Included is the Ambarkanta or ' Shape of the World', the only account ever given of the nature of the imagined universe, and it is accompanied by diagrams and maps of the world before and after the cataclysms of the War of the Jewels and the Downfall of Numenor. The first map of B eleriand, in the north-west of Middle-Earth, is also reproduced and discussed. In the Annals of Valinor and the Annals of Beleriand the chronology of the First Age is given shape; and with these are given the fragments of translations into Anglo-Sax on made by AElfwine, the Englishman who voyaged into the True West and came to Tol Eressea, the Lonely Isle, where he learned the ancient history of Elves and Men. Also included are the original 'Silmarillion', written in 1926, from which all the la ter development proceeded, and the Quenta Noldorinwa of 1930, the only version of the myths and legends of the First Age that J.R.R.

This book interrogates Uttar Pradesh’s identity as India’s “heartland” and unravels the historical processes that have shaped this region. In looking at this constructed identity of the state it argues that UP’s existence as a “region” cannot be taken uncritically as a given, considering the complex and divergent traditions that have been constituent of the state. It makes the case that UP has been imagined in multiple ways and explores five such distinct, though overlapping, constructions through its modern history: UP as a “colonial heartland”, as a “nationalist heartland”, as a “Hindu heartland”, as a “Muslim heartland”, and finally as a “postcolonial heartland”. The book closely examines UP’s transformation from a colonial to a postcolonial society, looking at issues of identities, mobilization and governance. With its size, location and demography, UP has occupied a distinct position within India’s body politic. In the last two decades, the state has seen dramatic political change, marked by fragmentation along lines of religion, region, class and caste. Region, Nation, “Heartland” offers insights into factors that lie behind this social and political churning, which promises to transform not just UP, but India itself. The book offers a fresh perspective into the dynamics of how “regions” have contributed to the projects of state and nation-building in South Asia.

New Haven & London: Yale University Press, 2000. 461 Pages Indexed. Bluecloth with gold spine lettering. The extraordinary richness of ancient Rome was recurring inspiration to writers, artists, scholars and architects in 16th century France. McGowan explores the ways in which the perception of Rome as a physical and symbolic entity stimulated intellectdual endeavour across the disciplines. The French vision of Rome was initially determined by travel journals, guidebooks and a rapidly developing trade in antiquities. Against this background the author examines work by writers such as Du bellay, Grevin, Montaigne and Garnier, and by architects and artists such as Philibert de L'Orme and Jean Cousin, showing how they drew upon classical ruins and reconstructions not only to re-enact past meanings and achievements but also, more dynamically, to interpret the present.She describes how Renaissance Rome, enhanced by the presence of so many signs of ancient grandeur, provided a fertile source of intellectual and artistic creativity. Study of the fragments of the past tempted writers to an imaginative reconstruction of whole forms, while the new structures they created in France revealed the artistic potency of the incomplete and the fragmentary. McGowan carries the underlying themes of the book -- perception, impediments to seeing, and artistic transformation -- to the end of the 16th century when they culminated in the transfer to France of the grandeur that was Rome. Illustrated with 101 figures and 12 color plates. Contents in Eight Chapters: Voyages, The Guidebook, Appropriation and Transformation, The Transporters, Visions Transported The Creative Power of Ruins, Fragments and Wholes, Negative Responses and Reverse Appropriation, and Two Distilled Models of Rome.
