Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the annual proceedings of the Devonshire Association for the Advancement of Science, Literature, and Art. The 29th annual meeting of the association was held in Barnstaple, and the published papers detail a variety of research into the region's prehistory, social history, and literary heritage. The publication begins with a report of the annual address by Lord Clinton, the association's president, which provides an overview of the scant historical record of Roman occupation of Devon. The majority of the text comprises papers presented at the conference, which range widely across topics including the establishment and management of Devonian scientific institutions, from museums to libraries; the role of local artists and artisans in shaping the Arts and Crafts movement; and a host of detailed studies of particular archaeological sites, architectural features, and historical events that together build a rich picture of life in the region over many centuries.
