Breaking Away. Coleridge in Scotland — COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor / WALKER, Carol Kyros

Breaking Away. Coleridge in Scotland

COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor / WALKER, Carol Kyros
Yale University Press
2002, 216pp, Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
This book draws on Coleridge's letters and notebooks to look at his travels with the Wordsworths from his own point of view and to record and photograph the journey he experienced after he parted from them. Carol Kyros Walker, editor of Dorothy Wordsworth's own Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, now retraces Coleridge's very different Scottish tour and recounts his adventures there. In a remarkable photographic and literary essay, she argues that Coleridge's speed, energy, reflections, notes, and letters all betray a man of great talent who was breaking away from the Wordsworths, from his wife, from his life in the Lake District, and from a dry phase of his writing career.

The Book World. Selling and Distributing British Literature, 1900-1940. — WILSON, Nicola (edited by)

The Book World. Selling and Distributing British Literature, 1900-1940.

WILSON, Nicola (edited by)
Brill, Lieden- Boston / Libary of the Written World, volume 49 - The Industrial World, volume 6
2016, XI,221pp, Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
"British literature underwent profound changes in the period 1900-1940. What role did audiences and channels of book distribution play in this? In this wide-ranging collection, the influence of publishers, distributors, librarians and readers come to the foreground to open up new perspectives on literature and print culture. Rooted in original archival research, chapters include studies of the engagement of canonical writers and bestsellers with the literary marketplace; the influence of international and mobile audiences; publishing practices involving genre, promotion, and censorship; and the significance of spaces of reading including bookshops, circulating libraries and on-board passenger ships. Through a series of detailed case-studies that focus on under-explored aspects of distribution and readership, the contributors open up new perspectives on literature and the British book trade."

Indexers and Indexes in Fact and Fiction. — BELL, Hazel (edited by) / BYATT, A. (with a forword by)

Indexers and Indexes in Fact and Fiction.

BELL, Hazel (edited by) / BYATT, A. (with a forword by)
London, The British Library Publishing Division
2001, 160pp. Softcover. In very good condition.
"The index, taken for granted, perhaps considered boring - or not considered at all - is an essential part of a book, and some would say the most essential part. This study takes a wry look at the history, uses and implications of a previously little-considered element of the book and offers an anthology of amusing index extracts. This anthology, compiled by a professional indexer, not only examines the history of the development of the index, but also brings to light the debate and comment that the index has invited over the years, both in fact and fiction. The author examines examples of indexes from earlier centuries some endearingly quaint; some deliberately humorous; some plain awful; and some of which are astonishing in the vehemence of the views they present. Bell also examines the depiction of indexers in fiction - and the picture she finds is not encouraging to the professional indexer variously portrayed as diffident; domestic drudges; incompetent; fallen pedants - such as the drunken father of the classic butler in Parkinson's Jeeves and even frankly insane - Nabokov's megalomaniac Charles Kinbote. In crime novels, the index becomes a tool for the crime-solver - and for the blackmailer selecting his victim."

The Farm. The Story of One Family and the English Countryside. (HARDCOVER) — BENSON, Richard

The Farm. The Story of One Family and the English Countryside. (HARDCOVER)

BENSON, Richard
Hamish Hamilton
2005, 229pp. Illustrated. Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
When Richard Benson was growing up he felt like 'the village idiot with O'levels' - glowing school reports aren't much help when you're trying to help a sow give birth, or drive a power harrow in a straight line without getting half the hedgerow stuck in the tines. He left Yorkshire to work as a journalist in London, but returned when his dad called with the news that they were going to have to sell the family farm, and, in so doing, leave the home and livelihood that the Bensons had worked for generations. This is not only a moving personal account, but also one that reflects a profound change in rural life.

The Book. The Life Story of a Technology. — HOWARD, Nicole

The Book. The Life Story of a Technology.

HOWARD, Nicole
Johns Hopkins University Press
2009, 192pp, Illustrated. Paperback. As new.
The printed book is one of life's most frequently encountered technologies. Historian Nicole Howard provides a comprehensive survey of the evolution of this technology, tracing its development across many centuries and cultures. No other technology in human history, declares Howard, has had the impact of this invention. By examining the book as a technology, Howard reveals how profoundly information and media have shaped history and how vital the technology of the book has been to cultural and intellectual change. This engaging study extends from clay tablets and rolls of papyrus to bound folio sheets, from inks and scripts to lead type and printing presses, from the Linotype machine to the laptop. Cross-cultural in scope, it examines innovations in the production and manufacture of books from the Middle and Far East, Europe, and the Americas. Howard recounts printing techniques from Gutenberg's first press to 21st-century electronic publishing. Howard's broad overview and accessible writing style make this book ideal for students and bibliophiles alike. The volume includes a glossary of terms, a timeline of important events, and a selected bibliography of useful resources for further information.

Ways of Life. On Places, Painters and Poets. — MOTION, Sir Andrew

Ways of Life. On Places, Painters and Poets.

MOTION, Sir Andrew
Faber & Faber
2008, 288pp, Hardcover, with dust jacket. In very good condition.
Andrew Motion was appointed Poet Laureate in 1999, but alongside his work as a poet he also had a significant career as a prize-winning biographer and an illuminating critic. Ways of Life celebrates this talent with a selection of his articles about painters and poets, as well as a number of striking personal pieces. The literary essays in Ways of Life look at a wide assortment of writers, from John Clare and Ivor Gurney, to marginal figures such as Leigh Hunt and Joseph Severn, and reassess the less well-known work of celebrated writers including John Donne, Christina Rossetti and Thomas Hardy. Ways of Life is an original, acute and emotionally-charged collection of writings, from a truly important and insightful writer.
