That’s the Ticket for Soup!Victorian Views on Vocabulary as Told in the Pages of Punch

David Crystal

The vocabulary of past times, no longer used in English, is always fascinating, especially when we see how it was pilloried by the satirists of the day.

Here we have Victorian high and low society, with its fashionable and unfashionable slang, its class awareness and the jargon of steam engines, motor cars and other products of the Industrial Revolution. Then as now, people had strong feelings about the flood of new words entering English. Swearing, new street names and the many borrowings from French provoked continual irritation and mockery, as did the Americanisms increasingly encountered in the British press.

In this intriguing collection, David Crystal has pored through the pages of the satirical magazine Punch between its first issue in 1841 and the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, and extracted the articles and cartoons that poked fun at the jargon of the day, adding a commentary on the context of the times and informative glossaries. In doing so he reveals how many present-day feelings about words have their origins over a century ago.

DAVID CRYSTAL is a writer, editor, lecturer and broadcaster on language. His books include Sounds Appealing: The Passionate Story of English Pronunciation, Profile, 2018 and Let’s Talk: How English Conversation Works, OUP, 2020.

North Sea CrossingsThe Literary Heritage of Anglo-Dutch Relations, 1066 to 1688

Sjoerd Levelt and Ad Putter

This richly illustrated book tells the story of cultural exchange between the people of the Low Countries and England in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period, and reveals how Anglo-Dutch connections changed the literary landscape on both sides of the North Sea.

Ranging from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688, it examines how Dutch-speaking immigrants transformed English culture, and it uncovers the lasting impact of contacts and collaborations between Dutch and English speakers on historical writing, map-making, manuscript production and early printing.

The literary heritage of Anglo-Dutch relations is explored and lavishly illustrated through the unique collection of manuscripts, early prints, maps and other treasures from the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The book sheds new light on the literature and art of a pivotal period in European history.

Reynard the FoxAnne Louise Avery

Reynard – a subversive, dashing, anarchic, aristocratic, witty fox from the watery lowlands of medieval East Flanders – is in trouble. He has been summoned to the court of King Noble the Lion, charged with all manner of crimes and misdemeanours. How will he pit his wits against his accusers – greedy Bruin the Bear, arrogant Tybert the Cat and dark and dangerous Isengrim the Wolf – to escape the gallows?

Reynard was once the most popular and beloved character in European folklore, as familiar as Robin Hood, King Arthur or Cinderella. His character spoke eloquently for the unvoiced and disenfranchised, but also amused and delighted the elite, capturing hearts and minds across borders and societal classes for centuries.

Based on William Caxton’s bestselling 1481 English translation from the Middle Dutch, but expanded with new interpretations, innova-tive language and characterisation, this edition is an imaginative retelling of the Reynard story. With its themes of protest, resistance and duplicity fronted by a personable, anti-heroic Fox making his way in a dangerous and cruel world, this gripping tale is as relevant and controversial today as it was in the fifteenth century.

Aesop’s FablesIllustrations by Agnes Miller ParkerTranslation by V.S. Vernon Jones and others

For twenty-five centuries, the animal stories which go by the name of Aesop’s Fables have amused and instructed generations of children and adults alike. They are still as fresh and poignant today as they were to the ancient Greeks who composed them. This beautifully illustrated edition contains some of the best-loved fables, including the Boy who Cried Wolf, the Lion and the Mouse, the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, the Hare and the Tortoise, and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse alongside many of the lesser-known tales.

These timeless stories are illustrated with thirty-seven woodcuts by Agnes Miller Parker (1895–1980), one of the greatest British woodcut artists of the twentieth century. Parker was influenced by the art of Wyndham Lewis and the Cubist and Vorticist movements, which flourished in the period between the wars. Her distinctive work is strikingly stylised and deceptively simple. Commissioned in the 1930s by the fine press publisher, Gregynog Press, for their edition of the work, these exquisite woodcuts inspired by the fables are among Parker’s finest engravings. 208 pp, 242 x 190 mm

TownPrints and Drawings of Britain before 1800

Bernard Nurse

Provincial towns in Britain grew in size and importance in the eighteenth century. Ports such as Glasgow and Liverpool greatly expanded, while industrial centres such as Birmingham and Manchester flourished. Market towns outside London developed as commercial centres or as destinations offering spa treatments as in Bath, horse racing in Newmarket or naval services in Portsmouth.

