Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain by : Lotte Hellinga
Download or read book The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain written by Lotte Hellinga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-09 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain presents an overview of the century-and-a-half between the death of Chaucer in 1400 and the incorporation of the Stationers' Company in 1557. The profound changes during that time in social, political and religious conditions are reflected in the dissemination and reception of the written word. The manuscript culture of Chaucer's day was replaced by an ambience in which printed books would become the norm. The emphasis in this collection of essays is on the demand and use of books. Patterns of ownership are identified as well as patterns of where, why and how books were written, printed, bound, acquired, read and passed from hand to hand. The book trade receives special attention, with emphasis on the large part played by imports and on links with printers in other countries, which were decisive for the development of printing and publishing in Britain.

Download or read book Mercia written by Michelle P. Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom best remembered for Offa and his famous dyke was not only a dominant power on the island of Britain in the eighth century, but also a significant player in early medieval European politics and culture. Although the volume focuses on the eighth and ninth centuries when Mercian power was at its height, it also looks back to the origins of the kingdom and forward to the period of Viking settlement and West Saxon reconquest. With state-of-the-art contributions from experts in palaeography, art history, archaeology, numismatics and landscape - as well as from historians - this book establishes a new baseline for Mercian scholarship, by covering the rise and fall of the kingdom, its major institutions, relations with other political entities as well as its visual and material culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, DAILY EXPRESS, SCOTSMAN and SPECTATOR Three journeys. One road. England, 1348. A gentlewoman flees an odious arranged marriage, a Scots proctor sets out for Avignon and a young ploughman in search of freedom is on his way to volunteer with a company of archers. All come together on the road to Calais. Coming in their direction from across the Channel is the Black Death, the plague that will wipe out half of the population of Northern Europe. As the journey unfolds, overshadowed by the archers' past misdeeds and clerical warnings of the imminent end of the world, the wayfarers must confront the nature of their loves and desires. A tremendous feat of language and empathy, it summons a medieval world that is at once uncannily plausible, utterly alien and eerily reflective of our own. James Meek's extraordinary To Calais, In Ordinary Time is a novel about love, class, faith, loss, gender and desire - set against one of the biggest cataclysms of human history.

My colleague Dom Butler has compared the proofs of the Ceme text with the ms, and to him I am indebted for advice and help throughout. In addition to others mentioned during the course of the work, I wish to express my Special obligation to Prof. Skeat for revising the anglo-saxon portions of the ms; to Mr Burkitt for guidance in preparing the critical notes on the Latin Gospels and the Note on the Biblical Text; and to Dr Montague James for many valuable suggestions, especially in regard to the apocryphal pieces. My thanks, too, are due to Canon Armitage Robinson, to Mr F. Jenkinson, Librarian of the University Library, and to Mr G. F. Warner, Assistant Keeper of mss at the British Museum. It only remains for me to thank the Syndics of the University Press for undertaking to publish this ms, which may justly claim to be one of the treasures of the Cambridge University Library.
