This is an illustrated examination of a collection of Chinese calligraphy, paintings, bronzes, and many other objects amassed by the Song dynasty emperor Huizong (1082-1135). It contributes to a rethinking of the cultural side of Chinese imperial rule and of the court as a patron of scholars and the arts.

"Contextual in approch, this text draws on socio-economic and political studies as well as histories of religion, science, literature, and popular culture, and explores the diverse, conflicted history of American art and architecture. Thematically interrelating the visual arts to other material artifacts and cultural practices, the text examines how artists and architects produced artwork that visually expressed various social and political values."--Publisher's website.

Texts from the papyrus collection of Washington University have already appeared in Veme B. Schuman, Washington University Papyri 1: Non Literary Texts (American Studies in Papyrology 17), Chico (Califomia) 1980. This new volume is intended as a continuation, and the texts appearing in it have been numbered accordingly, subsequent to Schuman's. We divided our texts at an early stage, and while we have consulted each other extensively since then, we retain chief responsibility each for the pieces we began with: Maresch for 69-72, 77, 78, 80, 83, 86, 88, 90-94, 101, 102, 104, 107, and 108; Packman for 62-68, 73-76, 79, 81, 82, 84, 85, 87, 89, 95-100, 103, 105, and 106. The editors of P.Wash.Univ. II were brought together by Reinhold Merkelbach, to whom they are grateful for his continuing support and advice. Our thanks are due to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, whose suppon enabled Maresch to visit St. Louis in 1988, and the American Council of Leamed Societies, whose fellowship brought Packman to Cologne in 1989- 90. An ACLS grant in 1966 made possible the photographs on which has depended most of the work done on the collection since: Some of them appear in the plates of this volume.

The Evolution of Washington, DC is a striking volume featuring select pieces of the extraordinary collection of Washingtoniana donated by Albert H. Small to the George Washington University in 2011. It showcases treasures such as an 1860 lithograph of the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson in front of the White House and a contemporary print of old Potomac River steamboats. Other unique pieces include early designs for the White House, the Capitol, and the Washington Monument as well as presidential portraits and Civil War memorabilia. Each object--from architectural plans and topographical maps to letters and advertisements--tells a fascinating story, and together they illustrate the history of our nation's capital and indeed our nation itself.
