First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. Slight wear and a couple of slight marks to D/J. With a Preface by Philip Larkin. Between 1963-1972 the Arts Council collected through its National Manuscript Collection of Contemporary Writers over two hundred manuscript volumes. They were acquired by the British Musuem - and, more recently - other libraries. Manuscripts of poets include the two important Auden notebooks, the textually valuable Muir and Douglas drafts and notedbooks or drafts of Blunden, Fuller, Hughes, larkin, Porter, Spender, Dylan Thomas and many others. Some interesting manuscripts of prose writers are described, among them work of Stella Gibbons, V. S. Pritchett, Jean Rhys, Stevie Smith and Edward Upward. Many letters and other authographs have come to the collection, including those of Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas and J. R. R. Tolkien, illustrated in the plates. There are also very large groups of papers of Cornford, Gascoyne and Watkins, and the Poetry Bookshop collection. The material is of great interest to anyone who wishes to study how the modern writer sets about his work. In the application of the traditional cataloguing techniques to the work of contemporary writers, this catalogue breaks new ground. Illustrated. 168 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 etc.).

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. ere are thirteen peer-reviewed essays by leading historians exploring the subject of death and dying in the middle ages. The essays explore some of the many ways in which death in its practical and devotional aspects impinged on the lives of medieval people, men and women, rich and poor, both in England and in continental Europe. Underlying and linking the papers is the medieval preoccupation with the transitory nature of life and the fear of sudden death. A study of the text and illumination of the famous 11th-century Tiberius Psalter in the British Library begins the book. Two essays follow about sudden death, mainly murder, in London and Bologna. In the first of three literary papers, purgatory is discussed in the context of the Compileison, an influential but little-known prose treatise; the second concentrates on the diverse ways death is treated in late medieval English verse, and the third on 'Laments', verse elegies for eminent people in manuscript and print. In his last Harlaxton paper, the late Clive Burgess proposed a new perspective on English parish chantries, suggesting that as well as caring for the salvation of individual souls, chantries meant extra priests, vessels and vestments, benefitting the Church as a whole. On a different scale, written and visual sources allow for a close look at the richly endowed perpetual chantries established by Isabella of Portugal, third wife of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, in Carthusian houses. Funerals and wills are illustrated by the state funeral in Florence of the condottiere, Niccolò da Tolentino, by the funeral palls of Henry VII, and by the complex and exceptionally well-documented story of the execution of the will of Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote in Warwickshire, who died in 1525. Monuments commemorating the medieval dead are represented by a splendid but now lost tomb in Bruges, and by a chantry chapel in Hexham Abbey. The authors of the essays in order of appearance are T. A. Heslop, Henry Summerson, Trevor Dean, Nicholas Watson, Julia Boffey, A. S. G. Edwards, Clive Burgess, Nicholas Flory, Jane Bridgeman, Lisa Monnas, Richard Asquith, Ann Adams and Julian Luxford. The book is indexed and has 62 pictures. 259pp.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. DW sunned and a little creased. Binding is sound and the cloth is clean For a short time during the Hundred Years War, the Lancastrian monarchy, supported by its Burgundian allies, successfully claimed to rule Paris and northern France. John, Duke of Bedford, brother of Henry V and an outstanding administrator and soldier, was regent of France for his nephew, Henry VI, from 1422 to 1435. Three inventories of Bedford's wordly goods, compiled after his death for his executors, have survived in the Public Record Office, London. Hitherto unpublished, these documents are of exceptional importance for historians and art-historians of later medieval England and France. The introduction and notes which enrich this critical edition explore Bedford's court, his collections, and his artistic patronage in London, Paris and Rouen. The author discusses questions of provenance - the French royal collections and spoils of war - and investigates a wealth of administrative, financial and legal issues raised by the inventories, as well as technical terminology in Middle English and French. The book concludes with biographies of forty of Bedford's officers and creditors in England and France. Bedford's executors were historical figures of the first importance such as Cardinal Beaufort and Sir John Fastolf; their activities are unravelled against the background of the loss of France and civil war in England. Historians of the fifteenth century, specialists in social and economic history, in goldsmith's work, textiles and manuscripts, will find much of importance in this richly illustrated book. Jenny stratford is a former Assistant Keeper, Department of Manuscripts, the British Museum. A fifteenth-century specialist, her books include catalogues of manuscripts in the British Library and the Royal Library, Windsor Castle. She is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of the Royal Historical Society.
