These creatures are fluffy, sneaky, spikey, and . . . small, like
the bee. Though bees are small, their importance is BIG. Today
there are over 250,000 species of bees but all of them are in
danger. Because of disease, pesticide exposure, lack of foraging
habitats, and poor nutrition, entire honey bee hives are dying.
What would happen if bees disappeared completely? Artist Lily
Williams explores how such a loss would effect not just the bees'
environment, but the world as a whole in this poignant, beautiful
book about the importance of our most important bees.
The book makes available the earliest surviving text in English of
the sixteenth-century Latin grammar generally attributed to William
Lily (c.1468 - c.1523), the grammarian, scholar, and first
headmaster of St Paul's School. The compilation became, by royal
acclamation, the first and only authorized text for the teaching of
Latin in grammar schools and remained so until ousted by Kennedy's
primer in the first half of the nineteenth century. During this
period it had a profound influence not only on the study and
teaching of Latin, but on the understanding of grammar and language
more generally. Subsequent grammatical treatises in English were
influenced by it in shaping grammatical rules and terms, and so too
were methods of language teaching. The 1542 version is presented
here by Hedwig Gwosdek in a scrupulously and helpfully prepared
edition. Dr Gwosdek has prefaced it with chapters on the text's
grammatical and pedagogical origins, composition, and subsequent
history. She also includes a text on accidence and construction
which mainly emerged from the tradition of the English grammatical
manuscripts and the early printed grammars. This fascinating work
will interest scholars and advanced students of the English
Renaissance as well as those interested in the histories of English
linguistics, education, and early modern English.
