Eleonora Duse's Library: The Disclosure of Aesthetic Value in Real Acting
2010
Even though Eleonora Duse (1858-1924) referred to her books as her own artistic wardrobe, her most highly valued possessions, scholars and biographers have insisted on neglecting her library and furthermore, have for many years considered it lost forever. This article explains the value of the founding and reconstructing of the Murray Edwards Eleonora Duse Collection in Cambridge. She specifically refers to a selection of books which have been renamed 'Cleopatra's Books'. They are remarkable examples which are representative of Duse's library as a whole and lay bare the roots of Duse's intellectual evolution. Many have believed the romantic notion that Duse acted out her own personal life o…
The Murray Edwards Duse Collection
2012
The volume is the result of the discovery of Eleonora Duse’s books in Cambridge by Anna Sica (now De Domenico Sica). It is written in English and includes a contribution by Alison Wilson.

James Stirling. Facoltà di Storia a Cambridge
2005
La Facoltà di Storia a Cambridge, costruita nel 1967 su progetto di James Stirling, è uno dei più noti ed interessanti edifici di architettura moderna. Peraltro costituisce uno dei capolavori dello scomparso architetto inglese, vincitore del Pritziker Prize e della medaglia d’oro del Royal Institute of British Architects. L’edificio, dal forte impianto geometrico, interamente in mattoni rossi e vetro, richiama l’immagine di una serra vittoriana, ma numerose sono le allusioni all’ingegneria industriale. Uno spregiudicato impianto distributivo prevede la grande sala di lettura al centro della vita di tutta la Facoltà. The University of Cambridge History Faculty Building, built in 1967 and des…
