The Making of Mary Shelley’s FrankensteinDaisy Hay

‘Invention … does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos’ – Mary Shelley

In the 200 years since its first publication, the story of Frankenstein’s creation during stormy days and nights at Byron’s Villa Diodati on Lake Geneva has become literary legend. In this book, Daisy Hay returns to the objects and manuscripts of the novel’s genesis in order to assemble its story anew.

Frankenstein was inspired by the extraordinary people surrounding the eighteen-year-old author and by the places and historical dramas that formed the backdrop of her youth. Featuring manuscripts, portraits, illustrations and artefacts, The Making of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein explores the novel’s time and place, its people, the relics of its long afterlife and the notebooks in which it was created. Hay strips Frankenstein back to its constituent parts revealing an uneven novel written by a young woman deeply engaged in the process of working out what she thought about the pressing issues of her time: science, politics, religion, slavery, maternity, the imagination, creativity and community. This is a compelling and innovative biography of the novel for all those fascinated by its essential, brilliant chaos.

DAISY HAY is the author of Young Romantics: The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives and Mr and Mrs Disraeli: A Strange Romance.

Typographic FirstsJohn Boardley

How were the first fonts made? Who invented italics? When did we work out how to print in colour?

Many of the standard features of printed books were designed by pioneering typographers and printers in the latter half of the fifteenth century. Although Johannes Gutenberg is credited with printing the first books in Europe with moveable type, at the height of the Renaissance many different European printers and publishers found innovative solutions to replicate the appearance of manuscript books in print and improve on them. The illustrated examples in Typographic Firsts originate in those early decades, bringing into focus the influences and innovations that shaped the printed book and established a Western typographic canon.

From the practical challenges of polychromatic printing or printing music staves and notes to the techniques for illustrating books with woodcuts, producing books for children and the design of the first fonts, these stories chart the invention of the printed book, the world’s first means of mass communication. Also covering title pages, maps, printing in gold and printing in colour, this book shows how a mixture of happenstance and brilliant technological innova-tion came together to form the typographic and design conventions of the book.

JOHN BOARDLEY is a writer and design consultant.

The University of Oxford: A Brief HistoryLaurence Brockliss

The University of Oxford is the third oldest university in Europe and remains one of the greatest universities in the world. How did such an ancient institution flourish through the ages?

This book offers a succinct illustrated account of its colourful and controversial 800-year history, from medieval times through the Reformation and on to the nineteenth century, in which the foun-dations of the modern tutorial system were laid. It describes the extraordinary and influential people who shaped the development of the institution and helped to create today’s world-class research university.

Institutions have waxed and waned over the centuries but Oxford has always succeeded in reinventing itself to meet the demands of a new age. Richly illustrated with archival material, prints and portraits, this book explores how a university in a small provincial town rose to become one of the top universities in the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

LAURENCE BROCKLISS is Emeritus Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was a Tutor in History for more than thirty years.

Sindbad the Sailor & Other Stories from the Arabian NightsIllustrated by Edmund DulacTranslated by Laurence HousmanIntroduction by Marina Warner

The much-loved tales from The Thousand and One Nights first appeared in English translation in the early nineteenth century. The popularity of these ancient and beguiling tales set against the back-drop of Baghdad, a city of wealth and peace, stoked the widespread enthusiasm for and scholarly interest in eastern arts and culture, which had been a dominant fashion in Europe for almost a century.

Four of the most well-known tales, translated by Laurence Housman, are reproduced in this collector’s edition: Sindbad the Sailor, Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp, The Story of the Three Calendars and The Sleeper Awakened. Each is illustrated with exquisite watercolours by the renowned artist Edmund Dulac. The sumptuous illustrations reproduced here capture the beauty and timeless quality of these alluring stories, made at the zenith of early twentieth-century book illustration.

EDMUND DULAC was born in France but resident in London from the early 1900s, where he made his name as an illustrator of luxurious picture books.

Martin Lister and his Remarkable DaughtersThe Art of Science in the Seventeenth Century

Anna Marie Roos

Martin Lister, royal physician and fellow of the Royal Society, was an extraordinarily prolific natural historian with an expertise in shells and molluscs.

Disappointed with the work of established artists, Lister decided to teach his daughters, Susanna and Anna, how to illustrate images of the specimens he studied. The sisters became so skilled at this that Lister entrusted them with his great work, Historiæ Conchyliorum, assembled between 1685 and 1692. This first comprehensive study of conchology consisted of over 1,000 copperplates of shells and molluscs collected from around the world. Martin Lister and his Remarkable Daughters reconstructs the creation of this master-work, from the identification of the original shells to the drawings themselves, and from the engraved copperplates to the draft prints and final books.

