An investigation of a Baroque musette bourdon using micro-computed tomography by Wood, F, Brock, F, Uden, J

“…The drone system or bourdon of the aristocratic French bagpipe, the Baroque musette, is an extraordinary invention. Neatly contained within a cylinder of ivory or ebony typically and approximately 15cm long and 3cm in diameter are a number of longitudinal bores drilled in extreme proximity. …”

Between two worlds: Baroque spectacle and enlightenment thought in the autos sacramentales by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) by Brooke, A

“…In doing so, she engaged with the mentalities of two continents and two historical periods: Europe and the Americas, and the Baroque and the Enlightenment.</p> <p>To demonstrate this, I provide a study of each of Sor Juana’s sacramental plays, alongside the <em>loa</em> which was written to accompany them. …”

Giovanni Baglione by O'Neil, M, Maryvelma Smith O'Neil

“…Though he often crosses over the line into the Baroque, the idealism of his Tusco-Roman formation and fondness for angular lines constrain him from fully yielding to a dynamic disposition. …”

In defence of aesthetic attachment: a response to Walter Benjamin's critique of Calderón de la Barca by de Camps Mora, J

“…As an alternative, Benjamin champions the “ruined” — that is, fragmentary — aesthetics of German Baroque drama. <i>Ursprung</i> therefore recreates a neo-Baroque rhetoric which schools its readers into the position of detached interpreters — the objective being, of course, to hinder feelings of immersion. …”

Fantasy and reality: Tiepolo's poetic language at Wutzburg, Verona and Madrid by Whistler, C

“…In his fresco decorations at Würzburg, Verona and Madrid, Giambattista Tiepolo revealed the full extent of his imaginative powers, and his highly creative approach to the familiar language of Baroque allegory. Giambattista’s extraordinary capacity for inventiveness can be seen equally in his intimate graphic works as in his grand-scale public commissions. …”

The reform of Catholic festival culture in eighteenth-century Austria: A clash of mentalities by Robertson, R

“…Eighteenth-century Austria inherited a rich festival culture from the Baroque Catholicism of the Counter-Reformation. Even before the Josephinian Enlightenment of the 1780s, however, both secular and ecclesiastical authorities tried to reduce the number of processions, pilgrimages and feast-days, on the grounds that they distracted people from work, encouraged disorder and vice, and were incompatible with the inward, rationally based devotion that was increasingly considered exemplary. …”

Purism in the German language during the nineteenth century, 1789-1889 by Kirkness, A, Kirkness, Alan C.

“…These reactions - attempts to eliminate borrowed words and replace them with German expressions - have been relatively little studied and the references in histories of language usually apply to the baroque <u>Sprachgesellschaften</u> and one or two individual purists. …”

The ethics of deception: secrecy, transparency and deceit in the origins of modern political thought by Rubio, D

“…A view that is in the very basis of some of the most characteristic features of Baroque art and that opened the door to some of the most transcendental cultural changes of the period, such as the creation of politics governed by reason rather than faith, the secularisation of social behaviour, and the emergence of the notions of individualism, privacy and freedom of thought. …”

Classics by Sullivan, H

“…<br> In an essay on John Milton – the most classically educated and classicising of English poets – Eliot again withholds the label: his style is baroque, ‘peculiar’, and too divorced from common speech, ‘it is a style of a language still in formation’ (OPP, 58). …”
