Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, x, 771 pp, 2 maps. From the blurb: "This work is intended for readers who want to find the explanation of an allusion or recall a plot, to fit a character to a book or an author to a title, to relate a king to his dynasty or a movement to its century.There are about 6,000 entries varying from brief descriptions to longer articles. Most are devoted to writers - poets, novelists, dramatists, and critics, mainly, but also historians, savants, scientists, statesmen, and philosophers. The giants are here, and their less great but undeniably enduring fellows. Here, also, are the large class of minores, who keep a place in literary remembrance by one work, or by their associations, or more dubiously, because they have acquired squatters' rights. And here, too, are the small but lively class of eccentrics, beloved of critics. The articles give the relevant details of the author's life and thought, enumerate his works, and give dates of first publication. They also describe his most significant works unless the works themselves are dealt with under separate headings. Other articles throw light on historical, geographical, social, economic, and political events and circumstances; factors in the development of French literature, humanism, and the part played by genres or movements. The period covered ranges from about A.D. 400 to the years immediately preceding the 1939-45 war. .No one-volume work of this type can be complete, but this Companion may modestly claim to be comprehensive. Arrangement is alphabetical and the cross-referencing is lavish. A summary list of background reading is suggested in Appendix I.". Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, xii, 701 pp. From the blurb: "This volume is concerned with English Literature from 1700 to 1740, a period in which men were anxious to discover the limits of reason, and in which nature poetry was invigorated by the new wonder aroused by science. Though most space is given to Swift, Pope, and Defoe, various 'movements' and clashes of thought are described by illustration from minor, even minimal, writers, and through the separate consideration given to the drama, criticism, philosophy, history, and memoirs. The beginnings of various developments are touched upon, but the age is shown to be of value not merely because it foreshadows the Romantic Revival, but as making an important contribution of its own." Includes bibliography and index. Very Good in used and price-clipped dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, x, 961 pp. A standard and highly-regarded reference work. From the preface; ".[T]wo main elements are included, in alphabetical arrangement. The one is a list of English authors, literary works, and literary societies which have historical or present importance. Under an author's name is given a selection of facts - especially dates - bearing on his life and literary activity. Under the title of a work there is some indication of its nature, and for the greater works of fiction of the past - whether poetry, prose, or drama - there is usually a brief sketch of the plot. American literature is an essential part of the literature of our language, and a certain number of American authors and of their works, those best known in this country, have been treated on the above lines.The other element is the explanation of allusions commonly met with, or likely to be met with, in English literature, in so far as they are not covered by the articles on English authors and works."

Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xxviii, 303 pp, [12] leaves of plates, ills. From the blurb: "This history of the O.U.P. is published in the year in which the Press celebrates 500 years of printing in Oxford. Great names in the early history of the Press, like Laud, Fell, and Blackstone, laid sound foundations, but as late as 1870 it was thought necessary to remind the Delegates that publishing books was not 'entirely beside their function': as late as the 1890s there were still those prepared to censure the University for allowing its Press to publish the secular and profane literature of Spenser, Marlowe, and Shakespeare. The transformation of the Press from a lucrative Bible house into a great national and international publishing business was rapid. Progress may have appeared at first to be stumbling and sporadic, but this book, despite its episodic approach and its concentration on a few outstanding individuals, is essentially a study of continuity. Like any ancient institution that has survived, the Press has done so through the permanent pursuit of an impossible goal, modernity. The process of modernization continues, but given the curious agglomeration of businesses, the anomalous consequences of organic growth, and historical accident I over 500 years, it is likely to remain, like the men who in the past governed its destiny, 'really very odd'.
