2 Book Recommendations by John Resig
An Illuminated Life
Heidi Ardizzone
Examines the secret life of Belle de Costa Greene, who was responsible for shaping the Pierpont Morgan Library collection and who became a luminary in New York high society, describing how the daughter of free people of color invented a Portuguese grandmother to enter white society to take the art world by storm.@aaprocter She's amazing! I've seen this book in the gift shop at the Morgan, haven't gotten it yet, though! https://t.co/ipP4rfYIau
Edo Culture
Matsunosuke Nishiyama
Edo Culture is a thoroughly original and sensitive reading of a vast range of source materials, written and otherwise. Japan historians and others interested in Edo popular culture, urban history, literature, and art will welcome this consistently insightful work by one of Japan's most influential historians of the early modern period.The very slim upside of being phone-less waiting for jury duty selection is that I’m going to get some reading in! http://t.co/fuse1eGgUh