Containing over 100 images of towns in England, Wales and Scotland, this book draws on the extensive Gough collection in the Bodleian Library. Contemporary prints and drawings provide a powerful visual record of the development of the town in this period, and finely drawn prospects and maps – made with greater accuracy than ever before – reveal their early development.

This book also includes perceptive observations from the journals and letters of collector Richard Gough (1735–1809), who travelled throughout the country on the cusp of the industrial age.

Secrets of the Great Ocean LinersJohn G. Sayers

Before the advent of commercial transatlantic flights in the early 1950s, the only way to travel between continents was by sea. In the golden age of ocean liners, between the late nineteenth century and the Second World War, shipping companies ensured their vessels were a home away from home, providing entertainment, dining, sleeping quarters and smoking lounges to accommodate passengers of all ages and budgets, for voyages that could last as long as three months.

Secrets of the Great Ocean Liners leads the reader through each of the stages – and secrets – of ocean liner travel, from booking a ticket and choosing a cabin to shore excursions, dining, on-board games, social events, romances, and disembarking on arrival. Additional chapters disclose wartime voyages and disasters at sea.

The shipping companies produced glamorous brochures, sailing schedules, voyage logs, passenger lists, postcards and menus, all of which help us to savour the challenges, etiquette and luxury of ocean liner travel. Diaries, letters and journals written on board also reveal a host of behind-the-scenes secrets and fascinating insights into the experience of travelling by sea. This book dives into a vast, unique collection to reveal the scandals, glamour, challenges and tragedies of ocean liner travel.

The Botany of GinChris Thorogood and Simon Hiscock

From its roots in ancient Greek herbal medicine, the popular spirit we now know as gin was established by the Dutch in the sixteenth century as a juniper-infused tincture to cure fevers. It gained noto-riety during the London ‘gin craze’ in the eighteenth century before enjoying a recent resurgence and a profusion of new botanical flavourings.

Garnished with sumptuous illustrations depicting the plants that tell the story of this complex and iconic drink, this enticing book delves into the botany of gin from root to branch. A diverse assortment of aromatic plants from around the world have been used in the production of gin over the course of several centuries. Each combination of botanicals yields a unique flavour profile that equates to more than the sum of its parts. Understanding the different types of formulation, and the main groups of plants used therein, is central to appreciating the drink’s complexities and subtleties. As this book’s extraordinary range of featured ingredi-ents shows, gin is a quintessentially botanical beverage with a rich history like no other.

Just the JobHow Trades got their Names

Alexander Tulloch

What did a gongfarmer do? How is a chaperone connected to a bird of prey? What is the etymology behind cloud architect? And is there a link between secretaries and secrets?

The story behind these (and many more) job titles is rarely predictable and often fascinating. In this highly original book, Alexander Tulloch examines the etymology behind a selection of trades and professions, unearthing intriguing nuggets of historical information along the way. Here you will find explanations of common surnames, such as Spencer, Hayward and Fletcher; obsolete jobs such as pardoner, cordwainer or telegraph boy; and roles for the modern era, such as wedding planner, pundit and sky marshal.

Packed with additional etymological information and literary quotations, this book will appeal not only to linguists but also to anyone interested in the quirky twists and turns of meaning which have given us the job titles with which we are familiar today.

‘white van man’

The word ‘van’ is an abbreviated form of ‘caravan’ …

In the sixteenth century, however, the word … referred to

a company of people and their camels, gathered together

for reasons of security and self-protection, undertaking

an arduous journey across one of the world’s deserts. …

The French used the word caravane as early as the thir-

teenth century, having borrowed it from the Arabs during

the Crusades. But it was not originally an Arabic word and

was, in fact, adopted by the Arabs from the Persian kār-

wān, used to describe a group of people travelling across

a desert. And the consensus of opinion among etymologists

is that kārwān is related to the Sanskrit karabha meaning

‘camel,’ which leads us on to a fascinating connection.

