david gentleman's cover for the new penguin shakespeare edn of AS YOU LIKE IT: 4 couples rich & poor stand entwined in 4 different bosky bowers representing the mythological FOREST OF ARDEN
i have glumly realised i need to collect all the new penguin shakepeares with covers by david gentleman, surly this will be v inexpensive
i did this one for o-level so i have it already (cover might be torn off tho lol); plus 4-5 others in a box somewhere?
adding that βWHO GETS TO RUN CHARITIESβ is much more where the stuffiness & the class stasis is injected in the UK
(the answer probably wont surprise you -- why its a a self-appointed claque of the great & good so-called -- but its determined more by cultural self-reproduction than cash-in-hand)
i havent been following it closely bcz it's too dumb and yucky but the war on yuja wang since she dropped her bomb on that crappy critic guy has been instructive: she is popular & beloved & *BOY* do some ppl hate & fear her for her sexy red dresses & such

obviously some individual landowners are v wealthy but v few of them give a fuck abt the arts. charles when a prince founded the prince's trust (now the KING'S TRUST lol), which does fund cultural things -- but it's a charity not his personal money or decisions
tlio.org.uk/the-uks-50-b...
arts patronage in the uk is (i) the state (ii) middle-class leisure-money (iii) fancy corporate entertainment budgets: the landed gentry is p much nowhere in the equation here (note to self: must write up my saltburn piece)