Susanna and Anna portrayed the shells not only as curious and beautiful objects, but also as specimens of natural history rendered with sensitivity and keen scientific empiricism. Beautiful in their own right, these illustrations and engravings reveal the early techniques behind scientific illustration together with the often unnoticed role of women in the scientific revolution.

ANNA MARIE ROOS is Reader in the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Lincoln.

It’s All GreekBorrowed Words and their Histories

Alexander Tulloch

Most of us are aware that words such as geometry, mathematics, phobia and hypochondria derive from ancient Greek, but did you know that marmalade, pirate, sketch and purse can also trace their linguistic origins back to the Athens of 500 bce?

This book offers a word-by-word look at the influence of Greek on everyday words in English, telling the stories behind the etymolog-ical developments of each example and tracing their routes into modern English via Latin and European languages. It also explains connections with ancient Greek culture, in particular mythology, politics and warfare, and includes proverbs and quotations from Greek literature.

Taken together, these words show how we are deeply indebted to the language spoken in Athens 2,500 years ago for the everyday vocabulary we use when conducting our daily business.

ALEXANDER TULLOCH is a full-time author, linguist and translator.

The Devil’s DictionaryAmbrose BierceIntroduction by John Simpson

DIPLOMACY, n. The patriotic art of lying for one’s country.

In 1881 Ambrose Bierce, journalist and former soldier for the Union army in the Civil War, began writing satirical definitions for the San Francisco Wasp, and then for William Randolph Hearst’s San Francisco Examiner. Bierce was launched on a journalistic career that would see him liked and loathed in equal measure – and earn him the title of ‘the wickedest man in San Francisco’.

In his column, Bierce, a contemporary of Mark Twain, brought his biting black humour to bear on spoof definitions of everyday words, writing deliberate mistranslations of the vocabulary of the establishment, the Church and the politics of his day, and shining a sardonic light on hypocrisy and deception.

These columns formed the beginnings of a dictionary, first published in 1906 as The Cynic’s Word Book. Over 100 years later, Bierce’s redefinitions still give us pause for thought – REPORTER, n. A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it with a tempest of words; UN-AMERICAN, adj. Wicked, intolerable, heathenish; POLITICS, n. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage – making for a timely new edition of this irreverent and provocative satire.

AMBROSE BIERCE (1842 – circa 1914) was an American short story writer, journalist, poet and Civil War veteran.

JOHN SIMPSON is the former Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. His memoir, The Word Detective, was published by Little, Brown and Basic Books in 2016.

The Real McCoy and 149 other EponymsClaire Cock-Starkey

The English language is rich with eponyms – words that are named after an individual – some better known than others. This book features 150 of the most interesting and enlightening specimens, delving into the origins of the words and describing the fascinating people after whom they were named.

Eponyms are derived from numerous sources. Some are named in honour of a style icon, inventor or explorer, such as pompadour, Kalashnikov and Cadillac. Others have their roots in Greek or Roman mythology, such as panic and tantalise. A number of eponyms, however, are far from celebratory and were created to indicate a rather less positive association – into this category can be filed boycott, Molotov cocktail and sadist.

Encompassing eponyms from medicine, botany, invention, science, fashion, food and literature, this book uncovers the intriguing tales of discovery, mythology, innovation and infamy behind the eponyms we use every day. The perfect addition to any wordsmith’s bookshelf.

CLAIRE COCK-STARKEY is the author of The Book Lovers’ Miscellany (2017) and A Library Miscellany (2018).

Oxford FreemasonsA Social History of Apollo University Lodge

Joe Mordaunt Crook and James W. Daniel

Over the past 200 years, many thousands of undergraduates have been initiated into membership of Apollo – the Masonic Lodge of the University of Oxford. These have included such diverse figures as Oscar Wilde, Osbert Lancaster, Samuel Reynolds Hole, Cecil Rhodes, Edward, Prince of Wales and his brother Leopold, Charles Canning, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Godfrey Elton and Roger Makins.

Drawing on archives held in the Bodleian Library, this book is the first serious attempt to set the story of Apollo in the context of Oxford life and learning as well as its wider social and political diaspora. From the devastating numbers lost in the First and Second World Wars, as well as those decorated for bravery, to the significant number of Olympians who were members of the Lodge, it also charts the Lodge’s charitable work, its changes of location, social events and adaptation to twenty-first-century life in Oxford.

