Taylor & Francis Ltd The History of the Book in the West 14551700
Book SynopsisBeginning with one of the crucial technological breakthroughs of Western history - the development of moveable type by Johann Gutenberg - The History of the Book in the West 1455-1700 covers the period that saw the growth and consolidation of the printed book as a significant feature of Western European culture and society. The volume collects together seventeen key articles, written by leading scholars during the past five decades, that together survey a wide range of topics, such as typography, economics, regulation, bookselling, and reading practices. Books, whether printed or in manuscript, played a major role in the religious, political, and intellectual upheavals of the period, and understanding how books were made, distributed, and encountered provides valuable new insights into the history of Western Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries.Trade Review’the volume serves as testament to Gadd’s ability to select judiciously...the volume is comprehensive in the way it traces the backbone of book history scholarship. It is unlikely to be superseded for quite some time.’ Renaissance Studies '...a representative sample of the many different approaches to book history scholars have undertaken over the past several decades...The editor is to be praised for executing well a very difficult job.' College & Research Libraries 'This volume is in every respect...a solid and useful collection and addition to the growing literature on book history'. Notes and Queries 'Gadd has done fine scholarly service in this compilation, and his introduction is itself a wonderful entry point to the type of study of book history that is becoming more and more in vogue.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Insuring the Industrial Revolution Fire Insurance
Book SynopsisFire had always been one of the greatest threats to an early modern British society that relied on the naked flame as the prime source of heating, lighting and cooking. Yet whilst the danger of fire had always been taken seriously, it was not until the start of the eighteenth century that a sophisticated system of insurance became widely available. Whilst a number of high profile fires during the seventeenth century had drawn attention to the economic havoc a major conflagration could wreak, it was not until the effects of sustained industrialization began to alter the economic and social balance of the nation, that fire insurance really took off as a concept. The culmination of ten years of research, this book is the definitive work on early British fire insurance. It also provides a foundation for future comparative international studies of this important financial service, and for a greater level of theorising by historians about the relationship between insurance, perceptions of risk, economic development and social change. Through a detailed study of the archives of nearly 50 English and Scottish insurance companies founded between 1696 and 1850 - virtually all the records currently available - together with the construction of many new datasets on output, performance and markets, this book presents one of the most comprehensive histories ever written of a financial service. As well as measuring the size, market structure and growth rate of insurance, and the extent to which the first industrial revolution was insured, it also demonstrates ways in which insurance can be linked into wider issues of economic and social change in Britain. These range from an examination of the joint-stock company form of organization - to an analysis of changing attitudes towards fire hazard during the course of the eighteenth century. The book concludes by emphasising the ambivalent character of fire insurance in eighteenth and early nineteenth century Britain, contrasting the industry's dynamic long-run rate of growth with its more conservative attitude to product design and diversification.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2004 Wadsworth Prize for Business History, awarded by the UK Business Archives Council for the best book in business history. '... meticulously researched... this monograph, the result of over a decade's research, makes a major contribution not only to insurance history, but also to British economic history and, in parts, to the social history of industrialization. With extensive footnotes containing a mine of detailed comparative evidence, Pearson has produced a first-class study of an industry that underwent major structural and cultural changes between 1700 and 1850.' Economic History Review 'Despite its rather obvious importance to modern economic development, the history of fire and property insurance has been largely neglected. Until now that is. Robin Pearson's exhaustively researched and meticulously argued study [...] offers the definitive history of the British Fire Insurance industry through the middle of the nineteenth century. Even more critically, Pearson establishes just how integral property insurance was to the industrial revolution. Insuring the Industrial Revolution is a singular achievement. Robin Pearson demonstrates that fire insurance played a consequential, if sometimes ambivalent, role in the industrial revolution. He also provides a roadmap that future scholars in this area will follow when constructing their own studies of the history of fire insurance. I hope that this fine study garners the wide audience it deserves.' EH.NET 'Pearson has done a superb job [...] to assemble the only truly comprehensive history of the British fire insurance industry to date.' Enterprise & Society 'This is a carefully crafted book that fully achieves its objectives.'

