Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun, Vol. 1: With 32 Portraits and Illustrations (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Kings of the Rod Rifle and Gun, Vol. 1: With 32 Portraits and Illustrations
As to sins of omission, I can only say in defence that I have carefully considered the claims of a long roll of worthies before making my choice, and that I have chosen those whose lives afforded most material for interesting and entertaining biography. There have been some great sportsmen - the late Earl of Malmesbury and his father, for example - whom I would gladly have included in my gallery of portraits, but the information obtainable was so scanty and so devoid of personal interest that I felt the impossibility of making anything readable out of it. I think the names which I have selected are fairly representative of the great experts with Rod, Rifle, and Gun.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating history of angling, tracing its roots from ancient times to the 17th century. It explores the lives and contributions of renowned figures who shaped the sport, including soldiers, clergymen, and literary giants. The author challenges conventional assumptions, arguing against the attribution of early angling texts to Dame Juliana Bernes and highlighting the often-overlooked expertise of figures like Richard Franck. The narrative seamlessly blends historical anecdotes with insights into the techniques and philosophies of angling. It examines the evolution of angling literature, from the allegorical writings of Piers of Fulham to the practical manuals of Thomas Barker, and explores the enduring influence of John Dennys's poetic masterpiece, "The Secrets of Angling." The book also delves into the debate surrounding Shakespeare's connection to angling, presenting compelling evidence from his works to support the claim that he was indeed a keen practitioner of the sport. By exploring the lives and writings of these influential figures, this book sheds light on the rich cultural and literary significance of angling, revealing its enduring appeal as a contemplative and skillful pursuit.
