Richard Pynson’s Property in St Clement Danes, 1491–1500

Abstract This bibliographical note explores a previously unknown lease to the printer Richard Pynson by the Knights of St John of property in St Clement Danes, to the west of the City of London, in 1495. As well as providing further evidence for the location of Pynson’s first press, it also suggests that the date of his first lease of the same property, and hence of his setting up of one of the earliest printing presses in London, was during the summer of 1491.

The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction by Daniel Brook

Reviewed by: The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction by Daniel Brook Mary Niall Mitchell The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction. By Daniel Brook. (New York: W. W. Norton and Company, 2019. Pp. xxiv, 344. Paper, $17.95, ISBN 978-0-393-53172-5; cloth, $27.95, ISBN 978-0-393-24744-2.) There are plenty of parallels between the end of Reconstruction in the United States and the political struggles of 2020. Although Radical Reconstruction's end is just part of the story that author Daniel Brook tells in The Accident of Color: A Story of Race in Reconstruction, the echoes in these [End Page 533] pages of today's racial and political divisions are unmistakable. In 1876, politicians in Washington, D.C., were questioning the results of the presidential election; voter suppression techniques aimed at people of color proliferated; and experts brought into southern states offered "tutorials on how to steal an election" (p. 218). A gubernatorial candidate in South Carolina (former Confederate general Wade Hampton III) mounted a parade featuring racist signs like those that have appeared at contemporary political rallies: "Carolina, Home of the White Man" (p. 221). If we needed to put a finer point on this comparison, we would look no further than the so-called Jim Crow Caucus disputing the 2020 presidential election, a recently formed group bent on erasing votes in majority-Black districts. Brook could not have foreseen all that transpired in 2020, but his book is timely and aimed explicitly at a general readership. In allowing civil rights activists of the Civil War and Reconstruction era to tell their stories "on their own terms," he hopes to "help remove our own blind spots about the long, imperfect struggle to build the world's most diverse democracy and about the racial system that still mars our national life" (p. xviii). While it is not clear to whom our refers—Americans of color generally have a clear view of the racial system they navigate every day—it is true that the nation's democracy is a work in progress. In light of present realities, in particular, the long struggle for civil rights is worth telling and retelling. Using the biographies of civil rights activists and their white supremacist opponents as building blocks, Brook's story centers on two so-called Misfit Metropolises: Charleston and New Orleans. By 1850, both cities had large, prosperous populations of free people of color. After the Civil War, many of these formerly free men of color, along with some men who had been born in slavery, became elected officials and powerful public voices advocating civil rights in public accommodations, including streetcars and schools. The author traces these political debates in a narrative synthesis of secondary literature, newspaper reports and editorials, records of constitutional conventions, and other printed statehouse deliberations. The scant bibliographical note at the end is kept minimal, referencing the granddaddies of Reconstruction history (W. E. B. Du Bois and Eric Foner) along with a few books on race, such as Barbara J. Fields and Karen Fields's work and Nell Irvin Painter's A History of White People (New York, 2010). The author has clearly used many of the rich secondary sources available for this period but does not discuss them in this note. Further, while Brook's skills as a journalist are valuable when applied to the complicated politics of Reconstruction, there are points at which a more serious tone would better serve the subjects of his story. To cite one example, he refers to the spiritualist practice of Creoles of color in New Orleans as a "voodoo séance" even though it was not voodoo, and spiritualism was popular on both sides of the Atlantic in the nineteenth century (p. 76). Nonetheless, The Accident of Color is a timely account of the complicated politics of race and racism in the United States in the second half of the nineteenth century. The book illuminates Reconstructionera strides toward racial equity as well as the successes of white supremacist politicians who rallied their base and set the stage for the next reckoning.

Bibliographical note on the syntaxonomy of the vegetation of Tlemcen, Hafir, Moutas and its reserve (North-western Algeria)

This study provides bibliographical note on the syntaxonomy of the vegetation of Tlemcen, Hafir, Moutas of North-western Algeria, including the associations and alliances of the different higher units found in the Hafir forest and the Moutas Reserve. In this work, we observed modifications of forest and pre-forest structures according to bioclimatic variations. However, in this region, the xericity of the climate is not the only factor destroying the plant cover, anthropization is also a degradation factor. While being aware of the negative consequences, man, through their abusive cultivation, illegal logging, overgrazing, urbanization, the depletion of natural resources;, inhibits the evolution of vegetation, participates in the replacement of a rich plant cover by another and more xerophytic plant cover with thorny and/or toxic feature. The landscape is dominated, for the most part, by open and degraded formations based on therophytes and chamaephytes, linked to Rosmarinetea and Cisto-Lavanduletea. The tree structures in Hafir and the Moutas reserve, still occupy only minimal areas subject to the destructive actions of man and his flock. These formations are still linked to the Quercetea ilicis. These ecosystems are marked by a regressive evolution (forest, pre-forest, scrub, scrubland and therophytization).&#x0D; Bangladesh J.

