Each chapter as well as giving a chronologically-oriented presentation of the data surveys scholarship in the area and takes full account of the impact of developing and current linguistic theory on the interpretation of the data. 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.

The quarterly magazine was the collaboration of architects Arthur Mackmurdo and Herbert Horne and the designer Selwyn Image who together formed the small but influential Century Guild of Artists. It featured essays on the fine and decorative arts architecture literature typography book design and collecting along with much original poetry. The Guild members were clearly well-connected particularly with the Pre-Raphaelites and regular contributors included W.M. Rossetti Christina Rossetti and Frederic Shields. Oscar Wilde contributed an essay on Keats May Morris one on embroidery and William Morris' lecture on "The Influence of Building Materials upon Architecture" appeared for the first time in print in its pages. There is an essay by Hubert Parry on English song writing original poetry from Matthew Arnold and Christina Rossetti and several essays by Alfred Pollard on book design. The contributors were particularly interested in the influence of William Blake and different issues featured several very important Muir facsimiles as well as the first typographic printing of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.A prepublication issue had been printed by George Allen for Mackurdo in 1884. After Mackmurdo and Image stepped away at the end of 1892 the magazine was renamed simply The Hobby Horse and survived for two more years before ending in 1894 the year The Yellow Book first appeared. Neither the prepublication issue nor these later issues are included in this series.An ambitious and quite beautiful production suffused with the spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement the issues are finely printed on handmade paper at the Chiswick Press illustrated with woodcut decorations and with photogravures of notable artworks. From the frontispiece art reproduced with the permission of many famous names to the appended directories of recommended craftsmen and women May Morris William Muir W.M. Rossetti among them the issues form a rich record of the thoughts and activities of a fascinatingly intertwined group of artists authors and designers in the act of revolutionizing the visual arts in England.Complete runs like this are very uncommon in institutions and in the trade.

1999CNJL1299London: Enitharmon Press 1999. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Rego Paula. Number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition folio size 46 pp. signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego. Paula Rego b. 1935 a native of Portugal studied art at the Slade School London where she now mainly lives and works. This work is based almost unbelievably so on factual history: "the Children's Crusade of 1212 remains an enigmatic historical episode recorded in only a few contemporary accounts but it captured the imagination of the acclaimed painter Paula Rego as a story steeped in imaginative possibilities and contemporary relevance. It touches not only on children's love of adventure but also on darker issues including fears of the unknown incipient sexuality and exploitation. In his introduction Blake Morrison brilliantly illuminates Rego's twelve hand-coloured etchings and their relation to the crusade and the scene is set by two passages from medieval chronicles. The book concludes with an extensive and revealing interview with Paula Rego in which she explains her fascination with the subject." N.B. from the website of the publisher.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original gray linen covered boards with the illustration "Voices II" inlaid to the upper board fore- and tail-edges uncut color printed reproductions of the original etchings tipped in; text has been hand-set in Monotype Caslon printed on Arches Vélin paper folio size 12.75" by 10" pagination: 1-6 7-45 1 colophon limited edition this number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition total edition 190 signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego.
