T. Batsford, London, first edition, 1979. Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm,. 192 pp, ills,. From the blurb: " 'It was in rude rhyme that their love and hatred, their exultation and distress found utterance. A great deal of their history is to be learned from their ballads'. What the historian, Lord Macaulay, wrote of seventeenth-century England is true of the whole of English history. Over the centuries, the ballad singer has fascinated, delighted and disgusted his hearers - as can be seen from this selection of over eighty contemporary ballads which show how ordinary people have reacted to social change and to national events over the last 400 years.The author's historical commentaries and quotations from contemporary writers set the scene for each ballad and explain any otherwise obscure allusions. The book is lavishfy illustrated with contemporary paintings, engravings, woodcuts, ballad sheets, and photographs, and is completed with 50 tunes - for, as a seventeenth-century editor wrote: If thou…

From the catalogue: "The most singular fact about the Barbara Johnson Collection was that it consisted not of one type of object, but of hundreds of different types of objects all relating to a central subject: whales and whaling. It was less a collection of things than a section of life, a physical chronicle of an activity, in which human and natural history had been pieced back together. Thus one found within this huge assemblage books, prints, manuscripts, paintings, tools, models, weathervanes, furniture and carvings. Barbara Johnson says she often did not know what she was looking for until she found it. The Barbara Johnson Collection was the largest private collection in the world, not only of scrimshaw, but of everything relating to whales,…

From the blurb: "This is the first book in a large, unexplored field, designed to give the connoisseur, collector, and interested amateur an idea of the scope and merits of seventeenth-century European illustration. Here is a concise text which presents the range and quality of baroque book illustration, designed to aid the reader in forming an idea of a vigorous and exciting neglected period in the book arts. The baroque style, in all forms, is now receiving growing appreciation after being "out of fashion" since the beginning of modern criticism. The seventeenth century in particular has been neglected or written around, while the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries have had the critical attention of book connoisseurs. Mr. Hofer seeks to remedy this neglect through a survey of the baroque book in general, with separate attention to the book production of individual countries. The illustrations…

Description:
Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, NV, first edition, 2012. Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 24 cm. 370 pp. From the publisher's description: "Basque Literary History provides an overview of the evolution of Basque literature, the sociohistorical events that marked it, and the place it holds within Basque society from its oral roots and its "inception" in 1545 with Linguae Vasconum Primitiae by Bernard Etxepare (the first book printed in Basque) to the modern day. It studies "Basque literary history" from the understanding of Basque literature as part of a system - a literary system - to which it belongs and from which it receives meaning and direction. Like all languages and literatures, Basque literature has been conditioned by the relationship between language and literature. In the Basque case this is exacerbated by the subordination of Basque literature to the historical situation. Until the end of the twentieth century, to write…
