This collection is a reprint of forty-three titles bound in one volume. The chapbook was a popular publication in Britain, sold cheaply, at a penny or so. As publishing became a prosperous business at the end of the eighteenth century, adult readers took to new media like magazines or newspapers and the chapbook decreased in popularity. However, the chapbook for children became popular and survived until the end of the nineteenth century. Local publishers selected suitable subjects for children and made various series. Often, expensive, well-known books published in London turned up as cheaper abridged versions in chapbook form in regional towns. Nursery rhymes, traditional tales, folklore, riddles, and street cries were published in this format with many woodcuts for illustrations. Among many printers and publishers which came into existence in local towns or villages in the early nineteenth century because of technical innovations, a few earned the reputation for a good selection of chapbooks for children. This collection offers twenty chapbooks, each of two leading children's books publishers of the time, J. Kendrew in York and J. G. Rusher of Banbury, Oxfordshire, along with three titles by other publishers to show the variety of typographies and the size of books. Eight of the inclusions are in uncut sheets to show how original chapbooks are printed and sold.

Winner of the 2013 Lora Romero First Book Publication Prize presented by the American Studies Association Winner of the 2013 Association for the Study of Food and Society Book Award Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series The act of eating is both erotic and violent, as one wholly consumes the object being eaten. At the same time, eating performs a kind of vulnerability to the world, revealing a fundamental interdependence between the eater and that which exists outside her body. Racial Indigestion explores the links between food, visual and literary culture in the nineteenth-century United States to reveal how eating produces political subjects by justifying the social discourses that create bodily meaning. Combing through a visually stunning and rare archive of children’s literature, architectural history, domestic manuals, dietetic tracts, novels and advertising, Racial Indigestion tells the story of the consolidation of nationalist mythologies of whiteness via the erotic politics of consumption. Less a history of commodities than a history of eating itself, the book seeks to understand how eating became a political act, linked to appetite, vice, virtue, race and class inequality and, finally, the queer pleasures and pitfalls of a burgeoning commodity culture. In so doing, Racial Indigestion sheds light on contemporary “foodie” culture’s vexed relationship to nativism, nationalism and race privilege.

This edited collection offers in seventeen chapters the latest scholarship on book catalogues in early modern Europe. Contributors discuss the role that these catalogues played in bookselling and book auctions, as well as in guiding the tastes of book collectors and inspiring some of the greatest libraries of the era. Catalogues in the Low Countries, Britain, Germany, France and the Baltic region are studied as important products of the early modern book trade, and as reconstructive tools for the history of the book. These catalogues offer a goldmine of information on the business of books, and they allow scholars to examine questions on the distribution and ownership of books that would otherwise be extremely difficult to pursue. Contributors: Helwi Blom, Pierre Delsaerdt, Arthur der Weduwen, Anna E. de Wilde, Shanti Graheli, Ann-Marie Hansen, Rindert Jagersma, Graeme Kemp, Ian Maclean, Alicia C. Montoya, Andrew Pettegree, Philippe Schmid, Forrest C. Strickland, Jasna Tingle, Marieke van Egeraat, and Elise Watson.
