene Nemirovsky, found their lives inextricably linked to both Russia and France. Imbued with the culture, history and tradition of their homeland, they embraced all things French. Speaking Russian fluently, they wrote their journals and novels in French.

Review Empresses and Power in Early Byzantium (Women, Power & Politics) / Continuum International Publishing Group:Examining the role and position of the Byzantine empress between the fourth and the eighth centuries, this work explores the nature of female imperial power and contrasts it with male power. Was there such a thing as the "office of emperor/empress", or did power depend on individual personalities? This text investigates five questions: who the empress is; how she is titled; how she is talked about; what she looks like; and what she does. The period under discussion takes the reader from the empress-mother Helena, the first overtly Christian empress, to the only "female" emperor in Byzantine history, Eirene, and encompasses the time of the transition from the Roman world to the medieval.

Review Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Westen Cultures / Springer:This reference contains almost 6000 entries dealing with the history of the scientific, technological and medical accomplishments of cultures outside of the USA and Europe. It aims to bring together knowledge of many disparate fields in one place and to legitimize the study of other cultures' science. No superiority is claimed for other cultures, rather the aim is a mutual exchange of ideas. There are inter-cultural articles on a broad range of topics, such as mathematics and astronomy; philosophical articles on concepts and ideas related to the study of non-Western science, such as rationality, objectivity and method, religion and science, East and West, and magic and science; and more factual ones on topics such as China and the Islamic world, where individual scientists are known to us. Readers can compare disciplines across cultures (Chinese mathematics, trigonometry, maps, medicine, geography etc), and cultures across disciplines (for example, Islamic, Chinese, Indo-Malay, African, and native American astronomy). The entries are arranged alphabetically, with many cross-references, and bibliographies enable readers to move on to the scholarly literature.

Review The Brontes: Family History / Routledge:This eclectic resource allows readers to examine some of the most fascinating documents in the Bronte story. The hard-to-obtain material in this unique collection-which includes contemporary biographies, pamphlets, press cuttings, critical responses, correspondence and early visitors' accounts of Haworth and its neighbourhood-puts this extraordinary and tragically short-lived literary family into the topographical, familial and social context of their times. For those seeking to uncover the "true stories" beneath the Bronte myth, this set is an invaluable source of information. Appropriately, 1997 sees the 150th anniversary of publication of Charlotte, Emily and Anne's first novels.

Review Mermaids on Parade: America's Love Affair With Its First Women Swimmers / Troitsa Books:This book presents stories with interviews and voice tapes taken by more than two dozen mermaids themselves. It is profusely illustrated with glamour photographs from their heyday. The book contains the first in depth interview with Gertrude Ederle in 50 years - her glamorous yet tragic life as the first woman to swim the English Channel, the single most significant impact on women's liberation. It includes interesting anecdotes and never before published chapters on Esther Williams, Eleanor Holm, Annette Kellerman and Aileen Riggin. America and the world loved these courageous athletes 'Queens of the Rotogravure' who were not afraid to show their feminine side to the camera. While they played hard, they also worked hard to succeed in a man's world. It was the golden age of swimming. These women were the pioneers and role models for today's athletes. These were the first women athletes who dominated women's sport for 50 years (1907-1957) who rose to glory in the Roaring '20's by doing it all; mastering sport in a men's world with grace, beauty and personality. These mermaids made us all want to learn to swim.
