Excerpt from Vindiciae Hibernicae Dissatisfied with the mean appearance of the second edition of this work, in point of paper and printing, and also with the mal-arrangement of the materials, and being, moreover, desirous to leave it to my descendants in a more satisfactory form, I determined, some time since, at the advanced age of seventy-six, though totally blind of one eye, and obliged to be careful of its more fortunate neighbour, to prepare for the press a third improved edition, and to undertake the arduous labour of verifying all the quotations, no less than 1143 in number. My first idea was to publish it myself; but I soon found that this plan would be irksome and vexatious, and unsuitable to my present situation, having retired from business several years since. I therefore made over the copy-right to Mr. R. P. Desilver, engaging to purchase from him one hundred copies at retail price, (that is, to pay him $250 for the hundred copies on delivery, ) and guarantee him from loss by an edition of 500 copies. On these terms alone would he undertake the work. Measuring the zeal and national feeling of others by my own, I had no hesitation in agreeing to this arrangement.

Early Modern Corpse And Shakespeare S Theatre written by Susan Zimmerman and has been published by Edinburgh University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-08-08 with Literary Criticism categories.

Within a theoretical framework that makes use of history, psychoanalysis and anthropology, The Early Modern Corpse and Shakespeare's Theatre explores the relationship of the public theatre to the question of what constituted the 'dead' in early modern English culture.Susan Zimmerman argues that concepts of the corpse as a semi-animate, generative and indeterminate entity were deeply rooted in medieval religious culture. Such concepts ran counter to early modern discourses that sought to harden categorical distinctions between body/spirit, animate/inanimate - in particular, the attacks of Reformists on the materiality of 'dead' idols, and the rationale of the new anatomy for publicly dissecting 'dead' bodies. Zimmerman contends that within this context, theatrical representations of the corpse or corpse/revenant - as seen here in the tragedies of Shakespeare and his contemporaries - uniquely showcased the theatre's own ideological and performative agency. Features*Original in its conjunction of critical theory (Bataille, Kristeva, Lacan, Benjamin) with an historical account of the shifting status of the corpse in late medieval and early modern England.*The first study to demonstrate connections between the meanings attached to the material body in early modern Protestantism, the practice of anatomical dissection, and the English public theatre.*Strong market appeal to scholars and graduate students with interests in the theatre of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, early modern religion and science, and literary theory. *Relevant to advanced undergraduates taking widely taught courses in Shakespeare and in Renaissance drama.

The Medieval Manuscripts At Maynooth written by Peter J. Lucas and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014 with Manuscripts, Medieval categories.

"This book provides an in-depth guide to the Maynooth medieval manuscripts (some sixteen of them, plus fragments) with illustrations. The descriptions of the manuscripts include complete palaeographical and codicological details and full information on the contents of the manuscripts and their history as far as it is known. Some of the manuscripts are of particular importance, either for their texts or for their illustrations, which are of good quality, or in one case because of the particular circumstances in which it was made. This material has lain mostly unknown for up to two hundred years, and in most cases the works contained in the manuscripts have not hitherto been identified. For the first time, consideration is also given to the collection as a whole, and how its make-up may reflect the history and character of the institution where it was built up. In the absence of any one major donor whose interests might have dominated, the collection grew over decades mainly in the nineteenth century. It therefore reflects the tastes of a succession of senior members of the college plus a few donors"--Publisher description.
