London: National Gallery, 2018. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Hardback. 29 × 24.5cm, 248pp. In an innovative approach, Richard Thomson considers Claude Monet's paintings of buildings in their environment, offering a reappraisal of an artist more often associated with landscapes, seascapes, and gardens. Buildings fulfilled various roles in Monet's canvases; some are chiefly compositional devices while others throw into sharp contrast the forms of man-made construction against the irregularity of nature, or suggest the absent presence of humans. The theme was both central and consistent over five decades of his 60-year career. Written by a renowned expert on Impressionism, this book covers Monet's representations of historical buildings, inner cities, beach resorts, railway bridges and stations, suburban housing, and busy harbours - subjects spanning northern France, the Mediterranean, and the cities of Rouen, London, and Venice. In addition to 75 great paintings… Read More

London: Lawrence & Wishart, 1973. Reprint. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Reprint. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14cm, 374pp. Aeschylus and Athens is far more than a study of the plays of Aeschylus and what they meant to the audience for whom they were written. It is a profound inquiry into the origins and development of Athenian democracy, and as such an inquiry into the roots of western civilisation and culture. For Professor Thomson's contention is that the plays of Aeschylus contain fundamental problems which could never be solved within the accepted limits of either conventional literary criticism or conventional classical scholarship. The Aeschylean drama is so inseparable from the social and political life of Athens that it can only be understood by studying it methodically in its full historical context. Therefore, while the primary object of this book is a better understanding of Aeschylus, it covers a much wider field, including the history of early Greek poetry, the… Read More
