Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery which is argued to have been a cultural manifestation of the ubiquitous violence in societies typified by incessant warfare. There was never any sustained opposition to slavery and the new religion of Christianity probably reinforced rather than challenged its existence. In twenty-two chapters leading scholars explore the centrality of slavery in ancient Mediterranean life using a wide range of textual and material evidence. Non-specialist readers in particular will find the volume an accessible account of the early history of this crucial phenomenon.<br /> <br /> This set is heavy and oversize and will require additional postage to ship internationally; please contact us for an international shipping quote.

Shelved above WWI. Samuel Richardson 1689 - 1761 was an English writer and printer known for his epistolary novels. He printed almost 500 works including journals and magazines working periodically with the London bookseller Andrew Millar. Richardson had been apprenticed to a printer whose daughter he eventually married. He lost her along with five sons but remarried and had four daughters who reached adulthood but had no male heirs to continue the print shop. As it ran down he wrote his first novel at the age of 51 and joined the admired authors of his day. via Wikipedia<br> <br /> <br> <br /> Much like the Bertrams in Mansfield Park Jane Austen and her siblings were fond of putting on "theatricals" at home for their friends and neighbors. In 1793 at the age of eighteen Jane Austen began writing and shortly afterwards abandoned a dramatic adaptation of this work entitled Sir Charles Grandison or the happy Man a comedy in 6 acts. She completed it in 1800. 1360646. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. T. Longman; T. Johnson; et. al hardcover

By the age of thirty Currer 1785-1861 the unmarried sole heir to both the Richardson and Currer estates had amassed one of the most celebrated private libraries of her generation. She was considered the first as well as the greatest female bibliophile in Europe with "a heart as big as St Paul's Dome and as warm as Volcanic lava" Dawson Turner cf. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.<br /> <br /> As well as collecting in the areas of the natural sciences topography antiquities history classics illustrated and early printed books Currer was also an active and generous patron of many charities and public institutions including the school at Cowan Bridge attended by the Brontë sisters. In fact their lives may have intersected more than once with the imminent bibliophile who is believed to have paid off Patrick Brontë's debts when he was newly widowed. It has also been reasonably surmised that Charlotte Brontë borrowed the name for her pseudonym "Currer Bell."<br /> <br /> BAL 3841; HOWES C750; SABIN 16486. Henry Colburn unknown
