 Ippitsusai Buncho / White chrysanthemums and pinks in a black vase / c. 1765/70
Context: The 'flowers of autumn' (akigusa), a principal motif in Japanese art and literature, include chrysanthemums and pinks.
Though the present print bears no calendar marks, it is elaborately embossed to bring out the petals of the white chrysanthemums and to suggest a floral decoration on the fl vase.
This is typical of the technical experimentation and meticulous workmanship of the few years following 1765, when commercial full-color printing was new.

Plus, it benefits from being the work of a single author: Punter is an extremely well-read scholar who perceives fascinating connections between a wide variety of books and films, and he explains his ideas lucidly enough that you can judge for yourself how far you agree with them.
Best of all, The Literature of Terror is written in English--that is, not loaded down with annoying words such as transgressive and trope that mar so much of postmodern criticism.
Volume One is a thoroughly updated edition of the original text, covering the period from 1765 up to the Edwardian age, exploring the richness and literary diversity of the gothic form- from the original eighteenth-century gothic of Ann Radcliffe to the melodramatic fiction of Wilkie Collins.

 OUTLINES OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE : THE COLONIAL PERIOD (1607-1765)
With its evident love of beauty and its carefulness of poetic form, it marks the beginning here of artistic literature; that is, literature which was written to please readers rather than to teach history or moral lessons.
In the literature of the world the two subjects of abiding poetic interest are nature and human nature; but as these subjects appear in Colonial records they are uniformly prosaic, and the reason is very simple.
Before nature can be the theme of poets she must assume her winsome mood, must "soothe and heal and bless" the human heart after the clamor of politics, the weariness of trade, the cruel strife of society.

 Viennese Fortepiano
But only relatively recently has it begun to be conceded that the keyboard literature of the late 18th and early 19th centuries was written specifically for the fortepiano and is not ideally suited to the modern piano.
The brilliant keyboard literature composed between 1765 and 1825 by the descendants of Bach, by Clementi, Hummel, Field, Mehul, Paesiello, Cherubini and many others is hardly known to modern audiences, a loss due in large measure to the lack of appropriate instruments for performance.
The ideal instrument for this music is the Viennese fortepiano of the type made by J. Stein, a maker whose instruments were the particular favorites of Mozart and the young Beethoven.