Taylor & Francis The Notebooks of Nehemiah Wallington 16181654 A
Book SynopsisWritings by early-modern English artisans are rare and thus precious. London wood-turner and puritan, Nehemiah Wallington (1598-1658) is exceptional for having compiled fifty notebooks between 1618 and 1654. Although only seven of these are extant, they not only provide a wealth of valuable information about life in seventeenth-century London, but more importantly give access to the author's personal world, both inner and outer. Providing substantial excerpts from the surviving notebooks, this edition covers the broad range of subjects that animated Wallington's everyday life. Accounts of incidents in his domestic, working and religious life sit side by side with sustained meditations on his spiritual state; reports on national events are given, along with their possible providential meanings. Particularly illuminating are Wallington's reflections on his own mental wellbeing, at times suicidal, at others ecstatic. From letters on religious matters to expressions of anxiety over the illnesses and mishaps of his wife and children, from vexed thoughts about money matters to chronicling the tumults of civil war London, this collection provides a window into everyday life in seventeenth-century England. By making the writings of Nehemiah Wallington available in a modern edited edition, fully footnoted and referenced, together with a substantial scholarly introduction, we hope that this little-known London wood-turner will soon take his deserved place besides Pepys and Evelyn as one of the authentic voices commenting on early modern England.Trade Review'David Booy has made an admirable selection from the notebooks, sympathetic to Wallington's own priorities and preoccupations, which he has scrupulously edited, retaining Wallington's erratic orthography, adding necessary punctuation, identifying the sources of Biblical quotations, the authors and titles of tracts and pamphlets from which Wallington copied excerpts, and the identities of the people he alludes to in the texts. Generations of readers will turn to this edition with gratitude'. Paul Seaver, Stanford University,USA 'Nehemiah Wallington's prolific writings show us, in graphic and immediate detail, the dangerously exciting world of 17th century London seen through the eyes of a puritan artisan. This ambitious and excellent edition enables us to share, for the first time, his hopes, joys, disappointments and fears as he pursues a turbulent spiritual quest through civil war and revolution. Wallington's letters, diaries and meditations throw a flood of light on a personal and family history that he always placed firmly within a national, international and indeed cosmic drama. ' Bernard Capp, University of Warwick, UK ’The book deserves to be read by anyone interested in public life during the civil wars and inter-regnum, rather than merely those fascinated by puritan piety and godly introspection.’ Parliamentary History ’Nehemiah Wallington leaps from the pages of this evocative and informative book ... David Booy is to be congratulated on a valuable scholarly edition.’ Journal of Theological Studies ’For students ... [this volume] ... will be invaluable, a reliable source for spiritual and everyday life in mid-seventeenth-century London, packed with starting points for research projects. ... Booy brings together all of the extant manuscripts for the first time, and it is invaluable to be able to read so extensively (and conveniently) from all of Wallington’s writings in one sitting. The selection thereby offers a significant commentary on daiTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Glossary; Introduction; A Record of Gods Marcys, or a Thankfull Remembrance, (Guildhall library manuscript 204); A Memoriall of Gods Judgments upon Sabbath breakers, Drunkerds and other vile livers, (British Library, Sloane manuscript 1457); A Bundel of Marcys, (British Library, additional manuscript 21 935); The groth of a Christian, (British Library, additional manuscript 40 883); A Record of marcys continued or yet God is good to Israel, (Tatton Park manuscript 68.20); Profitable and comfortabl letters, (British Library, Sloane manuscript 922); An Extract of the passages of my life or the Booke of all my writting books, (Folger Shakespeare library manuscript V.a.436); References; Indexes.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Vrbes Extinctae Archaeologies of Abandoned
Book SynopsisCore tourist sites for the classical world are the ruins of those many and scattered examples of ''lost'' and abandoned towns - from Pompeii to Timgad to Ephesus and Petra. Usually studied for their peaks and growth, rarely are their ends explored in detail, to consider the processes of loss and also to trace their ''afterlives'', when they were often robbed for materials even if still hosting remnant populations.This volume breaks new ground by examining the phenomenon of urban loss and abandonment from Roman to medieval times across the former Roman Empire. Through a series of case studies two main aspects are examined: firstly, the sequences and chronologies of loss of sites, roles, structures, people, identity; and secondly the methodologies of study of these sites - from early discoveries and exploitation of such sites to current archaeological and scientific approaches (notably excavation, urban survey, georadar and geophysics) to studying these crucial centres and their fates. HTrade Review'In sum, a well-produced and thought-provoking volume; I particularly liked the neat solution used to integrate the colour plates, reproduced separately, into their respective articles using black and white thumbnail images in the text.' Antiquity 'This volume joins an extensive and still-growing body of literature on classical and Late Antique urbanism, as well as considerations of "decline and fall' within the later Roman empire. It breaks significant new ground by combining these two areas of research within a single volume and by developing and maintaining a strong theme of new ideas related to the challenges and potential of archaeological research focused on the development, abandonment, and later activities of former urban centers. ... a must-buy...' American Journal of Archaeology ’Il volume [...] rappresenta un contributo prezioso... I risultati delle ricerche e le nuove conoscenze portate alla luce in questo volume, con le figure di alta qualità , rappresentano un apprezzabile passo avanti... ’ [’This volume represents an important contribution... The results of this research and the new knowledge brought to light in this volume, with high quality images, represent a great stride forward...’] Hortus Artium Medievalium (HAM) 'This valuable book lets the archaeology ’talk’ far more in showing the changes, losses and transformations to a variety of late Roman cities and in revealing their medieval successors.' Medieval Archaeology ’... breaks significant new ground ... by developing and maintaining a strong theme of new ideas related to the challenges and potential of archaeological research focused on the development, abandonment, and later activities of former urban centers. The included case studies offer something for specialists and students of nearly every region of classical and Late Antique archaeology ... it is a must-buy for academic libraries ...
