Our understanding of the human past is limited and often highly abstract. The mute evidence we obtain from excavation--from dusty pots to colorless shards and bone fragments--can make it difficult to visualize what life was really like. Reconstruction art offers a different way into the past, bringing archaeology to life. This beautifully illustrated book explores the history of reconstruction art and archaeology, highlighting the work of seven influential artists. Through interviews and correspondence, Judith Dobie builds a picture of how these artists' personalities, interests, and backgrounds influence their art. Extensively illustrated case studies featuring working sketches demonstrate how reconstruction artists meaningfully shape how we interpret archaeological sites.

Illustrating the Past is a study of the status of visual and verbal media in early modern English representations of the past. It focuses on general attitudes towards visual and verbal representations of history as well as specific illustrated books produced during the period. Through a close examination of the relationship of image to text in light of contemporary discussions of poetic and aesthetic practice, the book demonstrates that the struggle between the image and the word played a profoundly important role in England's emergent historical self-awareness. The opposition between history and story, fact and fiction, often tenuous, provided a sounding board for deeper conflicts over the form in which representations might best yield truth from history. The ensuing schism between poets and historians over the proper venue for the lessons of the past manifested itself on the pages of early modern printed books. The discussion focuses on the word and image relationships in several important illustrated books printed during the second half of the sixteenth century-including Holinshed's Chronicles (1577) and Foxe's Book of Martyrs (1563, 1570)-in the context of contemporary works on history and poetics, such as Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry and Thomas Blundeville's The true order and Method of wryting and reading Hystories. Illustrating the Past specifically answers two important questions concerning the resultant production of literary and historical texts in the period: Why did the use of images in printed histories suddenly become unpopular at the end of the sixteenth century? and What impact did this publishing trend have on writers of literary and historical texts?

Designed as a sequel to Rank & File: Drawing the English Civil War, also distributed by Helion & Company, this little book contains a selection of published and unpublished illustrations of romances, novels and factual narratives linked by the common theme of history executed by the famous Civil War artist Stephen Back. Here is a rare chance to see a wider range of sketches penned by Beck. The past is a place we cannot revisit and yet it exerts an irresistible pull on our feelings and sense of identity. Stephen Beck brings to us illustrations that give visual expression to this urge to recreate the past, to bring it back to life and to give it meaning.
