Book Description
Excerpt from St. Ronan's Well, Vol. 2 of 3 In such a town it usually happens that the Sheriff-clerk, especially supposing him agent for Several lairds of the higher order, is possessed of'one of the best-looking houses; and such was that of Mr Bindloose. None of the smartness of the brick-built and brass-hammered mansion of a southern attorney appeared indeed in this mansion, which was a tall, thin, grimdooking building, in the centre of the town, with narrow Windows and projecting gables, notched into that sort of descent, called crow-steps, and having the lower easements defended by stancheons of iron; for Mr Bindloose, as frequently happens, kept a branch of one Of the national banks, which had been lately established in the town of March thorn.

Excerpt from St. Ronan's Well, Vol. 1 of 3 The little village of St Ronan's, though it had not yet fallen into the state of entire oblivion we have described, was, about twenty years since, fast verging towards it. The situation had some thing in it so romantic, that it provoked the pen cil of every passing tourist; and we will endea vour, therefore, to describe it in language which can scarce be less intelligible than some of their sketches, avoiding, however, for reasons which seem to us of weight, to give any more exact in dication of the site, than that it is on the southern side of the Forth, and not above thirty miles dis tant from the English frontier.

Author: Sandro Jung
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 1843843439
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The complexity of print culture in Britain between the seventeenth and nineteenth century is investigated in these wide-ranging articles. The essays collected here offer examinations of bibliographical matters, publishing practices, the illustration of texts in a variety of engraved media, little studied print culture genres, the critical and editorial fortunes of individual works, and the significance of the complex interrelationships that authors entertained with booksellers, publishers, and designers. They investigate how all these relationships affected the production of print commodities and how all the agents involved in the making of books contributed to the cultural literacy of readers and the formation of a canon of literary texts. Specific topics include a bibliographical study of Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and its editions from its first publication to the present day; the illustrations of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and the ways in which the interpretive matrices of book illustration conditioned the afterlife and reception of Bunyan's work; the almanac and the subscription edition; publishing history, collecting, reading, and textual editing, especially of Robert Burns's poems and James Thomson's The Seasons; the "printing for the author" practice; the illustrated and material existence of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley novels, and the Victorian periodical, The Athenaeum. Sandro Jung is Research Professor of Early Modern British Literature and Director of the Centre for the Study of Text and Print Culture at Ghent University. Contributors: Gerard Carruthers, Nathalie Collé-Bak, Marysa Demoor, Alan Downie, Peter Garside, Sandro Jung, Brian Maidment, Laura L. Runge.
