Etat : new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1992). 1992 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppx,198. Colour frontispiece. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Foxing to edges. Good-plus in used dust-wrapper. "The British Ornithologists' Club was founded in 1892 and its Bulletin started publication at the same time. Over the years, the Bulletin has had a startlingly important influence in the world of ornithology - particularly taxonomy. In a sample of 100 species that had, over the last hundred years, been recognised as new to science, it was discovered that 49 of them had first been announced in its pages. But the Bulletin was not just devoted to taxonomy - exploration, migration, ecology, behaviour, conservation, as well as the British list have all been covered in its pages. And yet the Bull remains relatively unknown save only to the members of the B.O.C. Its regular readers prize its contents above most better known ornithological journals. The purpose of this anthology is to give all birders a chance to savour some of the wonderful stories that have over the last hundred years appeared in its pages. Where appropriate, modern experts have added commentary. This book captures the essential flavour of British ornithology. It is scholarly, highly entertaining and above all shaped by the eccentric and often authoritarian personalities of the members of the B.O.C. - F.C. Selous, R. Bowdler-Sharpe, P.L. Sclater, the extraordinary Col. R. Meinertzhagen, and many more." .…

3 vols, rexine, 8vo, 25 cm, xiv, 626 + vii, 608 + viii, 712 pp. A three-volume collection of writings on the development of the novel. The set comprises: Vol. 1. Origins through the eighteenth century: beginnings: Cervantes to Austen; Vol. 2. The nineteenth-century novel : the English novel: Scott to James; Vol. 3. The twentieth-century novel. From the editor's introduction - "In choosing the chapters and essays, beginning with the statements of the early novelists in volume one and concluding with contemporary critics in volume three, I have had two principal aims: (1) To represent chronologically the rise of the novel - primarily, though by no means exclusively, in Britain and the United States, and (2) To capture the dialectical debates by both critics and writers on the nature of the genre. Debates over realism versus romance and ethical versus the aesthetic dominate all three volumes. In addition to collecting both well-known and more obscure pieces by writers and critics, I felt it imperative to anthologize a number of significant theoretical essays. Specifically, I attempted to represent several of the various theoretical schools from the Marxist writings of Georg Lukács and Raymond Williams, to the poststructuralist work of Roland Barthes to the theories of narrative of M. M. Bakhtin, Tzvetan Todorov and Gerard Genette. These theorists, largely from France or Eastern Europe, reflect a heightened awareness of linguistics and narrative structure, an awareness generally less pronounced in England and the United States where interest has been dominated by questions of ethics and aesthetics."
