Homecoming  haunting  nostalgia  desire. These are some of the themes evoked by the beguiling image of the lighted window. In this innovative book  Peter Davidson is our guide  taking us on atmospheric walks through nocturnal cities in Britain  Europe  North America  and the field paths of rural England.  Surveying a wide range of material  the book extends from early romantic painting to contemporary fiction. Davidson features familiar lighted windows in English literature  turning to the works of poets such as Thomas Hardy and Matthew Arnold and the novels of Virginia Woolf  Arthur Conan Doyle  and Kenneth Grahame. The Lighted Window also considers the painted nocturnes of James Whistler  John Atkinson Grimshaw  and the ruralist Samuel Palmer; Japanese prints of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; Proust and the painters of the French belle poque; Ren Magrittes LEmpire des Lumires; and North American painters such as Edward Hopper and Linden Frederick.  By interpreting the interactions of art  literature  and geography around this evocative motif  Peter Davidson shows how the lighted window has inspired an extraordinary variety of moods and ideas  from the romantic period to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952834408501,"sku":"ByrdShop_1851245146","price":36.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781851245147.jpg?v=1770191736","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-lighted-window-evening-walks-remembered","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
