Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Reprint. Hardback. The Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes. Slight shelf wear and a couple of slight tears to edge of D/J. If an anecdote is to live beyond its own day, it must not only be work the telling but be well told, and from over a thousand years of memoirs, reminscences, and letters Professor Sutherland has gathered almost five hundred that meet these demanding criteria. Here are comic, poignant, and revealing stories by or about not only those famous for their eccentricity, forthrightness, and wit, but also almost every major figure in English literature and a host of minor ones. 382 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. The Oxford Book of English Talk. Foxing to end inside covers and edge. Wear and a couple of small tears to edge of D/J. Browning to spine of D/J. Englishmen have been talking English for many centuries. How did they talk? how much of that flood of conversation has remained? And where is it to be found? The compiler of this new 'Oxford' book has gone to many odd places to find examples of recorded talk from the fifteenth century to the present day. Death-beds, executions of great men, the trials of statesmen and pickpockets, histories and memoirs, biographie4s and autobiographies, diaries, letters, and many other sources have yielded examples of authentic conversation; and these have been supplemented by passages from the English dramatists and novelists. 453 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
