hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Faint wear to cover. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Overall, very sound and presentable. Publisher's note: In January 1604, at the Hampton Court Conference, the momentous decision was taken to produce an English Bible. In retrospect, the decision certainly looks defensible. But, at the time, the proposal came as a complete surprise. There were already several good translations and one outstanding version in circulation. The result, the King James or Authorised Version, was a stunning success. After it appeared in 1611, there would not be another major attempt to create a new version for over 250 years; its dominance would last for over three centuries. But prior to its appearance, the English Bible had had a most tumultuous history. Even though they would eventually be tolerated, many of the versions emerged from the shadows of illegal movements. Others were organised attempts to produce a standard Bible for the realm. Taken as a whole, this resulted in a chaotic welter of Renaissance English Bibles. Nevertheless, that welter contained a treasury of expression and scholarship. The King James translators drew upon all of their English predecessors and much more besides. The authors offer both a political and literary history of the Bible. Their purpose is to explain how styles of presenting Scriptures in English developed out of political and ecclesiastical circumstances. The result is a refreshing reassessment of the literary and scholarly accomplishment of all the Renaissance Bibles and a clear account of what is different and distinctive in the King James Version. They also linger over the texts of the Bible, comparing significant passages in the various versions. Such close study of the texts is warranted because the English Bible has had a profound effect on English language, literature, politics and ideas; it has left a lasting impression on the language that we speak today. No other language, except perhaps German, can boast that its vernacular translation of the Bible is a literary masterpiece in its own right. Fine illustrations, with lengthy captions, are an integral part of the book. The images, mostly from extraordinarily rare imprints, make Let It Go among the People unusually vivid and captivating.
