New Books From Faculty Coming This Fall
This fall, the Center is pleased to announce the publication of three new books that received subventions from the Center.
In late August, Oxford University Press published Brooke L. Blower‘s (HI) Americans in a World at War: Intimate Histories from the Crash of Pan Am’s Yankee Clipper. In her latest book, Blower uses a single flight to convey the scope and range of American engagement with the world and focus on the stories of noncombatants during World War II.
This month, MIT Press published Cathie Jo Martin‘s (PO) Education for All?: Literature, Culture and Education Development in Britain and Denmark. Cathie Jo Martin explores the role that fiction writers and their literary narratives had in influencing public education campaigns throughout the nineteenth-century. The book may also be available Open Access.
Next month, look out for Andrew Shenton‘s (STH, CFA) Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalîla-symphonie, published by Cambridge University Press. Using previously untranslated information from Messiaen’s own description of the work, Shenton seeks to demystify some of the complex innovations Messiaen made to his musical language.