‘Camel’ is related to the Greek kamēlos and the Hebrew/

Phoenician gamal, which is probably related to the Arabic

jamala meaning ‘to carry’ ‘to transport.’

If this connection is correct, it completes the circle

and brings us right back to the role of today’s ‘white

van man.’

Temple of ScienceThe Pre-Raphaelites and Oxford University Museum of Natural History

John Holmes

Built between 1855 and 1860, Oxford University Museum of Natural History is the extraordinary result of close collaboration between artists and scientists. Inspired by John Ruskin, the architect Benjamin Woodward and the Oxford scientists worked with leading Pre-Raphaelite artists on the design and decoration of the building. The decorative art was modelled on the Pre-Raphaelite principle of meticulous observation of nature, itself indebted to science, while individual artists designed architectural details and carved portrait statues of influential scientists. The entire structure was an experiment in using architecture and art to communicate natural history, modern science and natural theology.

Temple of Science sets out the history of the campaign to build the museum before taking the reader on a tour of art in the museum itself. It looks at the facade and the central court, with their beautiful natural history carvings and marble columns illustrating different geological strata, and at the pantheon of scientists. Together they form the world’s finest collection of Pre-Raphaelite sculpture. The story of one of the most remarkable collaborations between scientists and artists in European art is told here with lavish illustrations.

A Brief History of the Bodleian LibraryMary Clapinson

How did a library founded over 400 years ago grow to become the world-renowned institution it is today, home to over thirteen million items?

From its foundation by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1598 to the opening of the Weston Library in 2015, this illustrated account shows how the Library’s history was involved with the British monarchy and political events throughout the centuries. The history of the Library is also a history of collectors and collections, and this book traces the story of major donations and purchases, making use of the Library’s own substantial archives to show how it came to house key items such as early confirmations of Magna Carta, Shakespeare’s First Folio and the manuscript of Jane Austen’s earliest writings, among many others.

Beautifully illustrated with prints, portraits, manuscripts and archival material, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of libraries and collections.

Invented to entertain Alice Liddell on boat trips down the river Thames in Oxford, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has become one of the most famous and influential works of children’s literature of all time.

It is hard to imagine Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland without picturing the illustrations made by Sir John Tenniel for the first edition of the story. Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) was the principal satirical cartoonist for Punch magazine for over fifty years and much in demand as an illustrator in Victorian Britain. At Lewis Carroll’s request, he illustrated the first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published by Macmillan in 1865. Four years later, he made coloured versions of the drawings for The Nursery Alice, a version of the story created especially for 0–5-year-olds. In 1899, Gertrude E. Thompson adapted Tenniel’s illustrations for a card game entitled ‘The New and Diverting Game of Alice in Wonderland’. These unforgettable illustrations, including the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle and the Queen of Hearts, among many others, are featured in these special journals.

In the seventeenth century, even the most elaborate and fashionable gardens had areas set aside for growing herbs, fruit, vegetables and flowers for domestic use, while those of more modest establishments were vital to the survival of the household. This was also a period of exciting introductions of plants from overseas.

Using manuscript household manuals, recipe books and printed herbals, this book takes the reader on a tour of the productive garden and of the various parts of the house – kitchens and service rooms, living rooms and bedrooms – to show how these plants were used for cooking and brewing, medicines and cosmetics, in the making and care of clothes, and finally to keep rooms fresh, fragrant and decorated. Recipes used by seventeenth-century households for preparations such as flower syrups, snail water and wormwood ale are also included.

A brief herbal gives descriptions of plants that are familiar today, others not so well known, such as the herbs used for dyeing and brewing, and those that held a particular cultural importance in the seventeenth century.

Featuring exquisite coloured illustrations from John Gerard’s herbal of 1597 as well as prints, archival material and manuscripts, this book provides an intriguing and original focus on the domestic history of Stuart England.

