Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 382 pages. dj chipped and worn. Price clipped, name ffep, If an anecdote is to live beyond its own day, it must not only be worth the t elling but be well told, and from over a thousand years of memoirs, reminiscence s, 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 -- J ohnson, Scott, Henry James, Wilde and Shaw -- but also almost every major figure in English literature and a host of minor ones. We hear of Bede and David Hume and Sterne on their deathbeds, Milton's body being disinterred and his bones pil laged by curio-hunters, and Shelley's body being cremated on the beach near Viar eggio, John Stubbs (author of a pamphlet that had angered Queen Elizabeth) conde mned to have his right hand cut off and lifting his hat with his left hand cryin g 'God save the Queen!', Sir Walter Scott secreting in his coat-tails the glass out of which George IV had just drunk a toast, and then sitting down and breakin g it, Ronald Firbank entertained to a luxurious tea at Oxford by Siegfried Sasso on, and nibbling a single grape. Professor Sutherland's anthology offers an ofte n affecting, always entertaining corrective to the familiar outlines of literary history.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a major survey of the English newspaper and the way it developed from 1660 to the early eighteenth century, a crucial period in its long history. Professor Sutherland's approach is comprehensive and topics covered include: the administration of newspapers, their sources of information, the reliability of reporting, the contributions of country and foreign correspondents, and the extent to which papers were able to print political news and express political opinions in a period of government repression. A final chapter provides an account of the chaotic and often dangerous lives of newspaper men and women. The emphasis throughout falls on how much was actually achieved in difficult circumstances, and how often modern developments were anticipated. This will be a useful work of reference for scholars of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature, as well as for political and social historians.…
