Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the extraordinary life story of Richard Savage, an 18th-century poet with a remarkable history. The author provides new insights into Savage's unfortunate life, including his fraught relationship with his famous mother, the Countess of Macclesfield, and his struggles as an unacknowledged son. Despite these hardships, Savage found solace in poetry, publishing several successful works that brought him into contact with some of the most prominent literary figures of his day. Through a close reading of Savage's writings and extensive archival research, the author delves deeply into Savage's ambivalent feelings towards his mother, tracing the profound impact of their estrangement on his life and work. This account of Savage's life offers a poignant exploration of themes of identity, loss, and the enduring human need for connection, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of human nature and the power of literature to shape our lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria embossed in gilt to front cover with blind-stamped edges to the cover. Second Series, Number CVI (107). First edition. This is a valuable work much enhanced by a detailed and scholarly introduction,w hich gives an admirable impression of the situation of Ethiopia during the first thirty years of the seventeenth century. In addition to setting out the history and background of the manuscripts, translators give a balanced a ccount of the work of the Jesuits and of the situation with which they were faced. While there is much in the points brought forward in regard to Patriarch Alfonso Mendes, the translators perhaps underestimate the intense devotion of the Ethiopian churchment ot their Coptic heritage. There is little evidence that the Jesuit missionaries realized the rooted self confidence or the antiquity of the Ethiopian Christian life. The manuscripts selected for translation and now published are variegated, but well-chosen. It is in many respects the most valuable work that has been published in English dealing with Ethiopia in the seventeenth century. Condition: Points gently rubbed and bumped, spine ends lightly rubbed, some foxing to page ends else better than very good.…

An offprint of an article discussing the earliest Western travel narratives concerning the Middle East. We have traced only three institutional copies (Edinburgh, Exeter, and Georgia Universities). Charles Beckingham (1914-1988) analyses the historical records of figures such as John Cabot, Pêro da Covilhã, Ludovico di Varthema, and Arnold von Harff to ascertain the veracity of their accounts of Arabia. For example, Beckingham argues that Cabot's story contains a number of inconsistencies concerning his visit to Mecca, specifically that he mistakenly claimed that Arab spices originated in Japan. On the other hand, Beckingham judges that da Covilhã's was corroborated by a sufficient number of witness testimonies to be trusted. Overall this is an important resource corroborating and disproving some of the earliest stories of interactions between the Christian and Muslim worlds. Octavo, pp. 21.
