The Roxburghe Club, founded in 1812, has an unbroken publishing history from 1814 to the present day. The Early Roxburghe Club 1812–1835 offers a new narrative for the formative years of the Roxburghe Club, for the ‘bibliomania’ of the Romantic period and for early nineteenth-century antiquarian culture and its relationship to the emergent popularity and status of English vernacular literature. By examining in detail the make-up and membership of the club, including its social and political affinities, this revised history of the first two decades of its existence offers both an alternative view of the early club and its significant contribution to the move between antiquarian and scholarly areas of influence in the study of English literature.

The Roxburghe Club, founded in 1812, has an unbroken publishing history from 1814 to the present day. Since the Club's edition of 'Havelok the Dane' appeared in 1828, the Roxburghe has gained a reputation as a producer of beautifully printed editions of manuscripts and reprinted early books. The founding period of the Club, however, has been viewed with less approval, often seen as a frivolous, unscholarly period of wasted years when little of value was produced by a membership composed of dilettante aristocrats. This work offers a new narrative of the formative years of the Roxburghe Club, for the bibliomania of the Romantic period and for early nineteenth-century antiquarian culture and its relationship to the emergent popularity and status of English vernacular literature. It addresses what is shown to be a long-repeated myth: what the Club was and whether its scholarship and editing of early English literature merited respect or mockery. The book covers the make-up and membership of the Club including social and political affinities, literary and scholarly achievements and the substantial contribution made by the Club to widening awareness and understanding of earlier English writers and the establishment of a canon of English literature. This revised history offers an alternative narrative for the move between antiquarian and scholarly areas of influence in the study of English literature, and offers a plausible mechanism for the growing acceptance of vernacular English literature, both in academia and in a more general cultural sense.

LONGLISTED FOR THE HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION NON-FICTION CROWN A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A sweeping, absorbing history, deeply researched, of that extraordinary and enduring phenomenon: the library' Richard Ovenden, author of Burning the Books: A History of Knowledge under Attack Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes or filled with bean bags and children's drawings - the history of the library is rich, varied and stuffed full of incident. In this, the first major history of its kind, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen explore the contested and dramatic history of the library, from the famous collections of the ancient world to the embattled public resources we cherish today. Along the way, they introduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great collections, trace the rise and fall of fashions and tastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanours committed in pursuit of rare and valuable manuscripts.

For over seven hundred years, bodies of writing in vernacular languages served an indispensable role in the religious and intellectual culture of medieval Christian England, yet the character and extent of their importance have been insufficiently recognized. A longstanding identification of medieval western European Christianity with the Latin language and a lack of awareness about the sheer variety and quantity of vernacular religious writing from the English Middle Ages have hampered our understanding of the period, exercising a tenacious hold on much scholarship. Bringing together work across a range of disciplines, including literary study, Christian theology, social history, and the history of institutions, Balaam's Ass attempts the first comprehensive overview of religious writing in early England's three most important vernacular languages, Old English, Insular French, and Middle English, between the ninth and sixteenth centuries. Nicholas Watson argues not only that these texts comprise the oldest continuous tradition of European vernacular writing, but that they are essential to our understanding of how Christianity shaped and informed the lives of individuals, communities, and polities in the Middle Ages. This first of three volumes lays out the long post-Reformation history of the false claim that the medieval Catholic Church was hostile to the vernacular. It analyzes the complicated idea of the vernacular, a medieval innovation instantiated in a huge body of surviving vernacular religious texts. Finally, it focuses on the first, long generation of these writings, in Old English and early Middle English.

Libros: leerlos, coleccionarlos y guardarlos ha sido fuente de alegría y estrés para los amantes de la lectura durante siglos. Alucinados escritores han tratado de capturar las particulares relaciones que formamos con nuestra biblioteca y los problemas que enfrentamos para preservarla. Sumérgete en esta ecléctica antología y escucha a un icónico primer ministro reflexionando sobre la mejor manera de almacenar tus libros o a un ilustre presidente de Estados Unidos seleccionando las mejores obras para leer al aire libre. Disfruta de las serias especulaciones de un filósofo del siglo XIX sobre las implicancias psicológicas de la lectura y de las menos serias especulaciones sobre el peligro de dejar que los niños (los “enemigos de los libros”) se acerquen a tu colección. Las múltiples facetas de la manía por los libros son celebradas con sinceridad e irreverencia en esta animada selección de ensayos, poemas, conferencias y comentarios que van desde el siglo XVI al siglo XX.

Una fascinante exploración de la historia de las bibliotecas y de las personas que las construyeron, desde el mundo antiguo hasta la era digital. Famosas en todo el mundo conocido, celosamente guardadas por coleccionistas privados, construidas a lo largo de siglos, destruidas en un solo día, ornamentadas con pan de oro y frescos, o llenas de sacos de judías y dibujos infantiles: la historia de las bibliotecas es rica, variada y está repleta de incidentes. Los historiadores Andrew Pettegree y Arthur der Weduwen nos presentan a los anticuarios y filántropos que dieron forma a las grandes colecciones del mundo, trazan el ascenso y la caída de las modas literarias y revelan los delitos y faltas cometidos en la búsqueda de manuscritos singulares. Al hacerlo, revelan que, si bien las colecciones en sí son frágiles y a menudo se arruinan en pocas décadas, la idea de la biblioteca ha sido notablemente resistente, ya que cada generación crea —y rehace— de nuevo la institución. Bellamente escrito y profundamente investigado, Bibliotecas es una lectura esencial para amantes de los libros, coleccionistas y, en general, cualquiera que alguna vez se haya perdido felizmente entre librerías.

How did the buying and collecting of books figure in the lives and works of the Romantics, those supposed apostles of spiritualized poetic genius? Why was book collecting controversial during the Romantic period, and what role has book collecting played in the history of homophobia? The Queer Bookishness of Romanticism: Ornamental Community addresses these and more questions about the suppressed bookish dimension of Romanticism, as well as Romanticism’s historical forebears and Victorian inheritors. The analysis ranges widely, addressing the bookish proclivities of the "romantic friends" the Ladies of Llangollen, the camp works about book collecting produced by a subculture calling themselves “ornamental gentlemen,” narratives of prototypically punk collecting and flâneuring by the essayist and collector Charles Lamb, and rare-book forgeries by Thomas J. Wise and Harry Forman, queer bibliographer-scholars responsible for canonizing some of the Romantic poets during the Victorian period. In the process, this book uncovers surprising connections between conceptions of literature and sexuality; literary materiality and queerness; and forgery, sexuality, and authorship.