BirdsAn Anthology

Edited by Jaqueline MitchellWith illustrations by Eric Fitch Daglish

Thomas Hardy notes the thrush’s ‘full-hearted evensong of joy illimited’, Gilbert White observes how swallows sweep through the air but swifts ‘dash round in circles’ and Rachel Carson watches sanderlings at the ocean’s edge, scurrying ‘across the beach like little ghosts’. From early times, we have been entranced by the bird life around us.

This anthology brings together poetry and prose in celebration of birds, records their behaviour, flight, song and migration, the changes across the seasons and in different habitats – in woodland and pasture, on river, shoreline and at sea – and our own interaction with them. From India to America, from China to Rwanda, writers marvel at birds – at the building of a long-tailed tit’s nest, the soaring eagle, the extraordinary feats of migration and the pleasures to be found in our own gardens.

Including extracts by Geoffrey Chaucer, Dorothy Wordsworth, Richard Jefferies, Charles Darwin, James Joyce, John Keats, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Anton Chekhov, Kathleen Jamie, Jonathan Franzen and Barbara Kingsolver among many others, this rich anthology will be welcomed by bird-lovers, country ramblers and anyone who has taken comfort or joy in a bird in flight.

Care of Clothes

[The housewife] ought to cloath [her family] outwardly & inwardly; outwardly for defence from the cold and comelinesse to the person; and inwardly, for cleanlinesse and neatnesse of the skinne.

Gervase Markham, The English Huswife, 1623

T he seventeenth-century garden and small plots of land could provide two important materials for clothing: hemp and flax. Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, a native of central

and western Asia that was brought to Europe by the Goths in the early Middle Ages. They apparently valued the plant’s narcotic properties, but these became weakened when grown in western Europe, so that rather than the leaves being smoked, the seeds and roots were used for medicines. Culpeper attributed hemp to Saturn, giving a list of various applications, including as a remedy against jaundice, gout and burns. Its principal use, however, was for clothing, together or separately with flax, a member of the genus Linum. Flax is first recorded being cultivated in the lands of the Fertile Crescent, but the boost for the crop came in the eighth century, when Charlemagne promoted its qualities both for hygiene as the material linen, and for health with linseed oil.

Hemp and hops from the Tudor Pattern Book, accompanied by a vase of pinks. The production of hemp, along with flax, for clothing was an important industry in the seventeenth century.

Advertisers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century pushed the boundaries of printing, manipulated language, inspired a new form of art and exploited many formats, including calendars, bookmarks and games.

This collection of essays examines the extent to which these standalone advertisements – which have survived by chance and are now divorced from their original purpose – provide information not just on the sometimes bizarre products being sold, but also on class, gender, Britishness, war, fashion and shopping.

Starting with the genesis of an advertisement through the creation of text, image, print and format, the authors go on to examine the changing profile of the consumer, notably the rise of the middle classes, and the way in which manufacturers and retailers identified and targeted their markets. Finally, they look at advertisements as documents that both reveal and conceal details about society, politics and local history.

Copiously illustrated from the world-renowned John Johnson Collection of Printed Ephemera and featuring work by influential illustrators John Hassall and Dudley Hardy, this attractive book invites us to consider both the intended and unintended messages of the advertisements of the past.

CCATALOGUES Catalogues (which could be single sheets, leaflets or booklets) grew in importance as industrial expansion presented the consumer with an increasing choice of products. Illustration was essential, description alone being insufficient to differentiate models of cookers, grates, lawn mowers, knives, sewing machines, hats etc.

Clothing catalogues, which usually portray the wearer, are among the most attractive, since they often indicate the domestic setting, pursuits, accoutrements and attitude of the targeted clientele.

The Fred Watts & Co. catalogue for 1896–1897 epitomizes late-Victorian upper-class privilege. It includes a very limited selection of clothes for girls but focuses on boys, youths, men and servants’ livery. Watts portrays his young male clientele in school wear for Eton and Rugby, sailor suits, formal dress and suits which emulate adult attire. The sketchy backgrounds throughout show the trappings of an affluent lifestyle. Unexpectedly among these is a tortoise: these exotic domestic pets were new in Britain.

