Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working
to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality,
colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works
can delight another generation of children. Arthur Rackham
(1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the early 20th
Century. He illustrated many books, the first of which was
published in 1893. Throughout his career he had developed a very
individual style that is was to influence a whole generation of
children, artists and other illustrators. His haunting humour and
dreamlike romance adds to the enchantment and fantasy of children's
literature.
Originally delivered in November 1915 as a series of lectures at
the University of Cambridge, this close textual analysis of
Shakespeare overturned the conventional methods of Shakespearean
bibliography. In this careful study, Pollard, a bibliographer and
literary scholar, called into question the long-held assumption
that the early Quartos were of little bibliographical value because
of the errors, mis-spellings and mis-lineations. By emphasizing the
efforts made to impede printing piracy in early modern England,
Pollard argued that the Quartos are much closer to Shakespeare's
manuscripts than previous scholarship had allowed. Pollard, along
with J. Dover Wilson, W. W. Greg and R. B. McKerrow, was
instrumental in establishing the theoretical framework of New
Bibliography, and on its publication the book was greeted with what
is described in the introduction as 'friendly controversy'. First
published in 1915, the book was revised for republication in 1920.
This reissue is of the 1967 reprint.
First published in 1923, this book consists of a series of papers
written by Pollard, W. W. Greg, E. Maunde Thompson, J. Dover
Wilson, and R. W. Chambers, all advocates of the then
newly-established New Bibliography. The book was assembled with the
intention of strengthening the argument that three pages of Sir
Thomas More in the Harleian Manuscript at the British Museum were
written in Shakespeare's own hand. The well-established scholars
examine the case from several different angles, considering the
handwriting in comparison to the known versions of Shakespeare's
signature, the bibliographical links between these three pages and
the 'good' quartos, and the content of the pages in relation to
political ideas expressed elsewhere in Shakespeare. The volume also
includes plates of Shakespeare's signatures, analysis of individual
letter shapes and parts of the manuscript, and a special transcript
of the pages in question.
