This is the second presentation by these editors of a collection of essays dealing with the changing point of view relative to morals, particularly as they affect the marital state. The contributions to this volume include all of those names that have become prominent in the field of psychology and sociology. The one question that arises in the mind of the critic is whether or not it is wise to distribute for general reading to a popular audience such discussions of sex perversion as this volume makes available. The essays are all of interest, although many of the authors are unnecessarily verbose.

"'Quilt Art' brings together some of Britain's finest quiltmakers in an attempt to challenge preconceptions about the nature of quiltmaking; to extend the boundaries of the medium and increase its recognition as an art form. Nottingham's long textile tradition made it an obvious venue for staging such an exhibition, especially as two of the 'Quilt Art' members live and work within the city, Eiluned Edwards and Pauline Burbidge. The history of American and British quiltmaking has been interwoven for so long, both countries have contributed to each others development. However, in recent years, quiltmaking has enjoyed a renaissance in America which has greatly inspired and influenced British quiltmakers." --Foreword, p. 4

"Upon his death in 1953 David Milne was hailed by art critic Clement Greenberg as one of the greatest artists of the time. Among Milne's many achievements was the invention of the multiple-plate colour drypoint. This entirely new process was the simplest of techniques. Lines are scratched into copper or zinc plates, creating a residual metal "burr" that later catches the ink, creating soft lines more akin to drawing than to the finely detailed lines of etching or engraving. Milne exploited his invention to gorgeous effect but despite - or perhaps because of - his mastery of it, other artists did not follow suit. Decades later, John Hartman was inspired to take up the technique and has produced a remarkable body of prints that shares much in common with Milne's oeuvre, in aesthetic, geographic, and spiritual terms. In order to explore the affinities between the two artists, this publication brings together forty-two prints by Milne and Hartman, including Hartman's spectacular Cities series, which demonstrates his continuing drive to push the limits of the drypoint technique. Two scholarly essays and a conversation between John Hartman and the son of David Milne are accompanied by forty-two full-page colour plates. Rosemarie Tovell is former curator at the National Gallery of Canada and a leading authority on David Milne. Anne-Marie Ninacs is former curator of contemporary art at the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec."--BOOK JACKET.
