Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Although Daniel Everett was a missionary, far from converting the Pirahas, they converted him. He shows the slow, meticulous steps by which he gradually mastered their language and his gradual realisation that its unusual nature closely reflected its speakers' startlingly original perceptions of the world. Everett describes how he began to realise that his discoveries about the Piraha language opened up a new way of understanding how language works in our minds and in our lives, and that this way was utterly at odds with Noam Chomsky's universally accepted linguistic theories. The perils of passionate academic opposition were then swiftly conjoined to those of the Amazon in a debate whose outcome has yet to be won. Everett's views are most recently discussed in Tom Wolfe's bestselling The Kingdom of Speech. Adventure, personal enlightenment and the makings of a scientific revolution proceed together in this vivid, funny and moving book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …

Kartoniert / Broschiert. Zustand: New. Fusing adventure, anthropology, linguistics and psychology, and drawing on Everett s pioneering research with the Amazonian Pirahas, this book argues that language is embedded within - and is inseparable from - its specific culture. It presents the controve.

The present item is from the papers of the printer and publisher Richard Bentley (1794-1871), whose career is described in his entry, and that of his business associate Henry Colburn (c.1784-1855), in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. (The pair's partnership had been dissolved in 1832, with Colburn agreeing not to leave the London business to Bentley.) The material clearly consists of a section of the work of Hannah D. Burdon who was the daughter of wealthy Durham mineowner, industrialist and author William Burdon (1764-1818). Her first novel 'Seymour of Sudley' (published in 1836), sent to Bentley for setting up in type. There is a good entry on Burdon on the website 'At the Circulating Library / A Database of Victorian Fiction, 1837-1901'. Fourteen novels are listed, published between 1836 and 1866. Her first eight novels were historical, but following the death of her first husband in 1850, the last six were 'social-problem" novels published under the pseudonym 'Lord B******m' (which has lead some to assume that the books were the work of the Earl of Belfast). The present manuscript is part of the first of her novels, and the only one to be published by Bentley: 'SEYMOUR OF SUDLEY; / OR, / THE LAST OF THE FRANCISCANS. / BY HANNAH D. BURDON. / IN THREE VOLUMES. / VOL. I. [II. III.] / LONDON: / RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET, / SUCCESSOR TO HENRY COLBURN. / 1836.' The autograph manuscript is unsigned, 30pp, 4to, paginated 27-56, with around 22 to 24 lines to the page, neatly written out on fifteen leaves of wove paper variously watermarked 'S G / 1821', 'G & R TURNER / 1827' and 'R TASSELL / 1828 [1830]'. All the leaves are separate, except for those carrying pp.43-46, which constitute a bifolium. The item is in good condition, lightly aged and worn, with one corner of each of the fifteen leaves dog-eared, and a tiny amount of loss to the corner of the last leaf, resulting in absence of the word 'be' from the bottom left-hand corner of the penultimate page. The bifolium has a closed tear at the foot of the gutter. The matter present in the document comes from the start of the book, and constitutes the conclusion of Chapter II, and the greater part of Chapter III, beginning with the paragraph that starts ''Gradually, as if the warning of the stranger had vanished from his remembrance', which features in the printed version at vol. 1, p.23; and ending with the words 'we are weak creatures, and humility is' at vol.1, p.48. There are notes in pencil (for typesetters?) on: p.2, '25 C Vol. I'; p.3[9] (in pencil), 'Hobhouse'; p.41, 'Byford'; p.47, 'Sherry'; p.48, 'Byford'; p.51, 'Wilcox'. There a couple of dozen sylistic emendations (the most significant being the substitution of 'without interchanging a word' for 'in uninterrupted silence'), but the document is practically a fair copy, although a character named in the manuscript as 'Lord Frederick' is renamed 'Lord Francis' and 'Francis' (as in the published version) throughout. …
