Taylor A., Colonial America — 2013 (Very short introductions. 339)

Over thó last generation, historians have broadened our understanding of colonial America by examining the interplay of Europe, Africa, and the Americas through the flow of goods, people, plants, animals, capital, and ideas. Alan Taylor presents an engaging overview of this new scholarship, showing that American colonization derived from a global expansion of European exploration and commerce that began in the fifteenth century. The English had to share the stage with the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russians, each of whom created alternative Americas. Taylor also focuses on slavery as central to the economy, culture, and political thought of the colonists and on the importance of native people to the colonial story. This book describes an intermingling of cultures and of microbes, plants, and animals from different continents that was unparalleled in global history.

Williams W.E., A Book of English Essays — 1977

"One of the most notable and attractive forms of English Literature is the essay. In his introduction to this selection, first made for Pelican in 1942 and now enlarged and reprinted, Sir William Emrys Williams points out that the Essay, —has a multitude of forms and manners, and scarcely any rules and regulations.— Although many of the pieces chosen for this volume are such well-known ones as Charles Lamb—s —In Praise of Chimney Sweepers— or De Quincy—s memorable commentary on an episode in —Macbeth—, an endeavour has been made to remind readers that Addison, for example, wrote other and better essays than the few which are usually included in anthologies. Modern writers such as Hilaire Belloc, JB Priestly, Aldous Huxley, Robert Lynd, Ivor Brown, Harold Nicholson. EV Lucas, and VS Pritchett are given a fair share of representation."
