This week on Vulpes Libris we have poets and revolutionaries, sex and betrayal, the past and the present. Or, in the case of some posts, all of the above.
On Monday, Jackie peers at The Wit in the Dungeon, Anthony Holden’s biography of Leigh Hunt.
On Tuesday, Kirsty welcomes – with some reservations – Richard Gott’s Cuba: a New History.
On Wednesday, the past is another world as Sam revisits Keep The Aspidistra Flying.
On Thursday, Anne uncovers an interesting case of sex and fragility in Anita Shreve’s Testimony.
On Friday, Nikki gets frustrated by Philippa Gregory’s The Favoured Child.
And on Saturday, Guest reviewer Samantha Tonge considers marriage and adultery in Clare Dowling’s Just The Three Of Us.
This faithful photographic reproduction of Franz Marc’s “Füchse”, taken from Wikimedia Commons, is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to the United States, Australia, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years. The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that “faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain, and that claims to the contrary represent an assault on the very concept of a public domain“.
Though Franz Marc has long been a favorite, I’d not seen this particular work before. it’s rather different than his more famous style. Thanks for posting it!
