Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of English Tales and Prose Romances Printed Before 1740, Vol. 1 of 2: Part I. 1475-1642, And, Part II. 1643-1739 The following list of English Tales and Romances is divided into two parts, the first containing all books which appeared up to the year 1642, the outbreak of the Civil War, the second containing all books which first appeared between that date and 1740. This plan has been adopted, primarily in order that Part I may fall into line with the Lists of English Plays and Translations from the Classics already issued by the Society; and secondarily in the hope that the division of the mass of material may sensibly diminish the incongruous juxtapositions inevitable in any author-catalogue, and may thus bring into light the historical perspective, which is still to a great extent, and would otherwise have been entirely, obscured by the alphabetical arrangement under the author's names. It may be well to add here that in the references to libraries, etc., given at the end of each entry, the following order of precedence is observed: (1) British Museum,(2) Bodleian,(3) University Library, Cambridge,(4) any other public library, preferably in England,(5) catalogued and accessible private libraries, such as the Bridgewater or Huth collections (the latter now no longer appropriate to this category),(6) other private libraries, and(7), failing an accessible copy, a reference to some authority for the books present or past existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume of his classic English Books and Readers, first published in 1965, H. S. Bennett continues the story down to the end of the reign of Elizabeth I. His purpose is to give an account of the total output of books and pamphlets in this period, irrespective of their qualities as literature. He reveals a picture of astonishing variety and fertility. The part of it which concerns the production of imaginative, philosophical and religious books is fairly well known; but by far the larger proportion of the output of the printing presses consisted of such diverse products as histories and geographies, moral treatises, translations from the Classics, legal and medical text-books, writings on sports and pastimes, seamanship, primers of instruction in languages and music, the great and famous corpus of travel books, volumes of ballads and verses, and cheap and sensational pamphlets on such topics as monstrous births, strange creatures, the evil practices of witches and the diabolical objectives of traitors. Besides showing how the printers, booksellers and their allies made this enormously diverse mass of material readily available to the Elizabethan reading public, the author examines as well the relations between writers and readers.

Download or read book A Reference Guide for English Studies written by Michael J. Marcuse and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English historians in the Middle Ages is an overview of the history of English historians and their works in the Middle Ages. English historians helped lay the groundwork for modern historical methodology, provided vital accounts of the early history of England, its culture, and revelations about the historians themselves.The most remarkable period of historical writting was during the High Middle Ages in the 12th and 13th centuries, when English chronicles produced works with a variety of interest, wealth of information and amplitude of range. However one might choose to view the reliability.
