Significant of the studiesWillsdon has notably enriched both the history and the canon of British art with this

breakthrough study. Albion Willsdon's work of exposition is of lasting value ... Eventhe specialist in this period will find on every page new and significant information.

Albion The sheer physical difficulty of photographing these works, often in poor

condition and in buildings which have undergone conversion, cannot be

underestimated ... the sudden availability of this visual archive will surely have a

major impact on the ways in which British art from the 1840s to the 1930s is

understood and taught. Albion Clare Willsdon's massive and superbly illustrated

book provides an essential first stage in the process of overturning art history's

partial and grudging assessment of the subject. The work of two decades, it is an

extraordinary achievement of primary research, both documentary and object-

based. Albion As befits a history rather than a critical study, each scheme gets itsdue attention, and some - like that in the Royal Exchange, begun in 1892 but

stretching to 1924 - are detailed in this book for the first time ... In each section,

the best murals are thoughtfully examined, with footnotes revealing the depth of 

the author's trawl through many unusual archives. Apollo Magazine This

magnificent and lavishly illustrated book is the culmination of twenty years'

research, and joins such valuable pioneering studies as Benedict Read's Victorian

Sculpture and Colin Cunningham's Victorian and Edwardian Town Halls. Apollo

Magazine Remarkable achievement based on careful and detailed research that has

been intelligently distilled and presented in a beautifully illustrated and unique

volume. Dorothy Rowe, The Art Book Continuing in the tradition of an excellent

series, this book makes a major contribution to the study of British art ... densely

argued, pervasively illustrated, vigorous, wide-questing scholarship that informs

this landmark study of a hitherto neglected subject. Burlington Magazine This book

comes not a minute too soon. The importance of what remains of a once neglected

art form, now being rescued and restored in many instances, may yet be

appreciated at a level close to the scale of its ambitions. Charlotte Gere, The Art

Newspaper This fine volume in the Clarendon Studies in the History of the Art series

successfully puts mural painting on the map of British art history. Art & Christianity

Enquiry Bulletin The text is most elegantly phrased and vivid in its description of 

works; and the complex issues of politics, patronage, style, technique, and meaning

are woven together very successfully. In her conclusion Dr Willsdon states that

'Mural painting is a fact which has to be taken into account in any rational appraisal

of British art as a whole' and in producing this major work she removes any

excuses for the future neglect of this significant art form. Annette Carruthers,

Journal of the Scottish Society for Art History Splendidly illustrated .

Statement of the problemAround 100 inhabitants of a crime-ridden neighborhood of this metropolis in

western Mexico have painted murals as a plea for greater security for theirfamilies.

The locals are using the walls to request an end to the incessant robberies,murders and street-gang brawls in their area, one of the project's

organizers, Rosalio Lopez Casanova, told Efe."There have even been murders here, and we see this project as a peaceful

way for local residents to say we've had enough," he said.There have even been murders here, and we see this project as a peaceful

way for local residents to say we've had enough.- Rosalio Lopez Casanova

Armed with paintbrushes and paint cans, children and adults in the LosColorines housing development took to the streets and began daubing colorson the walls of their buildings to express their yearning for peace.Adolfo Nava Bustos, a member of the neighborhood's security committee,

said that besides giving people a way to express themselves, painting

murals is also a way for them to take back the streets, so often the scene of gang fights and drug trafficking.

"Having a more orderly space and with elements of art as well makes peoplefeel safer and they actually want to go outdoors into the streets - it creates a

healthier atmosphere," he said.Multicolored lines representing a snake stretching around homes in much of 

the neighborhood, and the image of a woman mourning with red handprintsaround her, are some of the creations covering close to 700 square meters

(7,500 square feet) of wall space.In a second phase of the project, fences will be decorated with fragments of 

poems, with slogans calling for peace and with the lyrics of songs composedby young people of the neighborhood. The project is aided by two artists,

who advise the locals on how to paint their murals, and by the Guadalajaramunicipal government, which donates the paint.

Nava said that the community is made up of some 500 families. It is located

in a poor area of the city and has suffered increasing crime and violence.

undergraduates for more than 25 years: over that time approximately 75percent of all undergraduates have studied the subject.

Designed to serve students majoring, minoring, and concentrating in

Literature as well as those students who may get to take only one or twoLiterature subjects while at the Institute, the Literature curriculum at MIT

offers a wide range of undergraduate classes at Introductory, Intermediate,

and Advanced levels. Most classes are small and offer significant opportunityfor student writing and speaking. Many classes focus on literature written inEnglish, though we offer many others covering works in translation from

antiquity to yesterday.

Notable for its interdisciplinary variety and for its openness to film and otherforms of popular culture, the Literature program is also strong in traditional

areas and historical periods such as Renaissance and the 19th Century. Most

classes at all levels are offered once a year; many of the HASS-Dintroductory classes are offered every semester. Staffed by well-published,

influential scholars and creative writers, the Literature faculty is recognized

for its superior and committed teaching.
