L'illustrazione Italiana è stata una rivista settimanale italiana con sede a Milano, pubblicata ininterrottamente dal 1873 al 1962 per un totale di quasi 5 000 numeri. Fondata a Milano con la testata «Nuova illustrazione universale», fu edita dalla casa editrice Fratelli Treves, fondata da Emilio Treves, il quale fu anche il primo direttore della rivista. L'illustrazione italiana comincia ad avere un'ampia diffusione negli ambienti della medio-alta borghesia, grazie alla qualità degli articoli e soprattutto delle illustrazioni, spesso affidate ad artisti di primo piano come Achille Beltrame, Pietro Scoppetta, Luigi Bompard, Giuseppe Cosenza ed Ettore Ximenes (il quale svolgeva anche le funzioni di vicedirettore), tale qualità fu mantenuta poi nel tempo anche in seguito all'avvento della fotografia, tecnica che vide rappresentati sulle pagine dell'«Illustrazione» alcuni tra i migliori fotogiornalisti nazionali: Armando Bruni, Mario Crimella, Giulio Parisio ed Emilio Sommariva. Per i testi il periodico si avvalse della collaborazione, in qualità di articolisti, di alcuni dei nomi più importanti della letteratura italiana, fra cui ricordiamo Giosuè Carducci, Grazia Deledda e Luigi Pirandello (premi Nobel per la letteratura), lo scrittore verista Giovanni Verga, il poeta Gabriele D'Annunzio, il critico letterario e favolista Luigi Capuana ed Edmondo De Amicis, autore del celeberrimo romanzo ""Cuore"", capolavoro della letteratura per ragazzi. La grande fortuna dell'Illustrazione Italiana durò fino alla morte di Emilio Treves (1916), dopo la quale, pur avendo ancora tra i propri collaboratori scrittori del calibro di Eugenio Montale, Elio Vittorini, Salvatore Quasimodo, Riccardo Bacchelli, Italo Pietra, Niccolò Giani e Sergio Solmi, la rivista cominciò a mostrare i segni di un lento declino. La promulgazione delle leggi razziali fasciste accelerò il processo in atto: nel 1939 la Treves dovette cedere l'azienda alla Garzanti. Verso la metà del 1942, in seguito agli eventi della seconda guerra mondiale, L'illustrazione rallentò le sue uscite, fino ad essere trasformata in mensile nel 1951 da Livio Garzanti. Gli anni cinquanta videro la crescita vertiginosa dei rotocalchi, settimanali popolari di attualità. «L'Illustrazione Italiana» vide ridursi progressivamente il suo spazio, finché Garzanti la chiuse nel 1962. L'editore Guanda riprese la testata alla fine del 1981 e la ripubblicò con periodicità bimestrale. Il tentativo non incontrò sufficiente fortuna e la rivista fu chiusa nel 1996.

"The world of the arts has been devastated by AIDS. Few performing or visual artists have escaped the epidemic's impingement upon either their own lives or those of close friends and mentors. But beyond this obvious impact, AIDS has had - and is having - an ultimately more far-reaching effect: it has changed the very form and content of contemporary art. As artists struggle to understand, interpret, and express the complex emotions and politics arising from the epidemic, a new art, perhaps even a new aesthetic, is now emerging. Over the past ten years, AIDS has become an increasingly prevalent theme in drama, dance, music, film, television, painting, photography, and theater. Many artists have encapsulated their rage, grief, and resistance - and even, occasionally, a kind of transformational acceptance of fate - by channeling that experience into their art. Together, they have produced a remarkably rich body of work. The panoply of the art of AIDS is as rich as the range of the artists who are responding to the epidemic. In The Art of AIDS, Rob Baker examines this new aesthetic, revealing not just the expected themes of death and dying, disease and disability, but also the issues of spirituality and healing, political and social action, sexuality and responsibility, isolation and community, racism and heterosexism. AIDS increasingly affects everyone, but the response of the gay community, which was devastated first and which rallied so valiantly, is central to this study. Perhaps it is only through the risks taken by AIDS-affected artists that stigma can be turned into conscience, denial into consciousness, and grief into renewal." - Publisher.

New York. 1981. July 1981. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0670287121. 407 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Eric Bramall/Faber and Faber Ltd. keywords: Poetry England Biography. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This important new book casts a brilliant light on W. H. Auden's poems and plays, but it also does a great deal more. Mr. Mendelson's account of Auden's work from the start of his career until his departure for America in 1939 is a richly detailed history of a major writer's artistic, intellectual, emotional, and political growth as he responded to the pressures and possibilities of the modern era. EARLY AUDEN also illustrates important and unfamiliar ways of thinking about literature and about the ethical and social implications of a poet's use of language and form. Edward Mendelson, the American scholar and critic who is Auden's literary executor, has a uniquely full knowledge of his subject and a special authority in handling the extensive and scrupulously gathered material that has gone into this remarkable work. For all its range and variety, EARLY AUDEN is written as vivid and sharply focussed narrative. Mr. Mendelson brings dramatic intensity and intellectual excitement to his account of Auden's rapidly changing attitudes and methods in the crisis years of the 1930s. He shows why each of Auden's poems came to be written, their sources in Auden's personal and literary experience, and how the problems Auden discovered in writing them affected the course of his life. Quotations from unpublished verse and prose reveal aspects of Auden's work and personality that have never been discussed before. Among the many subjects treated in this book are Auden's complex reaction to his modernist predecessors, his varied work in theatre and documentary film, his transformations of the teachings of Freud and Marx, his changing conception of his public role as a writer, and his growing sense of the dilemmas of human limitation and choice. EARLY AUDEN not only clarifies the shape and detail of some of the most extraordinary writings of this century, but also contributes significantly to our understanding of the modernist tradition and its heritage. inventory #37343 ISBN: 0670287121., 0, New York: Continuum, 1994. 255 pages, colour illustrations; 23 cm.

She is noted for both her dramatic works, including Aria da capo, The Lamp and the Bell, and the libretto composed for an opera, The King's Henchman, and for such lyric verses as 'Renascence' and the poems found in the collections A Few Figs From Thistles, Second April, and The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Like her contemporary Robert Frost, Millay was one of the most skillful writers of sonnets in the twentieth century, and also like Frost, she was able to combine modernist attitudes with traditional forms creating a unique American poetry. But Millay's popularity as a poet had at least as much to do with her person: she was known for her riveting readings and performances, her progressive political stances, frank portrayal of both hetero and homosexuality, and, above all, her embodiment and description of new kinds of female experience and expression." - Poetry Foundation, Harper & Brothers, 1931-01-01, 3, New York: Continuum, 1994. 255 pages, colour illustrations; 23 cm.
