The clean design and bright colours of the Fiesta dinnerware line - first introduced by the Homer Laughlin Co. in 1936 - caught the fancy of housewives everywhere, revolutionizing the market for tableware in the United States. Though originally offered in just five colours - red, ivory, cobalt blue, yellow and green - the number and variety of hues blossomed to include turquoise, rose, gray, forest green, chartreuse and medium green - one of the most popular and valuable. When the Fiesta line was reintroduced in 1986, after a hiatus from 1973 to 1985, collecting interest surged again. The passion for the vintage colours was reignited, and the line's new colours, including periwinkle, cinnabar and sunflower, created a stir amid a new generation of collectors. From the best of the old to the latest and greatest modern colours of the new, Warman's[registered] Fiesta Ware provides comprehensive expert advice and up-to-date pricing for the line that lent distinction to the plainest table. With more than 1,000 eye-appealing photographs, this colourful story is well told by author Mark F. Moran.
Ford here addresses the perennial questions of what poetry is, how it came to be, and what it is for, focusing on the critical moment in Western literature when the heroic tales of the Greek oral tradition began to be preserved in writing. "Ford's Homer is an ingenious and subtle inquiry into ancient poetics, innovative in conception, informed but not burdened by exhaustive scholarship, and executed in an accessible and elegant style. It is a mini-masterpiece that both the scholar and the informed general reader will devour with pleasure and profit."--Choice
