Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the 'Lay of the High Sheriff', a verse narrative capturing the anxieties and misadventures of an Oxfordshire High Sheriff as he navigates his first Assize. Composed as a jest amongst local dignitaries, and rife with period colloquialisms and specific references to Oxfordshire landmarks and figures, the book gives a humorous and intimate insight into the peculiar anxieties, quirks, and local culture of 1840s provincial England. The author, a prominent local figure, sets his focus on the foibles and tribulations of this hapless sheriff, whilst exploring broader themes of duty and fear, social satire and provincial eccentricity. This scarce and little-known verse narrative, now almost entirely inaccessible, is a unique and humorous glimpse into the customs of a bygone era. Its historical and literary significance resides in capturing the nuance and flavor of a particular time and place, providing an authentic glimpse into the life and times of provincial England on the cusp of significant societal changes. 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 9781332149827_0
