    About

    Though largely benign, volcanoes erupt continuously across the world. The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 exemplify the dramatic physical violence of volcanoes, and their potential for local destruction and global disruption. In Volcano James Hamilton explores the cultural history generated by the power, beauty and threat of the volcano. Hamilton describes the reverberations of early eruptions of Vesuvius and Etna in Greek and Roman myth, as well as depictions of volcanoes, from the earliest-known wall painting of an erupting volcano in 6200bc, to the distinctive colours of Andy Warhol, to Michael Sandle’s exploding mountains of the 1980s. He also discusses twenty-first century works that demonstrate the volcano’s enduring influence on the artistic imagination today.Volcano is a richly illustrated account that combines established figures such as Joseph Wright and J.M.W. Turner with previously unseen perspectives. Making fresh links and discoveries, this book will appeal to the general reader, as well as having much to say to scholars and specialists in the field.
