    Past Imperfect
    Second-hand

    Essays on History, Libraries, and the Humanities

    Lawrence W. Towner was head of one of the country's largest independent research libraries. He was also an eloquent spokesman for the needs of scholars and institutions in the humanities. While at the Newberry Library, he built and focused its prestigious collections, pioneered in the preservation of books, and created major research centers. His efforts established the library as a community of scholars while encouraging its use by students and the general public. Towner's essays and talks cover a broad range of topics of continuing relevance to scholarship and the humanities. His writings gathered in Past Imperfect are concerned with such issues as the role of independent research libraries and the politics of funding. A section of historical essays on the common people of New England reveal his concern with neglected fields of history, a theme that guided his career as a librarian. Spanning the range of his experience and expertise, this volume expresses Towner's coherent vision of the place of humanities, libraries, and scholarship in American life. Lawrence W. Towner (1921-92) taught history at M.I.T., the College of William and Mary, and Northwestern University. In 1962 he was appointed librarian of the Newberry Library and directed the library for the next twenty-four years.

    Hollandse meesters uit Britse landhuizen

    Winter 2018/2019 toonde het Haagse Mauritshuis Hollandse meesters uit de omvangrijke schilderijenverzameling van de Britse National Trust. De in 1895 opgerichte Trust zorgt in Engeland, Wales en Noord-Ierland voor het behoud en beheer van vele historische huizen en de interieurs daarvan. Niet eerder was zo’n omvangrijke selectie van werken uit deze bij het grote publiek weinig bekende verzameling in Nederland te zien. In de selectie zijn topstukken opgenomen van bekende Hollandse schilders uit de Gouden Eeuw, onder wie Rembrandt, Aelbert Cuyp, Pieter de Hooch en Jan Steen. Deze rijk geïllustreerde en toegankelijk geschreven uitgave besteed ruim aandacht aan de Engelse eigenaars van de geselecteerde voorstellingen en de bijzondere huizen waar opeenvolgende generaties van dezelfde families woonden. Diverse schilderijen bevinden zich sinds hun verwerving nog altijd in hetzelfde huis; sommige al sinds de zeventiende eeuw. Daarmee geeft deze publicatie op unieke wijze inzicht in de verzamelgeschiedenis van Hollandse oude meesters in Engeland door de eeuwen heen.
