English | ISBN: 3031324900 | 2023 | 224 pages | EPUB, PDF | 7 MB + 4 MB
This book interrogates the relationship between the material conditions of Woolf’s writing practices and her work as a printer and publisher at the Hogarth Press. In bringing to light her embodied literary processes, from drafting and composition to hand-printing and binding, this study foregrounds the interactions between Woolf’s modernist experimentation and the visual and material aspects of her printed works. By drawing on the field of print culture, as well as the materialist turn in Woolf scholarship, it explores how her experience in print, book-design and publishing underlines her experimental writing, and how her literary texts are conditioned by the context of their production. This book, therefore, provides new ways of reading Woolf’s modernism in the context of twentieth-century print, material, and visual cultures. By suggesting that Woolf’s work at the Hogarth Press sensitized her to the significant role the visual aspects of a text play in its system of representation, it also considers the extent to which materiality informs both her work, as well as her engagement with Bloomsbury formalist aesthetics, which often exaggerate the distinction between visual and verbal modes of expression.

Free Download Ian Calvert, "Virgil’s English Translators: Civil Wars to Restoration "
English | ISBN: 1474475647 | 2021 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book considers the writers who translated Virgil into English during the English civil wars, the Interregnum and the early years of the Stuart Restoration (c. 1636-c. 1661). It argues that these writers translated Virgil in order to display and interrogate their political loyalties, articulate personal responses to past traumas and express their hopes for the country’s future. All of Virgil’s English translators in this period were in some way associated with the royalist cause, but the political elements of their respective translations demonstrate that royalism itself was not a monolithic political standpoint and instead encompassed a wide variety of opinions regarding the policy of individual monarchs and the institution of monarchy.

Einblicke in einer verborgene WeltViren sind Grenzgänger des Lebens. Mikroskopisch klein, als Krankheitserreger gefürchtet, doch in ihrer Vielfalt und in ihrer Bedeutung für die biologischen Netzwerke auf der Erde und für die Evolution des Lebens erst ansatzweise verstanden – und immer wieder für Überraschungen gut. Viren sind Opportunisten, die oft geduldig auf ihre Chance warten – in Ruhestadien oder eingebettet in das Erbgut ihrer Wirte -, und Meister der Anpassung.

Free Download Paul E. Winters, "Vinyl Records and Analog Culture in the Digital Age: Pressing Matters"
English | ISBN: 1498510078 | 2016 | 208 pages | PDF | 970 KB
Vinyl Records and Analog Culture in the Digital Age: Pressing Matters examines the resurgence of vinyl record technologies in the twenty-first century and their place in the history of analog sound and the recording industry. It seeks to answer the questions: why has this supposedly outmoded format made a comeback in a digital culture into which it might appear to be unwelcome? Why, in an era of disembodied pleasures afforded to us in this age of cloud computing would listeners seek out this remnant of the late nineteenth century and bring it seemingly back from the grave? Why do many listeners believe vinyl, with its obvious drawbacks, to be a superior format for conveying music to the relatively noiseless CD or digital file? This book looks at the ways in which music technologies are both inflected by and inflect human interactions, creating discourses, practices, disciplines, and communities.

Free Download Vibrations of Engineering Structures by C. A. Brebbia , G. B. Warburton , R. R. Wilson , H. Tottenham , J. M. Wilson
English | PDF | 1985 | 309 Pages | ISBN : 3540139591 | 17.9 MB
The increasing size and complexity of new structural forces in engineering have made it necessary for designers to be aware of their dynamic behaviour. Dynamics is a subject which has traditionally been poorly taught in most engineering courses. This book was conceived as a way of providing engineers with a deeper knowledge of dynamic analysis and of indicating to them how some of the new vibrations problems can be solved. The authors start from basic principles to end up with the latest random vibration applications. The book originated 1n a week course given annually by the authors at the Computational Mechanics Centre, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, England. Special care was taken to ensure continuity in the text and notations. Southampton 1984 CONTENTS Page Foreword Chapter 1 Introduction to Vibration 1. Introductory Remarks 1 2.

Free Download George C. Paraskeviotis, "Vergils Eclogues"
English | ISBN: 1527540944 | 2020 | 526 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Between 42 and 39 BC, Vergil composed the first Latin pastoral collection, entitled Eclogues, and consisting of ten poems in the form in which it has come down to us. Vergils Eclogues represent the introduction of a new genre, the pastoral, to Latin literature, and recall the Hellenistic poet Theocritus who invented this genre. The fact that the Roman author inserts into the text elements from other Greek and Latin texts modifying them through innovations and changes (constitutes an attractive field of research. This book shows that Vergils dialogue with the earlier Greek and Latin tradition is not only typical of the way in which Latin literature was written in the 1st century BC; rather, it is also a dynamic literary method used to affect and define the character of each Eclogue.