Illustrated with archival material, portraits and Masonic treasures, this is history in a minor key, but a minor narrative with major implications, documenting the remarkable numbers of Oxford freemasons with distinguished careers in government, law, the army and the Church.

JOE MORDAUNT CROOK, C.B.E., F.B.A., is a celebrated architectural historian; he is a former Slade Professor and Waynflete Lecturer at the University of Oxford, and a former Public Orator and Professor of Architectural History at the University of London.

JAMES W. DANIEL, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a member of Apollo for over fifty years and a former Grand Secretary (chief executive) of the Grand Lodge, has written and contributed to many publications on freemasonry.

He was so small,

He ate at all.

But he ate so much,

It was a fright!

All day he chewed

And chewed and chewed,

For all he saw

He thought was food.

He nibbled grass,

And other things

Like paper bags,

And bits of strings,

Noise in the NightAnn AlexanderIllustrated by Abner Graboff

This lavishly illustrated book explores the huge creative endeavour behind Tolkien’s enduring popularity. Using pages from his manuscripts, drawings, maps and letters, it traces the creative process behind his most famous literary works – The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion – and reproduces personal photographs and private papers (some of which have never been seen before in print).

Tolkien drew on his deep knowledge of medieval literature and language to inform his literary imagination. This book charts the main themes in Tolkien’s life and work including the influence of northern languages and legends on the creation of his own legendarium; his concept of ‘Faërie’ as a literary construct; the central importance of his invented languages and visual imagination in his fantasy writing; as well as the encouragement he derived from the literary group known as the Inklings.

Bringing together the largest collection of original Tolkien material ever assembled in a single volume, this book draws on the Tolkien archive at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford and at Marquette University, Milwaukee, as well as private collections. The many worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien – scholarly, literary, creative and domestic – are brought together in these pages, offering a rich and detailed understanding and appreciation of an extraordinary author.

The Making of The Wind in the WillowsPeter Hunt

The Wind in the Willows has its origins in the bedtime stories that Kenneth Grahame told to his son Alastair and then continued in letters (now held in the Bodleian Library) while he was on holiday. But the book developed into something much more sophisticated than this, as Peter Hunt shows. He identifies the colleagues and friends on whom Grahame is thought to have based the characters of Mole, Rat, Badger and Toad, and explores the literary genres of boating, caravanning and motoring books on which the author drew. He also recounts the extraordinary correspondence surrounding the book’s first publication and the influence of two determined women – Elspeth Grahame and publisher’s agent Constance Smedley – who helped turn the book into the classic for children we know and love today, when it was almost entirely intended for adults.

Generously illustrated with original drawings, fan letters (including one from President Roosevelt) and archival material, this book explores the mysteries surrounding one of the most successful works of children’s literature ever published.

PETER HUNT is Professor Emeritus in English and Children’s Literature at Cardiff University.

Janet Stone’s photograph albums feature informal portraits from the mid-twentieth century of many of the leading British cultural figures and personalities of the day. The wife of the distinguished engraver Reynolds Stone established a kind of literary salon in the idyllic setting of the Old Rectory at Litton Cheney in West Dorset. Here their wide circle of friends could visit, work and flourish as Janet photographed them.

Included between these pages are portraits of Benjamin Britten, Peter Pears, John Piper, Iris Murdoch, John Bayley, C. Day-Lewis, Jill Balcon, Kenneth Clark, Freya Stark, Siegfried Sassoon, Willa Muir, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Frances Partridge as well as Janet’s husband Reynolds and her family. Although not a technically accomplished photographer, Janet instinctively knew the best moment to click the shutter, thus often capturing her subjects off-guard and at their most informal. In this way we see picnics by the tennis court, John Bayley trying on a headscarf, or a young Daniel Day-Lewis dressed up as a knight. Others are portrayed reading or relaxing in the gardens, drink in hand.

These unique portraits give a beguiling insight into a special set of circumstances: an idyllic place and time and a group of people drawn together by two contrasting but complementary personalities, the shy genius of Reynolds and the outgoing style and glamour of Janet Stone.

Evelyn Waugh’s OxfordBarbara CookeWith illustrations by Amy DoddForeword by Alexander Waugh

Oxford held a special place in Evelyn Waugh’s imagination. So formative were his Oxford years that the city never left him, appearing again and again in his novels in various forms. This book explores in rich visual detail the abiding importance of Oxford as both location and experience in his literary and visual works. Drawing on specially commissioned illustrations and previously unpublished photographic material, it provides a critically robust assessment of Waugh’s engagement with Oxford over the course of his literary career.

