New Orleans Carnival Krewes: The History, Spirit & Secrets of Mardi Gras
Highlighted Features
“The traditions, the secret societies and the history of how New Orleans and Mardi Gras came to be as integral to each other as red beans and rice” (Blogcritics). New Orleans is practically synonymous with Mardi Gras. Both evoke the parades, the beads, the costumes, the food—the pomp and circumstance. The carnival krewes are the backbone of this Big Easy tradition. Every year, different krewes put on extravagant parties and celebrations to commemorate the beginning of the Lenten season. Historic krewes like Comus, Rex, and Zulu that date back generations are intertwined with the greater history of New Orleans itself. Today, new krewes are inaugurated and widen a once exclusive part of New Orleans society. Through careful and detailed research of over three hundred sources, including fifty interviews with members of these organizations, author and New Orleans native Rosary O’Neill explores this storied institution, its antebellum roots and its effects in the twenty-first century. Includes photos! “[A] spirited and richly illustrated account.” —New York Theatre Wire

The Xviiith Century, Its Institutions, Customs, and Costumes: France, 1700-1789 (Classic Reprint)
Highlighted Features
Excerpt from The Xviiith Century, Its Institutions, Customs, and Costumes: France, 1700-1789The favourable reception accorded to M. Paul Lacroix's studies of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, has induced us to ask him to bring his work down to an epoch nearer to our own, so as to obtain a complete picture of French society from its origin, and that of the Monarchy, down to the date of 1789, which ushered in a new order [of things.O'mitting the general facts of history, properly so called. And the numerous incidents of war and politics which would have required a larger scope, the author has confined his labours to the consideration of manners, customs public and private, costume, arts, sciences, and literature; and this picturesque and descriptive kind of history seems of a nature to satisfy that justifiable curiosity which characterizes the present epoch, bringing before us as it does a past, the study of which, in all its varied phases, will help us to form a judgment of the present.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Mobility of People and Things in the Early Modern Mediterranean: The Art of Travel (Routledge Research in Art History)
Highlighted Features
For centuries artists, diplomats, and merchants served as cultural intermediaries in the Mediterranean. Stationed in port cities and other entrepôts of the Mediterranean, these go-betweens forged intercultural connections even as they negotiated and sometimes promoted cultural misunderstandings. They also moved objects of all kinds across time and space. This volume considers how the mobility of art and material culture is intertwined with greater Mediterranean networks from 1580 to 1880. Contributors see the movement of people and objects as transformational, emphasizing the trajectory of objects over single points of origin, multiplicity over unity, and mutability over stasis.
