Taylor & Francis Ltd Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English
Book SynopsisAnglo-Saxon lexicography studies Latin texts and words. The earliest English lexicographers are largely unidentifiable students, teachers, scholars and missionaries. Materials brought from abroad by early teachers were augmented by their teachings and passed on by their students. Lexicographical material deriving from the early Canterbury school remains traceable in glossaries throughout this period, but new material was constantly added. Aldhelm and Ãlfric Bata, among others, wrote popular, much studied hermeneutic texts using rare, exotic words, often derived from glossaries, which then contributed to other glossaries. Ãlfric of Eynsham is a rare identifiable early English lexicographer, unusual in his lack of interest in hermeneutic vocabulary. The focus is largely on context and the process of creation and intended use of glosses and glossaries. Several articles examine intellectual centres where scholars and texts came together, for example, Theodore and Hadrian in Canterbury; ATable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Section 1 Introduction and Latin and Greek Sources: Old English glossaries: creating a vernacular, Antonette diPaolo Healey; On the nature and transmission of Latin glossaries, A.C.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English
Book SynopsisLaying the foundations for the first monolingual dictionaries of English, the sixteenth century in English lexicography is here shown to form a bridge between the glossarial compilations which had slowly evolved during the Middle Ages, and the more recognisably modern dictionary incorporating synonymy, illustrative citations and other standard features. The articles collected here treat general lexicography and dictionaries in this period, their uses, and the state of research in this field. The volume also covers a fascinating and diverse collection of lexicographers, from the well known - John Palsgrave, Thomas Cooper, Thomas Elyot and John Florio - to those about whom next to nothing is known - Richard Howlet, John Baret and Peter Levens.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I General: Narrative and persuasion in early modern dictionaries and phrasebooks, John Considine; 'Dumb significants' and early modern English definition, Ian Lancashire; Doctors and dictionaries in 16th-century England, Roderick McConchie; English specialized lexicography in the late Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, Noel Edward Osselton; Bilingual dictionaries in Shakespeare's day, D.T.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English
Book SynopsisThree major developments in English lexicography took place during the seventeenth century: the emergence of the first free standing monolingual English dictionaries; the making of new kinds of English lexicons that investigated dialect or etymology or that keyed English to invented ''philosophical'' languages; and the massive expansion of bilingual lexicography, which not only placed English alongside the European vernaculars but also handled the languages of the new world. The essays in this volume discuss not only the internal history of lexicography but also its wider relationships with culture and society.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Background: Lexicography in the early modern English period: the manuscript record, Ian Lancashire; Motives behind 17th century lexicography: a comparison between German and English dictionaries of that time, Werner Hüllen; The early modern English tradition of ’hard words’ and the Vindex anglicus (1644), Gerhard Graband; Defining English: authenticity and standardization in 17th-century dictionaries, Andrea R.

Book SynopsisThe eighteenth century is renowned for the publication of Samuel Johnson''s A Dictionary of the English Language, which reference sources still call the first English dictionary. This collection demonstrates the inaccuracy of that claim, but its tenacity in the public mind testifies to how decisively Johnson formed our sense of what a dictionary is. The essays and articles in this volume examine the already flourishing tradition of English lexicography from which Johnson drew, as represented by Kersey, Bailey, and Martin, as well as the flourishing contemporary trade in encyclopedic, technical, pronunciation, and bilingual lexicons.Trade Review'Anne C.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Imagination and Politics in SeventeenthCentury
Book SynopsisTodd Butler here proposes a new epistemology of early modern politics, one that sees-as did writers of the period-human thought as a precursor to political action. By focusing not on reason or the will but on the imagination, Butler uncovers a political culture in seventeenth-century England that is far more shifting and multi-polar than has been previously recognized. Pursuing the connection between individual thought and corporate political action, he also charts the existence of a discourse that grounds modern scholarly interests in the representational nature of early modern politics - its images, rituals and entertainment-within a language early moderns themselves used. Through analysis of a wide variety of seventeenth-century texts, including the writings of Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes, Caroline Court masques, and the poetry and prose of John Milton, he reveals a society deeply concerned with the fundamentally imaginative nature of politics. It is a strength of the study thaTrade Review'By focusing attention on processes through which beliefs and desires might be controlled through the use of words and images, Butler opens up a genuinely interdisciplinary investigation that ranges over philosophical texts, court masques and civil war pamphlets.' Malcolm Smuts, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA. 'Revisionist in the best sense of the word, Todd Butler’s study challenges long-standing stereotypes about the seventeenth-century’s hostility to the imagination, eloquently showing that even more than the Caroline court masquers, Bacon, Milton, and Hobbes made analyzing, defending, redefining, and shaping the popular imagination central to their political programs and ideals. A must-read for a wide range of specialists - literary, historical, cultural - in the period.' Catherine Gimelli Martin, University of Memphis, USA. ’Butler’s compelling book makes the reader better aware of how early modern rhetoricians, politicians, and playwrights understood and manipulated a population’s imagination.’ Journal of British Studies ’... a fresh and valuable contribution to existing studies, not only of seventeenth-century politics, but also the History of Ideas.’ Parergon ’With this insightful examination of the variegated functions and contemporary reception of the imagination, Butler has made a valuable, not least because highly original, contribution to ongoing debates about political authority and ideology in seventeenth-century England.’ Notes and Queries 'This is a dense book that looks at many minor or understudied works and synthesizes a great deal of scholarship. Nonetheless, the argument is clear, the bibliography is ample, and I learned a great deal I did not know about all four topics, from Bacon’s ideas about magic to the pamphlet wars of 1641-42.' Modern PhilologyTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Introduction: imagining the early modern mind; Bacon and the prudential imagination; The 'immaginacy' of the Caroline court masque; The politics of the Miltonic mind; Imagining the body politic: Hobbes and his critics; Conclusion: the mind, the law, and the political self; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Essays in Naval History from Medieval to Modern
Book SynopsisThe articles collected here (two appearing for the first time in English) cover a number of topics central to naval history and illustrate the author''s contention that this is not only, or even chiefly, a distinct area of special study, but rather a central theme running through the history of England, and of the whole British Isles. Though the subjects and the styles vary a good deal, the studies are linked by a common approach and some common ideas. Hence many examine ways in which naval history has formed a key element in such subjects as intellectual, religious, administrative or medical history and explored the nature and meaning of sea power as a theme. At the same time naval history is a technical subject, which demands a willingness to understand warships - the most complex artefacts - and the structure of large and complex organisations. Detailed evidence about ships and weapons can build large conclusions, for example about late Anglo-Saxon government and military organisTrade Review’... this collection will be of very great value to historians, and teachers...’ International Journal of Maritime HistoryTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Cnut's geld and the size of Danish ships; The naval service of the Cinque ports; The development of broadside gunnery, 1450-1650; The new Atlantic: naval warfare in the 16th century; The military revolution at sea; Queen Elizabeth and the myth of sea-power in English history; The victualling of the British Navy during the Seven Years War; Medicine, administration and society in the 18th-century Royal Navy; Mobilizing seapower in the 18th century; The naval chaplain in the 18th century; Medicine and science in the British Navy of the 18th century; Weather, geography and naval power in the age of sail; Form and function in European navies, 1660-1815; Navies and the Enlightenment; Commissioned officers' careers in the Royal Navy, 1690-1815; Mutiny or subversion?
