Mobilizing Music in Wartime British Film traces a preoccupation with art music and total war that animated British films of the 1940s. From acclaimed films such as The Red Shoes and Brief Encounter to experimental documentaries, colonial propaganda films, and largely forgotten melodramas, music was persistently given a central role in the action. As this book demonstrates, these films were driven by questions around the efficacy of art music, not just in the conventional sense of uplift or morale-building, but as a sonic force acting on bodies, minds, and materials-a resource to be mobilized or demobilized. Author Heather Weibe shows readers how their elaborations of these questions have much to tell us about World War II era Britain, while also speaking to more contemporary pressures on the arts to be useful and productive. In their concerns with music and wartime life away from the battle front, these films offer insight into the affective experience of war-not just as violence and t

A compelling new portrait of one of the ancient world滻 most famous and consequential figures By any measure, Julius Caesar is one of the most significant and well-known figures in ancient Roman history. Self-identified as a "popular" politician, he advocated for effective government to better the lives of the average Roman; however, he believed this government could not be based upon the existing democracy, which he regarded as corrupt and inefficient. It could only be through his personal management and the massive organization he built to overthrow the government that he could ensure the prosperity of all Romans. Through a careful analysis of the ancient sources, including Caesar's own writings, David Potter offers us a stunning and original portrait of the general and statesman's character and methods. He shows Caesar as a highly organized manager with an extraordinary ability to adjust to circumstances while maintaining a steady equivalent of an ancient media presence that attracte
