Amusing Prose Chap-Books, Chiefly of Last Century (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating collection of prose chapbooks, extraordinarily popular forms of cheap literature in the 18th century. These stories were the forebears of today's newspapers and magazines and their content is a testament to the rich and diverse tastes of the time. From accounts of highwaymen and con-men to historical events, from morality tales and domestic dramas to rhyming trickster tales and supernatural folklore, in this book the author shines a light on a fascinating and forgotten world. In a time before copyright, chapbooks were often lifted from one another, and this book features some of the most enduring and best-loved tales of the period, gathered in one volume, from The Comical History of the King and the Cobbler to Simple Simon's Misfortunes, and including many more tales of love, loss, adventure, and legendary encounters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331126300_0
