In the course of his eighty years, he accumulated an unequaled collection of manuscripts and a wealth of printed works. Munby's five volumes trace the history of Phillipps' book buying and its aftermath. Volume 1 deals with the catalogues of Phillipps' acquisitions. The second volume treats Phillipps' troubled family affairs. The third and fourth volumes explore the formation of the library, and the final volume its dispersal. "- Rosenblum. ".The volumes constitute not only the final authoritative study of the Bibliotheca Phillippica but an absorbing history of book-collecting and the book trade in the nineteenth century" - from a contemporary review by C.E. Wright. Fair/Fair.

PETERSON, LYNDA H.

Becoming a Woman of Letters: Myrhs of Authorship and Facts of the Victorian Market

New Jersey, Princeton University Press. 2009. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, 2009, Very Good Condition, Hardcover + Dustjacket, 289pp During the nineteenth century, women authors for the first time achieved professional status, secure income, and public fame. How did these women enter the literary profession; meet the demands of editors, publishers, booksellers, and reviewers; and achieve distinction as "women of letters"? Becoming a Woman of Letters examines the various ways women writers negotiated the market realities of authorship, and looks at the myths and models women writers constructed to elevate their place in the profession. Drawing from letters, contracts, and other archival material, Linda Peterson details the careers of various women authors from the Victorian period. Some, like Harriet Martineau, adopted the practices of their male counterparts and wrote for periodicals before producing a best seller; others, like Mary Howitt and Alice Meynell, began in literary partnerships with their husbands and pursued independent careers later in life; and yet others, like Charlotte Brontë, and her successors Charlotte Riddell and Mary Cholmondeley, wrote from obscure parsonages or isolated villages, hoping an acclaimed novel might spark a meteoric rise to fame. Peterson considers these women authors' successes and failures?-?the critical esteem that led to financial rewards and lasting reputations, as well as the initial successes undermined by publishing trends and pressures. Exploring the burgeoning print culture and the rise of new genres available to Victorian women authors, this book provides a comprehensive account of the flowering of literary professionalism in the nineteenth century.

Skelton from the manuscript in the Yale Beinecke Library with introduction, annotations, bibliograpy and index. English Text Volume II is a full colour facsimile of the manuscript. French Text Magellan's expedition of 1519-1522 became the first expedition to sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean , and the first to cross the Pacific. His expedition completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Magellan did not complete the entire voyage, as he was killed during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines. In 1521, traveling west from Europe, the expedition reached a region of Southeast Asia which Magellan had reached on previous voyages traveling east. Magellan thereby achieved a nearly complete personal circumnavigation of the globe. Very Good.