50 THE ART OF ADVERTISING

Here, of course, we are in the realm of quackery – one in which persuasion rather than empirical evidence inevitably takes pride of place and where language is particularly important. Products such as coffee, cocoa and tobacco were regularly semanticized in terms of health; as figure 2.6 illustrates, they can have far more modern correlates too. Advertising for Craven “A” cigarettes, here in the 1920s, stresses, like Angelick Snuff, the beneficial properties of tobacco, even if remedy is now restricted to a single ailment. Earlier prose-rich advertisements, as we have seen, had to work hard, creating ‘reason’-based strategies for purchase. Pictures, as in this instance, can speak far more suggestively. Craven can offer a ‘reason’ but also moves towards what is known as ‘tickle’ advertising, where the power of suggestion relies on calculated appeals to emotion and mood. Here, the pallor of possible illness is displaced by a healthy complexion, providing its own implied testimony of efficacy. The confidently relaxed demeanour, and the modernity of goggles and helmet, anchored by the slogan ‘preferred by Outdoor men’, meanwhile offers powerful (and aspirational) images of regulative masculinity – and a ‘manliness’ which offers its own lures for potential readers.

VERBAL AND VISUALAs this suggests, visual imaging can do a lot of the meaning-making activity that in earlier texts is quite literally spelled out. Nevertheless, even early images – realized via woodcuts rather than the vivid palette deployed for Craven “A” – can participate in acts of persuasion. The vigour – and size – of the intestinal worms and beetle that decorate, for example, early advertising for ‘SUGAR PLUMBS, for Worms, & c.’ clearly offered their own forms of scaremongering and persuasion. Consuming ‘sugar plumbs’ (at ‘Twelve pence a Dozen’) is made a far more attractive prospect than acting as host for such vigorous parasites.8 Likewise, the physical economy of ‘Dr. HIGHAM’s famous WORM-PLAISTER’ (fig. 2.5) testifies to its ease of use (while its ‘famous’ power in dispelling worms is evoked by the obvious reluctance with which it is held, having completed its task). The use of ‘Dr’ adds appropriate authority, and promised efficacy, irrespective of the real credentials of either purveyor or product.

Images can evolve into important features of indirect persuasion. In figure 2.7, the decision to depict the imposing structure – and increased size – of F. & R. Sparrow’s new premises (rather than a packet of ‘London Genuine Tea’) reinforces a sense of quality and substance, as well indicating the success of the product that has necessitated such a move. The cluster of people by the warehouse doorway is another small, but significant, detail, underscoring popularity and demand. The accompanying prose meanwhile adopts a tone of decorous respect and formality, even if the reader’s eye, via a process of typographical foregrounding, is carefully led towards ‘STRONG FULL-FLAVOURED TEAS … GOOD GENUINE TEAS’ as well as ‘VERY EXTENSIVE PREMISES’.

spectre at the feast with cocoa as a redemptive force for good. In figure 2.11, another visual narrative depicts a temporal sequence from childhood to old age, united by pleasurable images of consumption, in a further pictorial embodiment of the rule of three (three vignettes, three cups of Cadbury’s cocoa). Seen vertically, however, the advertisement provides a visual metaphor in which cocoa is meaningfully underpinned by its ‘scientific’ foundations. The visual rhetoric of a bar chart hence suggests objective rather than subjective evaluation while tactical citations from the Lancet and Health magazine add scientific authority for the claims that are advanced.

Vocabulary operates in equally tactical ways. Science (‘nitrogen’, ‘carbon’) and nutrition (‘food-value’, ‘flesh-forming’, alongside the impressive-sounding ‘staminal energy’) are prominent, as is the diction of ‘vigour’ and ‘new life’. Cocoa becomes a necessity rather than a luxury, a vital building block of life and superior, as the bar chart suggests, to meat, eggs and bread. The carefully disinterested and factual tone (‘In addition, it is interesting to find that One Shillingsworth of CADBURY’S COCOA contains as much nourishment as can be obtained for Three Shillings spent on some of the best Meat Extracts’) is, in reality, anything but.

2.10 It is uncommon for poverty to be portrayed as starkly for commercial purposes as in this advertisement in which F. Allen & Sons exploit the association of cocoa with the Temperance Movement (notably advocated by the founder of Rowntree’s chocolate, the Quaker Henry Rowntree).