Correspondence

Sirs, The Bodleian Library shelfmarks for the two images in my bibliographical note, ‘Maidenhead to Conventical: The Curious Transformation of a Woodcut’ in The Library, vII, 21 (March 2020), 102‐109, have been accidentally reversed. Figure 1, A pleasant comedy, called A mayden‐head well lost, 1634, should be Mal. 178 (3), and Figure 2, The Brownists conventicle, 1641, should be Ashm. 1034 (18). I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Yours, William Proctor Williams

The Norton Chaucer ed. by David Lawton

Reviewed by: The Norton Chaucer ed. by David Lawton David Raybin David Lawton, ed. The Norton Chaucer. New York: W. W. Norton, 2019. Pp. xii, 1196. $62.50 cloth; $35.00 e-book. Chaucer scholars and students alike may be grateful to David Lawton for his composition of a much-needed and reasonably priced classroom-friendly edition of Chaucer's complete works. The sturdy, hardback Norton Chaucer provides reliable texts and helpful introductory material, and it is admirably user-friendly for both students and a general audience. Pages are easy on the eyes, presenting Chaucer's poetry and prose in single columns and a large and crisp font. Marginal glosses are placed at the side of each page, with explanatory notes at the bottom. Lawton's lightly modernized texts are easily legible, and the presentation is comfortable enough for sitting back in a chair and reading. As best as I can tell, the only other edition of the complete works currently in print is Oxford University Press's 2008 paperback reissue of the 1987 Riverside Chaucer, available in Britain but not for sale in the United States or Canada. Thus, for North Americans who wish to read all of Chaucer, the book is a necessity. British readers may also prefer Norton, as the Riverside paperback's minuscule print and back-of-volume notes are difficult to use for many readers. It must be acknowledged that the Norton Chaucer is not a replacement for Riverside as a standard scholarly edition. The glories of Riverside are its voluminous explanatory and textual notes, detailed (albeit now out-dated) discussions of the critical tradition, and an authoritative list of primary texts. In contrast, Norton includes no textual notes and relatively few explanatory notes, treats the critical tradition only minimally, presents a selective three-page bibliographical note that ignores primary sources, and prints only fifty lines from the G-text of the Prologue to The Legend of Good Women (those related to "Chaucer's library" [1117]). Recommendations for reading about Chaucer's life are limited to Derek Pearsall's 1992 biography and two articles by Christopher Cannon on raptus and rape (though a careful eye will find Marion Turner's massive Chaucer: A European Life mentioned in relation to "Chaucer's place as a European writer and thinker" [51]). Norton's twenty-six-page glossary hardly compares with Riverside's hundred pages of Middle English words and seventeen pages of proper names. What the Norton Chaucer does offer is a splendid volume for classroom use. Lawton's General Introduction (fifty-three pages) speaks lucidly of Chaucer's life, reading, afterlives, and reception; of the urban and national [End Page 421] political and social environments that he inhabited; and of the manuscripts and principal editions of his various works. An additional section (eleven pages) offers a cogent treatment of Chaucer's language and meter, and a rationale for mild modernization of the manuscript spellings. Brief descriptive analyses introduce each of Chaucer's longer works, the different parts (fragments) of the Canterbury Tales, and the shorter poems. This presentation facilitates "reading Chaucer in his original language" by recognizing that "nonspecialist readers … may need less apparatus and more help than standard scholarly editions provide" (45). A CD included with the book introduces readers to the sounds of Chaucer's Middle English. Twenty-nine admirably clear recordings from across Chaucer's work—by Lawton, Jennifer Brown, Ruth Evans, and Elizabeth Robertson—capture the energy and many voices of Chaucer's poetry. What matters most in a Chaucer edition is, of course, the quality of its texts, and Lawton's texts are reliable. He has reedited "[e]very line of Chaucer's poetry, consulting manuscripts, [E. Talbot] Donaldson's text [in the 1958 Chaucer's Poetry]), and the decisions of other editors" (ix), including light adaptation of Kathryn Lynch's Norton Critical Edition of the dream poems. Chaucer's prose texts are newly edited by Jennifer Arch. Following on Donaldson's lead, Lawton has rethought punctuation and modernized spelling, though not to the extent of his predecessor, and he has retained the traditional Canterbury Tales line numbering by part instead of Donaldson's separate numbering of each tale...

A Companion to Medieval Translation, ed. Jeanette Beer. Leeds: Arc Humanities Press, 2019, viii, 200 pp.

