Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the history of angling, providing an insightful look into the practice and the people who have loved this pastime for centuries. The author delves into the earliest known English treatise on angling, dating back to 1496, and m…eticulously traces its influence through subsequent works, culminating in Izaak Walton's seminal _The Compleat Angler_, published in 1651. Through an engaging dialogue between an experienced angler, Piscator, and a novice, Viator, the reader is immersed in the practicalities of angling, its tools, methods, and baits, as well as the ethical and spiritual dimensions of this beloved pastime. The author also unveils a previously unknown angling manuscript, penned in 1577, which may have served as a source text for Walton, highlighting the complex literary and historical threads that connect these works. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys angling or simply appreciates the timeless allure of this enduring pursuit.
