Issue 5: Imagination and Innovation
Edited by Morgana McCabe and Victoria Woolner
For Issue 5 of The Kelvingrove Review, the editorial team struggled to choose from many wonderful books as the broad theme stimulated our own imaginations. We aimed to select books representing the role of innovation and imagination across a range of time periods, disciplines and groups. The six themed reviews range from early modern technological innovation to explorations of children's imaginative worlds. The issue also includes three non-themed reviews of recent scholarly works for your perusal. We hope that they inspire and inform your own scholarly enterprises.
The artwork for this issue of TKR, 'The Bus' by Fiona Walker, exemplifies the connection between imagination and innovation: the bus itself a technological innovation which has become an object of art which stimulates imaginations in the Glasgow Museum of Transport. We greatly appreciate Fiona allowing us to use her artwork. Read her artist's statement here.
