Duberman's detailed, riveting, and at times personal account of the history of the Black Mountain School gives both the character and scope of the school and insights into the nature of teaching, community, and writing history. Whew! Quite an accomplishment and a worthy and engaging read. It surprised me with its life. Riveting reading about the tiny, commune-like college that started during the 1930s and spawned a literary movement among a million other things. Edit: It's a week later and I should also give a shout out of thanks to Steve Evans for enlightening me, since he's on LibraryThing now, too. Thanks, Steve! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
With faculty and alumni that included John Cage, Robert Creeley, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Charles Olson, Josef and Anni Albers, Paul Goodman, and Robert Rauschenberg, Black Mountain College ranked among the most important artistic and intellectual communities of the twentieth century. In his groundbreaking history, Martin Duberman uses interviews, anecdotes, and research to depict the relationships that made Black Mountain College what it was. Black Mountain documents the college’s twenty-three-year tenure, from its most brilliant moments of self-reinvention to its lowest moments of petty infighting. It records the financial difficulties that beleaguered the community throughout its existence and the determination it took to keep the college in operation. Duberman creates a nuanced portrait of this community so essential to the development of American arts and counterculture. No library descriptions found. |
