English Shepherd Books
The Complete English Shepherd Guide: Raising Your Puppy and Caring for Shep--American's Generic Dog - $14.99 Now considered a rare breed, the English Shepherd was long the old standby 'farm collie' on most American farms until the middle of the 20th Century. This book is a brand-new title, and perhaps the only extended documentation of the history, standard, care, feeding, training and breeding of these fine dogs. It is because of the intelligence of this gifted and talented dog a special understanding of his merits is required to best appreciate the nature of this lovable shepherd. His quiet gentle ways, his love of children, his devotion to master and mistress call for a unique indulgence in order to better comprehend all of the classic qualities of this most empathetically centered companion.	Middle English Romances (Norton Critical Editions) - $11.95 This Norton Critical Edition presents significant examples of one of the most important bodies of English poetry written before the Renaissance. The texts of the seven romances included—Havelok, Ywain and Gawain, Sir Orfeo, Sir Launfal, The Awntyrs off Arthure at the Terne Wathelyne, The Weddyng of Syr Gawen and Dame Ragnell, and The Sege off Melayne—are complete, authoritative (rendered from the best manuscripts), and comprehensively glossed and annotated for undergraduate readers. In addition to their literary importance, the seven romances were chosen because they shed light on other important Middle English texts. "Sources and Backgrounds" offers comparative analogues (many complete) to each of the seven romances. These readings enable students to understand the genre in the context of related medieval ideas and attitudes. "Criticism" collects four essays that provide a variety of perspectives on Middle English romances by Erich Auerbach, John Finlayson, A. C. Baugh, and Gisela Guddat-Figge. A Selected Bibliography is also included.
The English Monster: or, The Melancholy Transactions of William Ablass - $10.20 A page-turning historical thriller combining two tales that ultimately converge: the investigation into a brutal series of murders in 1811 London and the seafaring adventures of a young man in Elizabethan England.London, 1811. The twisting streets of riverside Wapping hold many an untold sin. Bounded by the ancient Ratcliffe Highway and the modern wonder of the London Dock, shameful secrets are largely hidden by the noise and glory of Trade. But now two families have fallen victim to foul murder and John Harriott, magistrate of the Thames River Police Office, must deliver revenge up to a terrified populace. His only hope is his senior officer, Charles Horton. Harriott only recently came up with a word to describe what it is that Horton does. It is detection. Plymouth, 1564. Young Billy Ablass arrives from Oxford with the burning desire of all young men: the getting and keeping of money. Captain Jack Hawkyns is about to set sail in a ship owned by Queen Elizabeth herself, and Billy sees the promise of a better life with a crew intent on gain and glory. But the kidnap of hundreds of human souls in Africa is not the only cursed event to occur on England’s first official slaving voyage. On a sun-blasted Florida islet, Billy too is to be enslaved for the rest of his accursed days. Based on the real-life story of the gruesome Ratcliffe Highway murders, The English Monster takes us on a voyage across centuries, through the Age of Discovery, and throws us up, part of the human jetsam, onto the streets of Regency Wapping, policed only by Officer Horton.	Le Morte Darthur (Norton Critical Editions) - $11.22 The text is unabridged, with original spelling and extensive, easy-to-use marginal glosses and footnotes. No other edition accurately represents the actual (and likely authorial) divisions of the text as attested to by its two surviving witnesses—Caxton’s 1485 print and, especially, the famous Winchester Manuscript. The Winchester Manuscript is now generally agreed to be the more authentic of the two earlier texts. The Norton Critical Edition is the first edition of Malory to recover important elements of this manuscript: paragraphing marginal annotations hierarchies of narrative division as signaled by size and decorative intricacy of initial capitals and font changes The Norton Critical Edition also represents, in black-letter font, the striking rubrication of proper names in the Winchester Manuscript, reconstructing for readers something of an authentic medieval reading experience, one which gives visual support to Malory’s extraordinary representation, in character and setting, of a chivalric ideal. No other student edition of Malory contains such extensive contextual and critical support.
Best of Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band (Guitar Recorded Versions) - $12.37 15 songs from this blues guitarist extraordinaire, including: Alive * Blue on Black * Born with a Broken Heart * Changes * In 2 Deep * Ledbetter Heights * The Place You're In * Slow Ride * True Lies * and more.	Clarissa's Painter: Portraiture, Illustration, and Representation in the Novels of Samuel Richardson (Oxford English Monographs) - $74.00 Samuel Richardson's novels have always been a particularly fertile seam for literary study, and in recent years they have been the subject of a whole range of different approaches, from the political and feminist, to those concerned with formal questions such as genre and epistolary technique. Richardson has also attracted considerable interest from an interdisciplinary perspective, with studies focusing on the pictorial and spatial elements of his works, and the illustrations he commissioned for Pamela. This extensively-illustrated monograph takes this approach one step further, and looks at issues of visual and verbal representation in Richardson from the perspective of eighteenth-century portraiture. Richardson first became conversant with the conventions of contemporary portraiture in the wake of the phenomenal success of Pamela. It was then that he commissioned his first portrait, and became involved in the process of producing illustrations for the lavish sixth edition of the novel. This study makes the case that these two events combined to give Richardson a new vocabulary for the depiction of individual character, and the articulation of power, affection, and control within the family, and between men and women. We can see the first signs of this in Pamela II, which is so often dismissed and so little read, but it reaches its full maturity in the rich three-dimensionality of Clarissa. Moreover it is Richardson's use of the conventions of contemporary portraiture in Sir Charles Grandison that explains many of the tensions and inconsistencies within that text, and makes the reader's response to Richardson's 'good man' so ambivalent.
