Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2015 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. Volume 2 examines the period from1750-1820, which was a crucial period in the development of the novel in English. Not only was it the time of Smollett, Sterne, Austen, and Scott, but it also saw the establishment and definition of the novel as we know it, as well as the emergence of a number of subgenres, several of which remain to this day. Conventionally however, it has been one of the least studied areas-seen as a falling off from the heyday of Richardson and Fielding, or merely a prelude to the great Victorian novelists. This volume takes full advantage of recent major advances in scholarly bibliography, new critical assessments, and the fresh availability of long-neglected fictional works, to offer a new mapping and appraisal. The opening section, as well as some remarkable later chapters, consider historical conditions underlying the production, circulation, and reception of fiction during these seventy years, a period itself marked by a rapid growth in output and expansion in readership. Other chapters cover the principal forms, movements, and literary themes of the period, with individual contributions on the four major novelists (named above), seen in historical context, as well as others on adjacent fields such as the shorter tale, magazine fiction, children's literature, and drama. The volume also views the novel in the light of other major institutions of modern literary culture, including book reviewing and the reprint trade, all of which played a part in advancing a sense of the novel as a defining feature of the British cultural landscape. A focus on 'global' literature and imported fiction in two concluding chapters in turn reflects a broader concern for transnational literary studies in general.

Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. 1st. This "history of Bullendale and the generation of electric power in Central Otago" (sub-title) was commissioned to mark the centenary of the Central Otago Power Board (COPB) but is, in fact, a graphic account of some of the earliest pioneering in this energy field in NZ. It is much more than a record of an organiation, but rather of major early developments in the generaltion and distribution of electric power using innovation and engineering, particularly of hydro-generation. Gold was discovered in Central Otago in 1861and by 1864 the gold mine at Bullendale (north from Queenstown on Skippers Creek in formidiably mountainous terrain) was generating electric power for lighting purposes and two years later had completed a much larger hyro-electric station which, according to Peter Chandler's introductiion "was the first significant generation and transmission of hydro electic power for industrial use in New Zealand." The book then follows the development of hydro-electrical power production in Central Otago, which with its abundance of water in fast flowing steams and rivers, was ideal for this operation. A number of power stations were constructed, mainly for mining purposes, but also used for domestic, civic and other industries throughout the area. In mining it was employed in underground quartz workings and dredging extraction. A number of schemes of various size, efficiency, practicality and economics followed and over the years either fell by the way-side or came under the COPB umbrella, until it too was largely superceded in generation responsibilities as massive Government owned hydro stations, such as Roxborough and Clyde ,were established in the region from the 1950s. However, this unique book is industrial history at its best, a literal gold mine of information on this formative stage in the introduction of the engery source on which almost everyone, every industry and installation depends. Here is the story of the innovative, progressive and determined minds and men responsibe for so many "firsts" in power. As such it is also a social history, a reminder of pioneer days, of advancing technology from the primative to the practical and when getting things done depended on will-power, strong muscles and determination. The authors' text material begins with a brief outline of the evolutionary process of power production before examining the regional history. The book presents a remarkable and varied selection of illustrations, ranging over historic b/w photographs, maps, plans of mining operations, including dredges and underground workings, additionally many illustrations from contemporary engineering journals show the types of generating machines used, dams and other constructions, plus a number of maps, plans and documents. As a bonus, the book itself is a high quality item. First edition of 1986 from COPB. 186 pages, illustrated throughout.
