The Theory of Decorative Art: An Anthology of European and American Writings, 1750-1940 by Isabelle Frank, ISBN 0300088051
This anthology gathers together the most significant writings on the theory of the decorative arts from the mid-eighteenth century to the 1940s. The volume offers the first history of the theory of decorative art as it emerged in the West and reconstructs the debates over how to define this category of art and distinguish it from the fine arts (music, poetry, architecture, painting, and sculpture).
The selections include well-known texts and less familiar writings, many translated into English for the first time, that reveal how architects, designers, and critics as well as sociologists and historians have thought and written about decorative art. Through the writings of such thinkers as Diderot, Riegl, Wolfflin, Goethe, Ruskin, Elias, Wright, and Loos, the anthology traces the shifting nature of the boundaries between decorative and fine art over two centuries. These writers, faced with new art forms that challenged accepted notions of art, elaborated aesthetic theories capable of encompassing both decorative and fine art. By recovering theoretical debates about decorative art, this book helps to dispel the confusion surrounding this artistic category. It also offers suggestive contributions to contemporary debates, focusing on the same question of the nature of art that animated earlier writers.
The Ride Down Mt. Morgan by Arthur Miller, ISBN 014048244X
Lyman Felt is a dynamic and vigorous man who has it all: a thriving insurance business, fame as a poet, children who adore him -- and two women claiming to be his wife. Restrained, conservative Theo and independent, opinionated Leah meet in the hospital where Lyman is recovering from a car wreck, having driven in a blizzard on Mount Morgan. The women's shock at Lyman's bigamy and Lyman's justification of his actions create a whirlwind of hard truths and painful memories into which Lyman's daughter, his best friend, and even the nurse taking care of him are drawn.
One of America's greatest and most renowned playwrights, Arthur Miller crafts a drama of love, betrayal, and the hunger to reach the limits of human experience and desire.
This new edition of Arthur Miller's 1991 play includes the revisions he made for the acclaimed 1998 Public Theater production starring Patrick Stewart.

The Bostonians by James, ISBN 0812969960
This brilliant satire of the women's rights movement in America is the story of the ravishing inspirational speaker Verena Tarrant and the bitter struggle between two distant cousins who seek to control her. Will the privileged Boston feminist Olive Chancellor succeed in turning her beloved ward into a celebrated activist and lifetime companion? Or will Basil Ransom, a conservative southern lawyer, steal Verena's heart and remove her from the limelight?
""The Bostonians" has a vigor and blithe wit found nowhere else in James," writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction. "It is about idealism in a democracy that is still recovering from a civil war bitterly fought for social ideals . . . ?written? with a ferocious, precise, detailed--and wildly comic--realism.
