  • Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson by Robert Louis
    Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson By Robert Louis Stevenson 1 PREFACE The text of the following essays is taken from the Thistle Edition of Stevenson's Works, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, in New York. I have refrained from selecting any of Stevenson's formal essays in literary criticism, and have chosen only those that, while ranking among his masterpieces in style, reveal his personality, character, opinions, philosophy, and faith. In the Introduction, I have endeavoured to be as brief as possible, merely giving a sketch of his life, and indicating some of the more notable sides of his literary achievement; pointing out also the literary school to which these Essays belong. A lengthy critical Introduction to a book of this kind would be an impertinence to the general reader, and a nuisance to a teacher. In the Notes, I have aimed at simple explanation and some extended literary comment. It is hoped that the general recognition of Stevenson as an English classic may make this volume useful in school and college courses, while it is not too much like a textbook to repel the average reader. I am indebted to Professor Catterall of Cornell and to Professor Cross of Yale, and to my brother the Rev. Dryden W. Phelps, for some assistance in locating references.

  • Catalog Four
    USE BOOKS AS BEESUSE FLOWERS NO. 4 HONEYANDWAXBOOKS.COM 1 2 HONEYANDWAXBOOKS.COM 3 So, what kind of books are you looking for? Here at Honey & Wax, we get a lot of unsolicited book offers, some exciting, most less so, a few frankly deranged. I wish I could sum up the typical Honey & Wax book in one word: we buy and sell cookbooks, or atlases, or photography, full stop. Even modern first editions would simplify matters. But in truth, the qualities of a Honey & Wax book are harder to define. As Justice Stewart remarked of pornography, “I know it when I see it.” And I know how I feel when I spot a Honey & Wax book: startled, arrested, curious. Awake. Mostly we deal in literature, but sometimes history and philosophy and art and music. Mostly books, but sometimes games and broadsides and manuscripts and maps. Mostly in English, but sometimes in other languages, ancient and modern. Almost always in excellent condition — and that requirement narrows the field — but our books have so much more going for them than their looks. Each one has something special to recommend it: imaginative writing, historical influence, an intriguing provenance or presentation, striking design. I know it when I see it, and when I see it, I want to share it. In this, our fourth catalog, we feature fifty-nine new acquisitions, from canonical landmarks to unexpected survivals. We hope that every reader — the most jaded collector, the world-weariest librarian — will be genuinely surprised and delighted by at least one book in these pages.

  • Randolph Caldecott Medal Committee Manual
    RANDOLPH CALDECOTT MEDAL COMMITTEE MANUAL June 2009 Randolph Caldecott Medal Committee Manual – Formatted August 2012 1 FOREWORD Randolph Caldecott The Caldecott Medal is named for Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886), a British illustrator best known for his nursery storybooks, including The Babes in the Wood, The Hey Diddle Diddle Picture Book, Sing a Song of Sixpence. Many of the scenes illustrated in these works depict the English Countryside and the people who lived there. Although Caldecott began sketching as a child, his parents saw no future for him in art and sent him to work at a bank in the city. He still found time to sketch, though, and in addition to the farmlands of his youth, Caldecott began to draw urban scenes and people, including caricatures of some bank customers. When his drawings were accepted for publication in the Illustrated London News and other papers, Caldecott quit his bank job to become a freelance illustrator. In his thirties, shortly after gaining recognition as a book illustrator, Caldecott began working with Edmund Evans, an engraver and printer who experimented with color. Together they created the nursery storybooks for which Caldecott became famous. It is believed by some that Caldecott’s illustrations were the reason many nursery stories became popular. Caldecott traveled to the United States in December, 1885, with his wife, but the stormy sea voyage to New York and long train ride to Florida sapped his already frail health. He died in February, 1886 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida. His gravesite is maintained by the Randolph Caldecott Society of North America.

"Scope of the Thesis" II Investigation into this area will begin with a study of the history of children's books and their corresponding illustrations. Several excellent resources are available on this subject. A study of contemporary modes of illustration would follow this, using existing children's books and other appropriate references. Two illustrated books will be completed in addition to the thesis report, one illustrated from existing written materials, and one written and illustrated by myself. Preliminary research indicates that these two situations are the most common occurrences in illustrating for children.

  • The Golden Age of Children's Literature
    2. The Golden Age of Children's Literature “The Golden Age of Children’s Literature” refers to the last half of the nineteenth century, a period when the perception of children and childhood underwent a radical reconfiguration. The Augustan view, which focused on children who had to be instructed to grown-up social responsibility, gave way to the Romantic view—the remnants of which are still very much with us. The idea of childhood as a time of innocence, imagination, play, and pleasure was created in part by the Romantic poets, especially Wordsworth, who also associated children with the idea of an uncorrupted natural world. Part 1: Pictures of Innocence [2 weeks] In order to set the image of the Romantic innocent child, begin with Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” (1807), set in the context of pictures. Trace the descriptions of characteristics Wordsworth ascribes to the child in the visual depictions of children by Golden Age illustrations. Assign full texts (excerpts are available in NACL) from Kate Greenaway, Randolph Caldecott, and Walter Crane, possibly set against some eighteenth-century images of children (several appear throughout NACL). Texts in NACL Kate Greenaway, A Apple Pie (Alphabets) and Under the Window (Picture Books) Walter Crane, The Baby’s Own Aesop (Animal Fables) Randolph Caldecott, Sing a Song of Sixpence and “Bye Baby Bunting” (Verse) Suggested Further Reading Anne Higonnet, Pictures of Innocence: The History and Crisis of Ideal Childhood (London: Thames and Hudson, 1998), Chapters 1 (“The Romantic Child”) and 3 (“A Golden Age”).

By examining in sequence the work of Wyndham Lewis, Michael Ayrton, Mervyn Peake and David Jones, the organisers of that series were attempting to set out the relationship (and sometimes the interdependence) which existed between the verba I and graphic expression of men skilled in both modes.
