From the blurb: -" '.she had been brought up to believe that to read a novel before luncheon was one of the gravest sins a gentlewoman could commit.' At the turn of the century, thousands of women must have been prepared to sin, for series like Chatto & Windus' sixpenny novels were reaching an ever-widening public, and their covers were designed to intrigue, to persuade and to entice the reader into committing that sin over and over again. Here are all the elements of human life - desperate men and weeping women, proud fathers and intrepid explorers, sweet daughters and flamboyant women of the world. The covers have been chosen from books first published between 1880 and 1914, and the illustrations include some of the equally marvellous Pears advertisements on their backs. Brief notes on the novels and their authors, some still famous and others long since forgotten, are included in this nostalgic journey into gems from the past. Near Fine.

From the blurb: "Magnificent manuscripts emerged all over Europe during the late fourteenth and throughout the fifteenth century. In France, the victory of Charles V (1364-80) over the English, and over his own feudal nobility, marked the beginning of a splendid period in the history of book illumination - an era often referred to as the 'Golden Age of Illumination'. Among the volumes that were to set a standard for illumination were those that emerged through the patronage of Charles's brother, Jean, Duc de Berry, whose interest in fine books earned him the title of 'prince of medieval bibliophiles'. The ornate masterpieces of manuscript illumination produced by his artists include the Belles Heures, the Grandes Heures and the celebrated Très Riches Heures. In addition to devotional Books of Hours, his personal library embraced beautifully illuminated secular books. This volume presents 40 colour plates, as well as additional black-and-white illustrations, all drawn from the most important manuscripts produced in Europe during this 'Golden Age'. The selection has been made by Marcel Thomas, Inspector General of Libraries in France, and includes folios from the 'Tacuinum Sanitatis (or Medieval Health Handbook), the Terence Des Ducs, splendid Bibles and the glorious books of Hours.

Not believing in God, he invents his own methods, which include celibacy, chastity and the abandonment of a promising academic career. Interfering friends and relations question his sincerity, his sanity and his motives. Stuart's step-brother Edward Baitram is tormented by guilt because he has, he believes, killed his best friend. He dreams sometimes of redemption, sometimes of suicide. Edward is sent on a 'journey to the underworld' to find his natural father, the painter Jesse Baitram, whom he has not seen since childhood. He discovers a father strangely different from his expectations, and succumbs to an enchantment quite unlike the redemptive cure for which he has been seeking; and meets perhaps the one person in the world who has the power to forgive him. Meanwhile Stuart's moral apprenticeship is causing nothing but trouble. Coming to rescue Edward, Stuart provokes a final catastrophic clash of forces. Funny, compelling and extremely moving, Iris Murdoch's new novel is about obsessive guilt-ridden despair, and the difficult problem of how to try to be good - and the various magical devices which console those who are sensible enough not to try.

The authors provide a history of the subject and describe the different centres of production. The influence of Italian and French artists is discussed in relation to English manuscript painting; the work of Matthew Paris at St. Albans and the East Anglican school are reappraised, and the role of court and aristocratic patronage is fully assessed. The Golden Age of English Manuscript Painting covers the centuries of the luxury personal psalters and Books of Hours. The manuscripts rank among the finest achievements of medieval painting, and include masterpieces such as The Lindesey Psalter, The Life of Saint Alban, The Trinity Apocalypse, The Oscott Psalter, The Liber Regalis, The Beaufort/Beauchamp Hours, and the Sherborne Missal. The volume includes forty colour plates, each faced by a detailed commentary, an introduction with black and white photographs, and an up-to-date bibliography.
