Constructed on the Clyde in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, Cutty Sark was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest. Cutty Sark spent just a few years on the tea routes before the opening of the Suez Canal and the increasing use of steamships made clippers unprofitable on shorter routes. It was turned to the trade in wool from Australia, where for ten years she held the record time for a journey to Britain. After finishing her time in service as cargo ship, and then a training and cadet ship, it was transferred to permanent dry dock at Greenwich, London, for public display. This handy and illuminating pocket manual collates original documents to tell the fascinating story of how the legendary Cutty Sark was commissioned, her design and building, life on board and her notable journeys.

Es muy probable que nos sintamos aturdidos, dudosos o descolocados si alguien, de pronto, nos pregunta qué es un diccionario. Peor aún si se nos pide que definamos una palabra cualquiera, aun de las más cotidianas. Normalmente, la gente cree, por ejemplo, que un diccionario es un libro formado por una serie de artículos situados exclusivamente en orden alfabético de las voces o frases con que comienzan. Más difícil le parece definir una palabra, por simple que sea. Si lo intenta, casi seguro que fracasa. Los lexicógrafos se convierten, así, en brujos de la tribu para muchos consultantes de cualquier obra lexicográfica. He aquí, pues, que el universo lexicográfico al alcance de cualquier usuario de la lengua puede devenir fácilmente en algo sumamente complejo.La presente obra tiene por objeto introducir al lector en los entresijos de una técnica científica llamada lexicografía y explicar qué es una obra lexicográfica (por ejemplo, un diccionario o una enciclopedia) y c

Representing the Professions unites literary criticism, social and legal history, and Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture. It offers a detailed exploration of the professionalization of selected early modern disciplines in an effort to characterize those disciplines in their social, economic, and historical contexts. Unlike recent work on individual responses to social change, Representing the Professions discusses how developing professions responded to changes such as the Tudor centralization of authority, the enormous growth of legal business, the expansion of both literacy and an entertainment market, and the growth of the theater. The book moves between a broad and narrow historical focus to describe how institutional and individual histories contstruct early modern versions of professionalism. Patterns established in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have effects that shape subsequent developments in the literary profession and professions more generally. This study produces a structural history of the early modern professions that will provide insights into later developments in the more general process of professionalism in later centuries. Using various sources, including plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, legal documents, manuscript handbooks, theatrical records, and public papers related to the Tudor monarchy, the author shows how early modern administration, law, theater, and writing gave rise to an embracing professional field whose parameters continue to play a major role in the ongoing constitution and reconstitution of modernity
