Book Description
In this Companion, eminent British and American scholars offer a guide to the revolutionary cultural transformations of the first decades of the twentieth century. Chapters on the major literary genres, on intellectual, political and institutional contexts, and on film and the visual arts, provide close analyses and a broader set of interpretive narratives. A Chronology and Guide to Further Reading supply valuable orientation within the field. Students will find much-needed help with the difficulties of approaching Modernism, while the essays' original contributions will send scholars back to this volume for stimulating reevaluation.

A must for curious readers of modernist works!.......2000-05-07
The Companion is especially for you, if you are the one who wants to know more about modernism, including the background of the period, the novels, the plays, the gender issues, and even the visual arts and the films. Reading the book together with "Modernism 1890-1930," edited by Malcolm Bradbury and James McFarlane, you will find yourself more familiar with modernism and you are most likely to dig deeper and deeper.
Book Description
Original essays by twelve distinguished international scholars offer critical overviews of the major genres, literary culture, and social contexts that define the current state of scholarship. This Companion also features a chronology of key events and publication dates covering the first half of the twentieth century in the United States. The introductory reference guide concludes with a current bibliography of further reading organized by chapter topics.
Book Description
The Harlem Renaissance (1918–1937) was the most influential single movement in African American literary history. Its key figures include W. E. B. Du Bois, Nella Larsen, Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay, and Langston Hughes. The movement laid the groundwork for all later African American literature, and had an enormous impact on later black literature world-wide. With chapters by a wide range of well-known scholars, this Companion is an authoritative and engaging guide to the movement. It first discusses the historical contexts of the Harlem Renaissance, both national and international; then presents original discussions of a wide array of authors and texts; and finally treats the reputation of the movement in later years. Giving full play to the disagreements and differences that energized the renaissance, this Companion presents the best of current wisdom as well as a set of new readings encouraging further exploration of this dynamic field.

A glance at this book's table of contents gives you an idea of its intentions: "Developing your own pace; Where to begin; Displays can dramatize--but don't let them fool you; There's no rule on how long it takes to appreciate a masterpiece." David Finn encourages museumgoers to rely on their own impressions. In the first sentence of the first chapter, he writes that there is "no right or wrong way to visit a museum." Finn gives a general overview of the layout of a museum and uses illustrations from museums around the world to present basic art history concepts and ways of looking at artwork. With practical information he encourages museum visitors to feel comfortable, confident, and develop their own sensibilities in a museum--instead of relying on someone else's. "Discrimination," Finn writes, "is a necessary component of appreciation."

A how to book and that's about it.......2005-08-21
David Finn's How to Visit a Museum is a good starter book for one who wants a quick starter course in museums and art. What to look for and how to view art. I think this would be a great book for teachers and new art students. I bought this book second hand and enjoyed it as a quick refresher course. However as a whole it seemed more of a short book for tourists, as I finished it in sitting. However if you want to read a book before you travel to a large museum I would highly recommend this as a starter book for a journey into the world of art.
Interested in art? Not sure what to do? Check out this book........1997-02-12
Ever felt obliged to stop by an art museum while on vacation just because you were in the area, but then you weren't quite sure what to do once you got there? If so, this may be the book for you. David Finn's easy-to-read text presents many thoughtful ideas on how to really get something out of your next trip to a museum. The book is filled with copious photographs of artwork and art museums (some in color, some black and white, all reproduced with the high quality you'd expect from Abrams) that do an excellent job of complimenting the points made in the text. It's a book you'll want to read cover-to-cover at least once, and then come back and sample bits over and over again - just the way you may end up visiting your local art museum once you've read this fine book

Book Description
From mid-century masters Charles Addams and Saul Steinberg, through contemporary cartoonists Art Spiegelman and Roz Chast, New Yorker artists have depicted The Guggenheim with wit and insight. This book brings together five decades worth of cartoons and cover illustrations that feature the iconic museum, along with period photographs that reveal the artists' inspirations. According to Robert Mankoff, "The cartoonists of The New Yorker brilliantly and hilariously illuminate both the reality of New York and the city of our imaginations."

Book Description
This book guides teachers in planning innovative local visits to museums to achieve cross curricular learning, and shows how the excitement of these visits permeates teaching right across the curriculum.
This practical and stimulating book has three distinct elements. It shows the excitement and inter-action that even ordinary objects can stimulate. Case studies illustrate how cross curricular projects have helped schools achieve their own learning objectives. Step-by-step guidance empowers teachers to develop their own projects. Examples and quotations from many teachers and museum and gallery educators enliven the text.
This book will principally interest primary and secondary school teachers, but also museum and gallery education staff and local authority and regional arts board education specialists
