Archipelagic English : Literature, History, And Politics, 1603-1707

Attribution
John Kerrigan
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2008
Description
Seventeenth-century “English Literature” has long been thought about in narrowly English terms. Archipelagic English corrects this by devolving anglophone writing, showing how much remarkable work was produced in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, and how preoccupied such English authors as Shakespeare, Milton, and Marvell were with the often fraught interactions between ethnic, religious, and national groups around the British-Irish archipelago. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Sixpence House : Lost In A Town Of Books

Attribution
Paul Collins
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Bloomsbury, 2003
Description
Hay’s newest citizens accordingly take up residence in a sixteenth-century apartment over a bookstore, meeting the village’s large population of misfits and bibliomaniacs by working for world-class eccentric Richard Booth-the self-declared King of Hay, owner of the local castle, and proprietor of the world’s largest and most chaotic used book warren. Taking readers into a secluded sanctuary for book lovers, and guiding us through the creation of his own book, Sixpence House becomes a meditation on what books means to us, and how their meaning can still resonate long after they have been abandoned by their public.
