Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the 'Lay of the High Sheriff', a verse narrative capturing the anxieties and misadventures of an Oxfordshire High Sheriff as he navigates his first Assize. Composed as a jest amongst local dignitaries, and rife with period colloquialisms and specific references to Oxfordshire landmarks and figures, the book gives a humorous and intimate insight into the peculiar anxieties, quirks, and local culture of 1840s provincial England. The author, a prominent local figure, sets his focus on the foibles and tribulations of this hapless sheriff, whilst exploring broader themes of duty and fear, social satire and provincial eccentricity. This scarce and little-known verse narrative, now almost entirely inaccessible, is a unique and humorous glimpse into the customs of a bygone era. Its historical and literary significance resides in capturing the nuance and flavor of a particular time and place, providing an authentic glimpse into the life and times of provincial England on the cusp of significant societal changes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781332149827_0
