The chapters have been written with both specialists and non-specialists in mind. Volume 3 1476-1776: This volume begins at the time of the establishment of Caxtons first press in England and concludes with the American Declaration of Independence the notional birth of the first non-insular extraterritorial English. It encompasses three centuries which saw immense cultural change over the whole of Europe: the late middle ages the renaissance the reformation the enlightenment and the beginnings of romanticism. During this time Middle English became Early Modern English and then developed into the early stages of indisputably modern if somewhat old-fashioned English. In this book the distinguished team of six contributors traces these developments covering orthography and punctuation phonology and morphology syntax lexis and semantics regional and social variation and the literary language. The volume also contains a glossary of linguistic terms and an extensive bibliography. Contents: I. The beginnings to 1066 -- II. 1066-1476 -- III. 1476-1776 -- IV. 1776-1997 -- V.

2009107743Folio. N. P.: The William Blake Trust 2009. Folio 95pp. Original quarter-maroon calf with black moiré silk-covered boards with gilt lettered maroon-morocco label to top board backstrip likewise stamped in gilt; portfolio in full maroon calf containing 17 of 19 watercolors and one duplicate reproduced in facsimile mounted within framing lines on heavy beige paper black moiré silk-covered double slipcase; illustrated throughout with color reproductions of watercolor drawings as well as engravings. § Out of series trial copy of the de luxe edition limited to 36 copies. The entire edition is out of print. From the announcement: “These watercolor designs which disappeared from the public eye from 1836-2001 came to light in a Glasgow bookshop and were later offered as an entity to institutions and collectors at a price which as it turned out none could afford or at least was prepared to pay. Eventually in the face of much protest the portfolio and the 19 designs were offered for sale in 20 separate lots at Sotheby’s New York in 2006. The drawings are now widely dispersed and it is most unlikely that they will ever again be seen together.†The sale was roundly condemned at the time as an act of cultural crime. This book and the facsimile portfolio are now the only record we will ever have of the original series. Happily the Blake Trust created a superb book which is and will surely remain the single most valuable reference work on these remarkable Blake drawings. The William Blake Trust hardcover books
