The exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists was the closest thing, metaphorically, to a bomb in the National Gallery. It was, as one of its organisers, Clive Bell, later remarked, "the Art-Quake of 1910".Cezanne, Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and Van Gogh all five artists were introduced to the British public in a single exhibition in 1910. Reactions ranged from outrage to disbelief to a sense of ecstatic liberation, as visitors to the Grafton Galleries found themselves face to face with art that seemed to mock five hundred years of tradition. British painters were still working in the shadow of the Old Masters, but here were Continental artists reaching for the new light of Modernism.Vividly evoking the personalities of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group members who staged the exhibition, as well as the artists themselves, David Boyd Haycock captures not just a pivotal moment in British art but a whole society on the brink of cataclysmic upheaval.In or about December 1910, human character changed VIRGINIA WOOLF

Fascinating and timely JOHN BANVILLEDegenerate Art was the end of the first act of Hitlers Reich, the cultural and spiritual "coordination" of the German people.The Nazi exhibition of Degenerate Art in 1937 was meant to show all that had gone wrong with Germany. Yet it was, ironically, one of the first great retrospectives of modern European art. More than a million people flocked to the show to catch a glimpse of the insane, the criminal, the Jewish and the Bolshevist: the primitive international scratchings of un-German artists, in the words of Adolf Hitler. While some came to sneer or mock, others were there to admire or to pay their final respects. Within a few years, many of the works on display would be destroyed or lost in the chaos of war. John-Paul Stonard leads a tour of the crowded vaults of the Hofgarten arcade to discover the wonders of Dada, reveal hidden jewels of German Expressionism and the innovations of Bauhaus and to demonstrate how the worst that Germany had to offer made one of the most fascinating shows of all time.

When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it. Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poets work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plaths first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plaths extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.