Medieval literature, philosophy, medicine, and many other fields cannot be imagined without considering the huge role played by translations. Scholars have worked on this field already for many years, leading among them Jeanette Beer, who here brings together a number of authors who address specific aspects pertinent to translation work mostly in medieval literature. While she herself offers a concise introduction, she rounds off the volume with a study of the work by the anonymous compiler of Li Fet des Romans from the early thirteenth century which represents the earliest extant work of ancient historiography translated into a European medieval vernacular. The translator offers most detailed comments about his motivation and translation strategies, which helps us understand considerably how medieval writers approached their task. But back to the Introduction. Here Beer traces the history of the earliest translations, beginning with the famous Strasbourg Oaths from 842, turning to Eulalia, the Valenciennes Fragment, and Marie de France, among others. Subsequently Beer outlines the major highlights of this collected volume, highlighting that the contributors address vernaculars such as Latin (not really a vernacular), French, Anglo-Norman, Italian, English, Old Norse, German, Arabic, and Hebrew. Indeed, some of the chapters cover those languages, but we do not hear anything about German, Arabic, or Hebrew, apart from some very fleeting references. She correctly notes that the world prior to the printing press was deeply determined by textual mouvance which provided enormous flexibility in the rendering and display of texts in the manuscripts. The Introduction concludes with a bibliography and a bibliographical note about the author. This model is applied throughout the entire volume.

Die Übersetzung von Kapitel 1 des Shuihu zhuan [水滸傳] von Max Gerhard Pernitzsch (1929)

The Shuihu zhuan 水滸傳 is one of the best known traditional Chinese novels, an adventure story with picaresque elements and social critique. This presentation offers chapter 1 of a practically unknown German version by Sinologist Max Gerhard Pernitzsch (1882–1945), which was published in Batavia in 1929, and is thus a contribution to the history of the reception of this novel the first complete translation of which (into English, by Pearl S. Buck) was published in 1933; a condensed version in German by Franz Kuhn appeared in 1934, but it leaves out chapter 1. So it seems that Pernitzsch’s translation of chapter 1 is the first complete one into any European language, if we discount the fragment given by Louis Bazin in 1850–1851. Pernitzsch’s translation is reliable, makes good reading and was targeted at a wider audience. From a remark in a letter by the celebrated critic Erwin von Zach, it may be deduced that Pernitzsch had either translated the whole novel, or at least a considerable part of it, and tried to get it published in Germany, by the good offices of Prof. Ferdinand Lessing of the Oriental Seminar at Berlin. Unfortunately, very little is known about Pernitzsch – there are no letters, library, manuscripts, photographs. Therefore the editor of the translation gave the scanty data in full, including a professional evaluation of Pernitzsch by Hamburg Sinologist Fritz Jäger. This bibliographical note refrains from going into the textual history of the novel which the well-known specialist on Ming fiction, Ma Yau-woon 馬幼垣, discussed exensively in his books on the subject.

Review] BARRIONUEVO, S, J. (2018). An overview of the Corpus Protagoreum: A Bibliographical Note on Laks and Most’s Early Greek Philosophy

The recent nine-volume edition of the Early Greek Philosophy by Andre Laks and Glenn W. Most for the “Loeb Classical Library” collection (Harvard University Press) is announced as the new reference work. This work aims to replace the canonical edition of Diels and Kranz (1952). For this reason it includes new historiographical and doxographic perspectives. Due to the importance of the work, in this short bibliographical note I would like to review the edition of the fragments of Protagoras in comparison with previous editions of the sophist of Abdera. First, I make a historical overview of the construction of the corpus protagoreum . Then, I will concentrate on the novelties presented by the new edition of Laks and Most with respect to that of Diels and Kranz. Finally, I will make some ending remarks regarding this new collection.

Al Purdy, Marius Barbeau, and the Northwest Coast: A Bibliographical Note on a Forgotten Manuscript

The numerous books of the poet Al Purdy (1918–2000) are well known to readers of modern Canadian literature. His extensive archives conceal many unnoticed works, however, and the true extent of his literary career can only be seen when the unpublished writing is brought into view. A manuscript from the early 1960s – “Yehl the Raven and Other Creation Myths of the Haida” – illustrates the importance of the archives to studies of his life and works. The obscure sequence of poems demonstrates Purdy’s ethnographic interests and represents a point of contact between modern Canadian literature and mid-century anthropology. It also shows Purdy to have been engaged, for a time, in a manner of writing that was largely distinct from the autobiographical, anecdotal mode that typifies the poetry on which his reputation rests. He wrote his “Creation Myths” by adapting narratives found in the studies of Marius Barbeau (1883–1969), the Canadian folklorist and ethnographer. He attempted to publish the resultant poems as a short book, but “Yehl the Raven” never appeared in print, and although the manuscript has not been utterly invisible to Purdy’s colleagues and critics, it has been mischaracterized, unappreciated, and essentially overlooked. Nor have its origins and virtual disappearance yet been explained. This brief essay consequently examines the manuscript and suggests why it merits critical attention.
