Richard III, the most notorious and most discussed of English kings, was also unusual among his contemporaries in regularly signing his books. This characteristic, among others, has enabled Anne Sutton and Livia Visser-Fuchs to reconstruct his library, and link it to the culture and reading habits of his generation. The books of Richard III are typical of what was available to and popular with the medieval reader – religion, chivalry, history, genealogy, advice on how to govern, romance and prophecy – and allow us to draw an interesting overview of fifteenth-century opinions. Each type of book is examined on its own terms and then related to the known preoccupations of Richard himself, his associates and to the political practices of his time. Containing valuable biographical material, insights into the history and politics of the later fifteenth century, and much detail on late medieval piety and other important aspects of contemporary culture, this fully illustrated survey has wide-ranging significance for all who study the history and literature of the medieval period.

This English language edition is far more than a simple translation of the work "L'Histoire des vaccinations" published in 2008 in the same collection. The French edition has actually been totally revised and improved. In particular, it features a chapter dedicated entirely to yellow fever. A greater number of illustrations are included. This book will undoubtedly be of great interest to a section of the general public and to specialists. The history of vaccinations is a significant phase in the history of humanity. With the development of hygiene, vaccinations have certainly been the most notable progress of medicine. Nevertheless, this subject which has revolutionised human and animal medicine has long been explored poorly or not at all. This oversight has now been addressed through this fascinating work. All translated Pasteur texts are from the original manuscripts found in his laboratory notebooks. Finally, the moral problems inherent in the use of vaccines are addressed and at times, appear strangely similar to current situations…

The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Simply, and with great humanity, The Eradication of Smallpox tells the story of smallpox - it's origins, the horror of the disease, and the millions of people killed or disfigured by it. During the 18th and 19th centuries, it is estimated that one out of every ten people died from the disease; some say one out of every seven. Smallpox attacked very young children in particular. The story progresses with the practice of variolation, the life of Edward Jenner who first proposed 'vaccination' with cow pox vaccine (little James Phipps was the first person ever vaccinated in this way), the years of debate about the efficacy of this novel method, and the later worldwide initiatives to rid the planet of this horrific disease. In 1979, the story culminates in the only total eradication of an infectious disease that mankind has ever accomplished. This year celebrates the 20th anniversary of this momentous achievement. In the intervening years, debate has raged about what we should do with the remaining smallpox viral stocks. Do we destroy them, so they can't fall into the hands of bioterrorists, or do we maintain them, in case they may be of use in some unexpected way, for therapeutic purposes? These questions are thoroughly discussed in the book. Covers the background, history and origin of smallpox, and brings the story up to the present day Gives full and interesting details of Jenner's life, and tells how this humble country doctor brought about a revolution in vaccination Includes many quotes from historical figures Features 120 high quality photographs, many originating from unique historical plates in the author's private collection Includes new research data Provides new views on the eradication and destruction of smallpox

THE hard, pungent, scintillating cleverness that marked Miss Hunt's earlier method has been retained through the immeasurable advance of her later work. And this diamond sparkle, taken into conjunction with the high seriousness and insistent pathos that found so fine an expression in White Rose of Weary Leaf, lifts the cleverness at times into something not unlike genius. The old eternal Weltschmerz known to Solomon, is known, we should imagine, most abundantly to Miss Hunt. But in her case it only reaches the reader after being absorbed through an intensely modern intelligence. There is nothing defiant, by the way, about Miss Hunt's modernity: her metaphors and her epigrams, though the newest of the new, come to her naturally -- because she happens to have that sort of up-todate mind, and to think in that sort of up-to-date language, not to say slang. All this applies pre-eminently to Tales of the Uneasy, which have, in addition, a haunting value of their own. The title, by the way, is singularly felicitous. "Uneasy" is exactly the right word to apply both to the experiences they relate and the effect they have on the reader. They are not exactly ghost stories -- or at least they bear very little relation to the old turnip-head ghost of Christmas fiction, but they are things to make the flesh creep nevertheless. The mise en scene is more often than not normal, even commonplace. Then a touch of uneasiness troubles the atmosphere, deepening by almost imperceptible degrees to actual horror. Once begun, no story of them all can be left unread, and for our sins, in the case, for instance, of that most piteous and most moving tale of helpless infancy, "The Barometer," cannot be forgotten. All the plots -- save those in which the more realistic details are candidly taken from certain newspaper reports, are fresh and unhackneyed, if such words can be applied to things so bitter-sweet, ' so smarting, so dipped in the knowledge of both worlds as these. "The Telegram" is the title of the first one. It tells how a flirt, having made use of a man's devotion for many years, at length decides to marry him, with the idea that his companionship will be preferable to that of the inevitable paid companion. But, unfortunately, she invites to dinner, and makes her proposal to, a man whom an after-comparison of dates proves to have been a corpse at the time. There is nothing to suggest the supernatural during the course of that formal t£te-a-t£te dinner-party, but the reader feels its uncanniness in his bones. Equally creepy is "The Prayer," where, in answer to a wife's passionate peremptory prayer to the Almighty, her husband is given back to her from the dead. He was an uncomfortable yoke-fellow, and the sense not only of death and the grave but of a thousand sepulchres seems to have got into that particular story. But above and beyond all the rest is "The Operation," which is one of the weirdest and most powerful short stories we ever remember to have read. We will not disclose the plot, since its force and poignancy all lie in the telling. But it should become in its way a little classic. --The Outlook, Vol.27