Following a brief overview of Waugh’s life and work, subsequent chapters look at the prose and graphic art Waugh produced as an undergraduate together with Oxford’s portrayal in Brideshead Revisited and A Little Learning as well as broader conceptual concerns of religion, sexuality and idealised time. A specially commissioned, hand-drawn trail around Evelyn Waugh’s Oxford guides the reader through the city Waugh knew and loved through locations such as the Botanic Garden, the Oxford Union and The Chequers.

A unique literary biography, this book brings to life Waugh’s Oxford, exploring the lasting impression it made on one of the most accomplished literary craftsmen of the twentieth century.

Ada, Countess of Lovelace (1815–1852), daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron and his highly educated wife, Anne Isabella, is sometimes called the world’s first computer programmer. But how did a young woman in the nineteenth century without formal education become a pioneer of computer science?

This book uses previously unpublished archival material to explore her precocious childhood, from her ideas for a steam-powered flying horse to penetrating questions about the science of rainbows. A remarkable correspondence course with the eminent mathematician Augustus De Morgan shows her developing into a gifted, perceptive and knowledgeable mathematician. Active in Victorian London’s social and scientific elite alongside Mary Somerville, Michael Faraday and Charles Dickens, Ada Lovelace became fascinated by the computing machines devised by Charles Babbage. The table of mathematical formulae sometimes called the ‘first programme’ occurs in her paper about his most ambitious invention, his unbuilt ‘Analytical Engine’.

Ada Lovelace died at just thirty-six, but her paper still strikes a chord to this day, with clear explanations of the principles of computing, and broader ideas on computer music and artificial intelligence now realised in modern digital computers. Featuring images of the ‘first program’ and Lovelace’s correspondence, alongside mathematical models and contemporary illustrations, this book shows how Ada Lovelace, with astonishing prescience, explored key mathematical questions to understand the principles behind modern computing.

When Marjory Wardrop joined her diplomat brother, Oliver, in Georgia in 1894, they found themselves witnessing the birth pangs of a modern nation. Recognising the significance of these transformative years, they actively participated in the work of Ilia Chavchavadze and other leaders of the independence movement, culminating in Georgia’s declaration of independence in 1918.The Wardrops gathered a significant collection of manuscripts dating from the eleventh to the twentieth century, including a seventeenth-century manuscript of Georgia’s national epic poem, The Man in the Panther's Skin, which Marjory famously translated.

Through these items – manuscripts, royal charters, correspondence, notebooks and a draft of the 1918 declaration of independence – Nikoloz Aleksidze narrates a history of Georgian literature and culture, from the importance of epic and folk tales, to the Georgian Church’s battle against persecution, to the political activism of women in Georgia at the end of the nineteenth century.

Richly illustrated with rare and previously unpublished images, this book not only offers a unique insight into Georgian culture and political history but also tells the remarkable story of an eccentric English diplomat and his talented sister, whose monument now stands outside the parliament building in Tbilisi.

About a millennium ago, someone in Cairo completed a large and richly illustrated book guiding the reader on a journey from the outermost cosmos and planets to Earth and its lands, islands, features and inhabitants. This treatise, known as The Book of Curiosities, was unknown to modern scholars until a remarkable manuscript copy surfaced in 2000.

Lost Maps of the Caliphs provides the first general overview of The Book of Curiosities and the unique insight it offers into medieval Islamic thought. The authors use The Book of Curiosities to re-evaluate the development of astrology, geography and cartography in the first four centuries of Islam. Early astronomical ‘maps’ and drawings demonstrate the medieval understanding of the structure of the cosmos and illustrate the pervasive assumption that almost any visible celestial event had an effect upon life on Earth. Lost Maps of the Caliphs also reconsiders the history of global communication networks at the turn of the previous millennium. It shows the Fatimid Empire, and its capital Cairo, as a global maritime power, with tentacles spanning from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Indus Valley and the East African coast.

Not only is The Book of Curiosities one of the greatest achievements of medieval map-making, it is also a remarkable contribution to the story of Islamic civilisation.

For over a century this subversive rhyme has delighted children and parents alike. Its galloping rhythm is perfect for reading out loud, becoming a memory game as the list of animals – bird, cat, dog, goat – grows. Graboff’s bright and startling illustrations combine beautifully with the traditional verse to bring this classic tale to life.

ABNER GRABOFF was a highly prolific artist and children’s book illustrator, active from the 1950s to the 1970s.
