Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edinburgh Tales, Vol. 3 My readers must remember, that Annie, "charming Annie," like so many other charmers, liked of all things to be "puzzled;" and her good-natured brother Tom promised, that if their clever sister Sophy would lend her assistance, in the next charade Annie should be delightfully perplexed; and moreover, that it should be a love story, such as young ladies like, and also please their father, (provided he kept awake during the performance, ) for it should be of the date of the Commonwealth. Sophia assented; and, at Tom's instigation, Charles fetched from the armoury a weapon of the gun or musket genus, solemnly promising the ladies not to fire it off. On this, the brother and sister retreated behind the screen, and emerged in the guise of a pair of lovers of the seventeenth century. Charade the Third. Scene the First. - An old-fashioned Garden, with Terraces, Fountains, Yew-hedges, &c. - A large Mansion in the back-ground. -Time, eight in the evening. a.d. 1657. Mabel Goodwin - (alone.) Mabel. So! Master Alfred Montresor! He promised to meet me here by eight, and the great clock in the hall wanted but five minutes full half-an-hour agone. It must be half-an-hour. I have been pacing up and down this walk, from the yew-hedge to the fountain, twenty times at least, besides going twice to the little door in the garden-wall, to be sure that it was unbolted. It can't be a minute less than half-an-hour. He had as well stay now in his hiding-place at the village, for I'll never speak to him again. Never! And yet, poor fellow - No! I'll never speak to him again! Enter Alfred Montresor. So, Master Alfred! Alfred. So, my pretty Mistress Mabel! Why turn away so angrily? What fault have I committed, I pray thee? Mab. Fault? None! Alf. Nay, nay, my little Venus of the Puritans, my princess of all Precisians; if thou be offended tell me so. Mab. Offended, forsooth! People are never offended with people they don't care about. Offended, quotha! Alf. And is it because people don't care for people that they bridle, and flounce, and toss, and put their pretty selves into such pretty tantrums - eh, Mistress Mabel? I am after time, sweet, but - Mab. After time! I have been here this half hour! - and my father fast asleep in the hall! After time! If thou hadst cared for me - But men are all - all alike. There hath not been a true lover in the world since Amadis his day - the mad Paladin that my old nurse was used to talk of, and that was but a false legend. After time! - Why, if thou hadst cared for me only as much as I care for this sprig of lavender, thou wouldst have been waiting for me before the chimes had rung seven. Just think of the time thou hast lost. Now thou may'st go thy ways: leave me, sir! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

We had not sailed more days than two, Till the sky waxed dark and the tempest blew; The lightning flashed, and loud roared the sea, As we were bound for New Barbarie. Old Ballad.

Book Synopsis The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 2: The Renaissance and the Early Seventeenth Century - Third Edition by : Joseph Black
Download or read book The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 2: The Renaissance and the Early Seventeenth Century - Third Edition written by Joseph Black and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 1319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. For the third edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Newly prepared, for example, is a substantial selection from Baldassare Castiglione’s The Courtier, presented in Thomas Hoby’s influential early modern English translation. Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy is another major addition. Also new to the anthology are excerpts from Thomas Dekker’s plague pamphlets. We have considerably expanded our representation of Elizabeth I’s writings and speeches, as well as providing several more cantos from Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene and adding selections from Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia. We have broadened our coverage, too, to include substantial selections of Irish, Gaelic Scottish, and Welsh literature. (Perhaps most notable of the numerous authors in this section are two extraordinary Welsh poets, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Gwerful Mechain.) Mary Sidney Herbert’s writings now appear in the bound book instead of on the companion website. Margaret Cavendish, previously included in volume 3 of the full anthology, will now also be included in this volume; we have added a number of her poems, with an emphasis on those with scientific themes. The edition features two new Contexts sections: a sampling of “Tudor and Stuart Humor,” and a section on “Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, and Covenanters.” New materials on emblem books and on manuscript culture have also been added to the “Culture: A Portfolio” contexts section. There are many additions the website component as well—including Thomas Deloney’s Jack of Newbury also published as a stand-alone BABL edition). We are also expanding our online selection of transatlantic material, with the inclusion of writings by John Smith, William Bradford, and Anne Bradstreet.

This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies the book trade during the age of Fergusson and BurnsOver 40 leading scholars come together in this volume to scrutinise the development and impact of printing, binding, bookselling, libraries, textbooks, distribution and international trade, copyright, piracy, literacy, music publication, women readers, children's books and cookery books.The 18th century saw Scotland become a global leader in publishing, both through landmark challenges to the early copyright legislation and through the development of intricate overseas markets that extended across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Scots in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Dublin and Philadelphia amassed fortunes while bringing to international markets classics in medicine and economics by Scottish authors, as well as such enduring works of reference as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Entrepreneurship and a vigorous sense of nationalism brought Scotland from financial destitution at the time of the 1707 Union to extraordinary wealth by the 1790s. Publishing was one of the country's elite new industries.