The Making of Lewis Carroll’s Alice and the Invention of Wonderland Peter Hunt

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are two of the most famous, translated and quoted books in the world. But how did a casual tale told by Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll), an eccentric Oxford mathematician, to Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, grow into such a phenomenon?

Peter Hunt cuts away the psychological speculation that has grown up around the ‘Alice’ books and traces the sources of their multi-layered in-jokes and political, literary and philosophical satire. He first places the books in the history of children’s literature – how they relate to the other giants of the period, such as Charles Kingsley – and explores the local and personal references that the real Alice would have understood. Equally fascinating is the rich texture of fragments of everything from the ‘sensation’ novel to Darwinian theory – not to mention Dodgson’s personal feelings – that he wove into the books as they developed.

Richly illustrated with manuscripts, portraits, Sir John Tenniel’s original line drawings and contemporary photographs, this is a fresh look at two remarkable stories, which takes us on a guided tour from the treacle wells of Victorian Oxford through an astonishing world of politics, philosophy, humour – and nightmare.

The Making of Handel’s MessiahAndrew Gant

The first performance of Handel’s Messiah in Dublin in 1742 is now legendary. Gentlemen were asked to leave their swords at home and ladies to come without hoops in their skirts in order to fit more people into the audience. Why then, did this now famous and much-loved oratorio receive a somewhat cool reception in London less than a year later?

Placing Handel’s best-known work in the context of its times, this vivid account charts the composer’s working relationship with his librettist, the gifted but demanding Charles Jennens, and looks at Handel’s varied and evolving company of singers together with his royal patronage. Through examination of the composition man-uscript and Handel’s own conducting score, held in the Bodleian, it explores the complex issues around the performance of sacred texts in a non-sacred context, particularly Handel’s collaboration with the men and boys of the Chapel Royal. The later reception and performance history of what is one of the most successful pieces of choral music of all time is also reviewed, including the festival performance attended by Haydn, the massed-choir tradition of the Victorian period and today’s ‘come-and-sing’ events.

The popular success of the Dublin performances was not repeated in

London, at least not initially. A significant factor in the cool reception was

the ongoing squeamishness about singing the sacred to the kind of music

more associated with the opera than the church. Opponents particularly

objected to Holy Writ being sung in the secular setting of a theatre, but it

was thought equally inappropriate to sing oratorios in church.

Jennens captured the point in his usual testy fashion: ‘What adds to my

Chagrin is, that if he makes his Oratorio ever so perfect, there is a clamour

about Town, said to arise from the B[isho]ps, against performing it.’1

Handel leased the Covent Garden theatre for a season of oratorios in Lent

1742/3: Samson, L’Allegro and the Ode on St Cecilia’s Day; then, advertised

for 23 March, ‘A New Sacred Oratorio. With a Concerto on the Organ. And a

Solo on the Violin by Mr. Dubourg’.2 Jennens reported:

Messiah was perform’d last night, & will be again to morrow, notwithstanding

the clamour rais’d against it, which has only occasion’d it being advertis’d

without it’s Name; a Farce, which gives me as much offence as anything

6 HANDEL’S PERFORMERS

AND PERFORMANCES

The beautiful theatre in Covent Garden, London, opened by John Rich in 1737, where Handel often performed Messiah. This view was painted shortly before the building was destroyed by fire in 1808.

Handel tried to graft a gratuitous ‘Hallelujah’ chorus onto the end, where,

according to Jennens, it ‘comes in very nonsensically, having no manner of

relation to what goes before’.4 Jennens was right: and he won (the chorus

was relocated to Part One).

More relevantly to the first audiences, the story of Saul formed part of the

annual commemoration of the execution of Charles I. Jennens’ biographer

Ruth Smith comments, ‘In the vast amount of British debate about the

lawfulness of the changes of rulership from Stuarts to Hanoverians, both

sides constantly evoked the story of Saul and David … For Jennens … the

death of Saul had special, complicated resonance.’5 ‘By Thee the Lord’s

anointed died,’ snarls David, eyeballing the Hanoverian establishment lined

up in the front row in their hoops and ruffs.

