Book Description
Collecting China is a unique collection of essays that brings together theories of materiality and what collecting has meant to various peoples over time. Collecting China grew out of a simple question: how does a thing become Chinese? Fifteen essays explore this question from different angles, ranging from close examination of world-renowned private collections to critical reinterpretations of historical writings.
Marginal Voices, Marginal Forms

Book Description
Diaristic writing has often been relegated to the fringes of literary studies as a marginal cultural activity. This volume seeks to challenge that marginality by exploring some of the wide-ranging forms of literary practice encompassed by diaristic writing in Europe from the Renaissance to the present day. The volume deals with questions of the value and status of the diary, of the functioning of the diary in society and history, and of the reception and interpretation of the multifarious forms of first-person daily writing. The volume investigates diaries across national borders and linguistic boundaries, so as to make the hitherto marginal place of the private journal a site of fruitful interdisciplinary encounters. Australian, British, Catalonian, French, German and Italian critics examine diaries dating from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, within the context of the literature, history and literary history of Catalonia, England, France, Germany and Italy. A prime concern of the essays in this collection is to highlight the cultural, generic and historical diversity of the diary, while emphasising the points of convergence between different texts and differing critical approaches to the texts. The volume will be of interest to students and teachers of European and comparative literature.

Book Description
This is the first book in any language to digest what foreign writers have had to say about the cities of Northern Italy. French, German, and English writers, adoring Italy, have always lavished praise upon it, yet no one has ever compared what they said about the places they visited. Now, here is presented the best insights of major and minor writers since 1800, the time of the French occupation of Italy when the new crop of travelers arrived to take in the sights, smells, and tastes of this land. Passages from familiar writers are collated, but this book emphasizes those writers who are less familiar, showing that much of the finest writing about Italy comes from authors now totally forgotten. Not only are the sources of the book original, but each discussion sheds new light on the cities described. To look at Verona, for example, in the light of the German presence there is as fresh as to look at Parma in the light of French responses to Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma. A new vision of the cultural history of each city emerges. The history of taste also gets its due. The book assembles reactions to monuments as varied as The Last Supper, Donatello's bronzes in Padua, and the mosaics of Ravenna.
