This book is a debate between Lewis and Tillyard on the topic of objective value, i.e. whether a piece of poetry or other imaginative literature is primarily about the state of mind of the author or the subject on which the author writes. Reading this book is like taking a tutorial with Lewis back in 1939, since you see the exchange of views between the two authors.

Religion & Spirituality

A gripping tale of committed Christians caught up in a conservative protest movement in early 19th Century Saxony who decided that emigration was the only solution to what they experienced as the oppression of a rationalistic State Church. Led by Martin Stephan, a Lutheran clergyman whom they later deposed, 707 faithful sailed rough seas on six ships to a new home in Perry County, Missouri. Each step in the journey was complicated by trials and deaths, but the ultimate result is a victory for all. The book went through five printings in Germany because of its popular appeal and the translation for English speaking readers promises to be as engaging.

Everything is Relevant: Writings on Art and Life, 1991-2018 brings together texts by Canadian artist Ken Lum. They include diary entries, articles, catalogue essays, curatorial statements, a letter to an editor, and more. Along the way, the reader learns about late modern, postmodern, and contemporary art practices, as well as debates around issues such as race, class, and monumentality. Penetrating, insightful, and often moving, Lum's writings are essential for understanding his varied practice, which has often been prescient of developments within contemporary art.

History & Criticism

Colin Campbell's pioneering video art inspired a generation of multimedia artists. While he produced more than fifty videos, including the influential Sackville, I'm Yours (1972), Hollywood and Vine (1977), and Bad Girls (1980), Campbell left an equally large impact through his advocacy. A dedicated teacher, he played an active role in the artist-run center movement and established Canada's largest video art distributor, Vtape. Collecting Campbell's scripts, articles, artist's books, and fiction for the first time, More Voice-Over reveals the witty and playful mind behind the camera. Exploring sexuality, gender, the AIDS crisis, public arts policy, and more, these texts shed new light on Colin Campbell's place at the center of video art's rise. &nbsp;

Collected writings from an interdisciplinary architect and educator.\nWhether he was designing buildings and spaces for universities, museums, performing arts, or libraries, Arthur Erickson was preoccupied with intersections—of people, cultures, and ideas. Arthur Erickson on Learning Systems collects writings by an architect advocating for interdisciplinary approaches to education and the methods for sharing knowledge. An introduction by Melanie O’Brian nuances Erickson’s big-picture thinking, draws parallels between curatorial practices and his approach to learning spaces, and discusses the experiences of campus users following university expansion and increased specialization among academic disciplines.

A diverse collection of writings by contemporary Canadian artist Liz Magor that offers a new way to understand her work.\nSubject to Change presents catalog statements, essays, interviews, lecture notes, communications with gallerists and authors, and unpublished and out-of-print writings by Liz Magor, one of the most important contemporary artists of the last fifty years. As a writer, Magor uses narrative to make sense of her work, but she also turns and returns to themes over her career including subject/object relations and transformations; artist education and training; consumption and commodification; human attachment and relationships; and complexities of time, place, and situation, particularly her own as a feminist artist in a settler-colonial society. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Magor’s practice, as well as the history of Canadian art since the 1970s.
