This study of plutocracy and politics in New York City in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries poses the following central questions: What have been the consequences of the relatively rapid democratization in America for activities and attitudes of the wealthy classes and what transformations have occurred in the political and social attitudes of the wealthier classes as a result of the increasing lower-class pressures? Gabriel Almond conducted the research for his University of Chicago dissertation in 1935–1936 in New York City. The Great Depression supplied the background events and themes.

Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Egyptian society has experienced deep changes, consisting mainly in the destruction of its traditional framework and, to some lesser degree, in the creation of modern institutions. This books deals with such developments as the settlement and detribalization of the Bedouins, the dissolution of the village community, the development of private property, the transition from Islamic criminal law to a secular westernized code, the decline and disappearance of the artisan and commercial guilds, the abolition of slavery, as well as urbanization and the beginnings of municipal government.

When in March 2020 the Covid pandemic led the Government to impose a total lockdown Gabriel Josipovici decided that he would respond to a unique situation by writing an essay a day for a hundred days, prefacing each with a diary entry, keeping track of the changing seasons as well as the pandemic. As organising and generating principle for the essays he chose the alphabet, and the result is a stimulating kaleidoscope of topics from Aachen to Zoos, passing by Alexandria, Luciano Berio, Ivy Compton-Burnett, reflections on his own early works The Echo-Chamber and Flow , Langland's "Piers Plowman," the idea of repetition in life and art, and much else. Josipovici reminds us that he has previously "plundered episodes in my life to illustrate the intertwining of memory and forgetting, the desire to remember and the need to forget," and here he has someone say to him: "You don't seem to be afraid of revealing a great deal about yourself." "I don't think I feel it that way," he responds. "I can 'reveal' precisely because it does not seem to be part of me. It seems to belong to someone else, a writer I have lived with, an immigrant I have known."

Taking its name from Bach's Goldberg Variations, as well as inspiration from its formal structure, this work hybridizes breezy philosophical meditation and fragment-based novel. Most of the diffused story takes place in nineteenth-century England, where a Jewish writer by the name of Goldberg is commissioned by an incessantly thoughtful insomniac to create a story each day to be told that night, hopefully thus assuaging the man's sleeplessness.

Two central themes run through this new collection of authoritative and undogmatic essays: the Jewish experience and that of the work of art as a toy to be used for dreaming and playing rather than as a window to the world. The collection includes three essays on the Bible, as well as pieces devoted to Twelfth Night, Rembrandt's self-portraits, Tristram Shandy, Kafka's stories and aphorisms, Borges, Kierkegaard, and painter Andrez Jackowski. The title essay examines the relationship of the artists' works and their ideas, and the book concludes with personal meditations on memory, the Holocaust, Jewishness, and being a writer-teacher.

The quality of today's literary writing arouses the strongest opinions. For novelist and critic Gabriel Josipovici, the contemporary novel in English is profoundly disappointing--a poor relation of its groundbreaking Modernist forebears. This agile and passionate book asks why. Modernism, Josipovici suggests, is only superficially a reaction to industrialization of a revolution in diction and form; essentially, it is art arriving at a consciousness of its own limits and responsibilities. And its origins are to be sought not in 1850 or even 1800, but in the early 1500s, with the crisis of society and perception that also led to the rise of Protestantism. With sophistication and persuasiveness, Josipovici charts some of Modernism's key stages, from Dürer, Rabelais, and Cervantes to the present, bringing together a rich array of artists, musicians, and writers both familiar and unexpected--including Beckett, Borges, Friedrich, Cézanne, Stevens, Robbe-Grillet, Beethoven, and Wordsworth. He concludes with a stinging attack on the current literary scene in Britain and America, which raises questions not only about national taste, but about contemporary culture itself. Gabriel Josipovici has spent a lifetime writing and writing about other writers. This book is a strident call to arms and a tour de force of literary, artistic, and philosophical explication that will stimulate anyone interested in art in the twentieth century and today.

About the Author The Author: Dr. Gabriel P. Weisberg is Professor of Art History at the University of Minnesota and was recently Regents Fellow at the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Dr. Weisberg has published widely on French art of the nineteenth century including The Realist Tradition: French Painting and Drawing, 1830-1900, Art Nouveau Bing, and currently Beyond Impressionism, The Naturalist Impulse. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and has served as a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey. Product Description As one of the most vigorous and independent of French nineteenth century art critics, Philippe Burty (1830-1890) often supported areas and issues that other critics overlooked. He was among the first to support the new renaissance in printmaking (essentially in etching) and his articles on the decorative arts, the need for reforms in the exhibition system and his support of younger painters were well known. His primary contribution was in championing Japonisme (the taste for all things Japanese) in France and in coinig the name by which this tendency was identified. He also avidly spoke up for the Impressionists in both French and English articles at a time when few did. Burty was also a creative collector whose tastes in journalistic writing were reflected in what he had in his own home. In all these ways he demonstrated an advanced attitude. Review «The erudition gathered in Weisberg's book gives it a significance well beyond that of a mere monograph. ... Weisberg's work meets the highest criteria of scholarly research. ...we are left with a valuable piece of documentation, which will now be a 'sine qua non' for historians of the period.» (Philippe Junod, Apollo)
