Thus The English World is a book of compelling interest for Americans, a book that in exploring English history and the English character brilliantly illuminates our own roots. Not only a masterly historical, cultural, and psychological study, The English World is a highly readable and beautifully illustrated story, an affectionate though not uncritical account of England and her people. All the achievements and failures of England's past that have contributed to the character of the "island nation" ~political and social institutions, art, religion, economics, even the landscape~are examined in brilliant essays enlivened by paintings, drawings, photographs, posters, and maps. Starting with the question "Who are the English?" a group of eminent scholars bring their special knowledge to particular areas: migration, conquest, and the mingling of ancient peoples; the foundations of English institutions up to the Tudors; the historic role of the monarchy and aristocracy; the development of Parliament; struggle and defense at home and overseas; settlement and colonization in the New World; the second Empire~India, Africa, and Australia; the English heritage of poetry, drama, and the novel; the native tradition in painting, sculpture, building, and landscape; the social setting of Anglicanism and Nonconformity; how the villages, fields, and roads took form; commerce, town life, and the Industrial Revolution; and finally custom and character: the English man and woman at home. Over 300 reproductions (85 in full color) provide each section of the book with a full complement of illustrations. Pictures and text together represent every level of English life: the heroic and the comic, the majestic and the eccentric. Here are our English cousins~the people, the customs, the values, and the paradoxes~for us to learn about, to learn from, and at times to be amused by. ~ Contributors:Robert Blake, Provost of The Queen's College, Oxford University ~Frank Barlow, Emeritus Professor of History, Exeter University ~George Holmes, Fellow of St. Catherine's College, Oxford University ~Michael Maclagan, Emeritus Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford University and Richmond Herald of Arms ~Hugh Trevor~Roper, Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge University~ Herbert Nicholas, Rhodes Professor Emeritus of American History and Institutions, Oxford University ~Max Beloff, Gladstone Professor Emeritus of Government and Public Administration, Oxford University~ Edward Norman, Dean of Peterhouse, Cambridge University ~Quentin Bell, Emeritus Professor of the History and Theory of Art, Sussex University ~Kenneth Muir, Emeritus Professor of English Literature, Liverpool University ~Richard Muir, author of The English Village ~Sydney Checkland, Professor of Economic History, Glasgow University ~Asa Briggs, Provost of Worcester College, Oxford University.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Second edition. This is a lovely presentation copy of the second edition of this Christmas anthology, edited by Robert Frost's eldest daughter, featuring several noteworthy signatures, inscriptions, and presentations. This copy offers a compelling and ostensibly unique convocation of associations - including the poet…Robert Frost, his daughter Lesley Frost, (in)famous Frost collector Earl J. Bernheimer, and newspaper columnist and syndicator George Matthew Adams. A two-page facsimile manuscript of Robert Frost's poem "Good Relief" fills two pages preceding the title page. Below his facsimile signature, in six lines in black ink, Frost signed and wrote "Robert Frost - | second | signature | for | Earl J. Bernheimer | April 5 1936". The Editor, Leslie Frost, signed "Lesley Frost" below her printed name on the title page. She further signed and inscribed the front free endpaper recto in five lines (three at the upper center, two at the lower left): "For | George Matthew Adams | from | Lesley Frost | N.Y.C. | June 1951". Already unique by inscriptions and association, this copy is also noteworthy for condition, approaching fine in a very good plus dust jacket. It is an attractive little book, bound in blue cloth with elaborate gilt print and illustration on the spine, the contents bound with red and yellow head and tail bands and yellow-stained top edges. The dust jacket is striking, printed in green, red, and black on a silver background, the holly leaves and banners design of the binding spine repeated in color on both the jacket spine and front face edges, with further illustrations on both faces. This copy's blue cloth binding is square, clean, bright, tight, and sharp-cornered, with only trivial hints of shelf wear to extremities. The contents are clean and bright, with no spotting, no soiling, no appreciable toning, and retaining a crisp feel. The dust jacket is bright, unclipped, and nearly complete, with only fractional loss at the spine head, flap fold corners, and the bottom edge of the front face. Light soiling to the rear face and minor scuffs, primarily to the extremities, joints, and flap folds, do not significantly mar the book's excellent presentation. The book is housed in a marbled-paper-lined black cloth chemise nested within a black cloth slipcase with three, gilt-printed, dark red leather spine labels. The slipcase is intact, though worn with some loss to the perimeter of the labels. The circa 1929 facsimile manuscript of Frost's poem "Good Relief" herein is the first published appearance of this poem, which was never included by Robert Frost in one of his collections. "The poem was begun in Beaconsfield, England, in 1912." It was first printed in the first, 1929 edition of Come Christmas, and printed again here in the 1935 second edition.The recipient for whom Frost inscribed this copy was one of the twentieth century's first significant Frost collectors. A wealthy, Beverly Hills bibliophile, Earl J. Bernheimer began collecting Frost's books and manuscripts in 1936 - the same year Frost inscribed this copy of Come Christmas to him. Capitalizing on Frost's financial anxieties, Bernheimer eventually acquired from Frost a magnificent trove of Frostiana, with Frost entertaining the hope and understanding that "Bernheimer would one day donate everything to a single university library." Instead, owing in part to a rancorous and expensive divorce and to Frost's manifest resentment Bernheimer sold off his collection in a famous 1950 New York auction.The editor, Lesley Frost Ballantine or Lesley Frost as she always liked to be known (1899-1983) was the second child of Robert and Elinor Frost. She spent her early childhood on the Derry, New Hampshire farm that informed her father's developing poetic voice and where he drafted many of his early poems. It was during her first marriage and after the birth of her first daughter, Elinor (named after her mother and to whom this book is dedicated) that Leslie edited this collection of "Christmas Poetry, Song, Drama and Prose". This 1935 second edition was issued when Lesley was divorced and teaching. She was an author and worked in various fields, but her most well-known work was as custodian of her father's legacy. She eventually served as the first chair of the Robert Frost Foundation, oversaw restoration of the Frost farm in Derry, and gained "an international reputation for her correspondence with her father's friends and for her articles and lectures on his work."George Matthew Adams (1878-1962), to whom Lesley's inscription is addressed, was a newspaper columnist and founder of the George Matthew Adams News Service, which syndicated columns and comic strips to more than one hundred newspapers all over the world over the course of half a century.References: Crane E17; Parini, Robert Frost: A Life; Tuten and Zubizarreta; University of New Hampshire; University of Rochester, ANB.