Im pious Wretch!

Im piousWretch,

c

David’s aria from Part III of Saul, the moment when the Amalekite confesses he has just killed Saul.

Saul’s death is reported to David in the autograph of Handel’s oratorio Saul, words by Jennens, composed in 1738. Jennens has added the first two words and three notes to Handel’s score.

In this attractive and ingeniously illustrated little volume, Peter Hunt entertainingly recounts the history – and mythology – that has accrued around Charles Lutwidge Dodg-son/Lewis Carroll and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, adding context and asking questions that will add much enjoyment to reading and thinking about this remarkable book. – Kimberley Reynolds, Newcastle University

Jewish Treasures from Oxford LibrariesEdited by Rebecca Abrams and César Merchán-Hamann

Representing four centuries of collecting and 1,000 years of Jewish history, this book brings together extraordinary Hebrew manuscripts and rare books from the Bodleian Library and Oxford colleges. Highlights of the collections include a fragment of Maimonides’ autograph draft of the Mishneh Torah; the earliest dated fragment of the Talmud, exquisitely illuminated manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible; stunning festival prayerbooks and one of the oldest surviving Jewish seals in England. Lavishly illustrated essays by experts in the field bring to life the outstanding works contained in the collections, as well as the personalities and diverse motivations of their original collectors, who include Archbishop William Laud, John Selden, Edward Pococke, Robert Huntington, Venetian Jesuit Matteo Canonici, Benjamin Kennicott and Rabbi David Oppenheim.

Saved for posterity by religious scholarship, intellectual rivalry and political ambition, these extraordinary collections also detail the consumption and circulation of knowledge across the centu-ries, forming a social and cultural history of objects moved across borders, from person to person. Together, they offer a fascinating journey through Jewish intellectual and social history from the tenth to the twentieth century.

Merton College LibraryAn Illustrated History

Julia C. Walworth

The Merton library is rightly known for its antiquity, its beautiful medieval and early modern architecture and fittings and for its remarkable and important collection of manuscripts and rare books, yet a nineteenth-century plan to tear the medieval library down and replace it was only narrowly frustrated. This brief history of Europe’s oldest academic library traces its origins in the thirteenth century, when a new type of community of scholars was first being set up, through to the present day and its multiple functions as a working college library, a unique resource for researchers and a delight for curious visitors.

Drawing on the remarkable wealth of documentation in the college’s archives, this is the first history of the library to explore collections, buildings, readers and staff across more than 700 years. The story is told in part through stunning colour images that depict not only exceptional treasures but also the library furnishings and decorations, and which show manuscripts, books, bindings and artefacts of different periods in their changing contexts.

Featuring a timeline and a plan of the college, this book will be of interest to historians, alumni and tourists alike.

century, the new building formed a quadrangle, known until the eighteenth century as the ‘“Little” Quadrangle’. The corner of this quadrangle nearest the hall and the sacristy was anchored by the stone-built muniment tower (or treasury), erected in the late thirteenth century to keep valuables and the even more precious charters and administrative documents relating to the college’s property (on which the college’s very existence depended). On the opposite side of the newly formed quadrangle, the intersection of the two wings of

the library provided a second anchor, forming an axis of corporate treasure, both literal and intellectual. Residential rooms for fellows occupied connecting wings and the ground floor of the library.

Each of the two library wings had a series of single windows on either side running the length of the room, and the larger space at the junction of the two wings was lit by much taller double windows. Furnishing of the library continued for more than a decade. The west wing was furnished first, and then

The surviving double-sided lectern desks in the church of St Walburga in Zutphen in the netherlands date from the mid-sixteenth century but provide an idea of the appearance of the double-sided merton desks some 200 years earlier.

The main imagery in the medieval library windows is found in the colourful roundels set into grisaille glass. The visual references to St John the baptist through the agnus dei (lamb of god) link the library symbolically to the nearby college chapel and evoke the college community as a whole. Perhaps the reference to St John was also a subtle way of acknowledging John bloxham, who had participated in planning the library and was elected warden in 1375.
