Benjamin Britten -- Letters from a Life: The Selected Letters of Benjamin Britten: 1946-1951 Volume Three University of California Press 2005 . Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket (still shrink wrapped). 784pp. This long-awaited third volume of composer Benjamin Britten's remarkable letters covers the years 1946-51. Fresh from the astonishing success of his great first opera, Peter Grimes, Britten was vital to the post-war rebuilding of the arts in Great Britain with his visionary work as a composer, conductor, and performer. With his partner, the celebrated tenor Peter Pears, he founded the Aldeburgh Festival, which eventually grew into the international festival that it is today, and the English Opera Group. He also toured widely in Europe and the United States as a pianist and conductor. During this time he wrote many of his best-known works, including the operas Billy Budd, Albert Herring, and The Rape of Lucretia. Britten's correspondents include literary figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Edith Sitwell, E. M. Forster (the librettist for Billy Budd), and Edward Sackville-West, as well as musical colleagues from around the world including Ernest Ansermet, Francis Poulenc, Aaron Copland, and Igor Stravinsky. This volume of selected letters represents one of the richest and most innovative periods of the composer's creative life. His daily concerns and the unique era in which he lived are vividly evoked by the comprehensive and scholarly annotations, which offer a wide range of detailed and fascinating information. Donald Mitchell contributes a superb introduction. £ 30

Mervyn Cooke -- Britten and the Far East: Asian Influences in the Music of Benjamin Britten (Aldeburgh Studies in Music) Boydell 2001 . Near Fine in publishers decorated wrappers with unopened CD. 279pp. Reprint. This book is for anyone wanting to get to grips with Britten's music and his eclectic compositional style - crucial reading. It is a fascinating and persuasive blend of documentary and critical study. Benjamin Britten's interest in the musical traditions of the Far East had a far-reaching influence on his compositional style; this book is the first to investigate the highly original cross-cultural synthesis he was able to achieve through the use of material borrowed from Balinese, Japanese and Indian music. Britten's visit to Indonesia and Japan in 1955-56 is reconstructed from archival sources, and shown to have had a profound impact on his subsequent work: the techniques of Balinese gamelan music were used in the ballet "The Prince of the Pagodas" (1957), and then became an essential feature of Britten's compositional style, at their most potent in "Death in Venice" (1973). The No drama and Gagaku court music of Japan were the inspiration for the trilogy of church parables Britten composed in the 1960s. The precise nature of these influences is discussed; Britten's sporadic borrowings from Indian music are also fully analysed. There is a survey of critical response to Britten's cross-cultural experiments. It accompanies CD of original Balinese, Japanese and Indian recordings used by Britten as source material. Dr. Mervyn Cooke lectures in music at the University of Nottingham. £ 25

Francois de la Rochefoucauld -- A Frenchman's Year in Suffolk, 1784 Boydell Press 2001 . Near Fine in publishers cloth in price clipped dustjacket. 225pp. Illustrated. 1st edition. When Francois de la Rochefoucauld, and his brother Alexandre visited Suffolk in 1784, the events which were to lead to the French Revolution in 1789 were already in train. Francois' father, the duc de Liancourt, Grand Master of the Wardrobe at Louis XVI's court, was well placed to appreciate the dangers of the situation in France, and it must have been with anxious hopefulness that he sent his sons (Francois was then 18) to England for a year to appreciate the ordering of these things in a country which had experienced a revolution over a century earlier. Such reflections are never far below the surface of this otherwise cheerful book, which gives a vivid picture of English provincial life in a good year. (East Anglian) This journal by Francois de la Rochefoucauld, who spent the whole of 1784 in Suffolk with his brother Alexandre and their tutor, wonderfully conveys the atmosphere of the county in the 18th century. Based in Bury St Edmunds, the three also travelled widely throughout the region, and their comments demonstrate the contrast between English life, and the French life the boys knew, where the events which were to lead to the French Revolution in 1789 were already in train. Such reflections are never far below the surface of this otherwise cheerful book, which gives a vivid picture of East Anglian life in a good year; Francois's observations range over such diverse subjects as English customs and manners and methods of agriculture and stockbreeding, and include a lively account of a general election. The spirited translation is complemented by the numerous illustrations.'A fascinating account of provincial life and manners.' £ 18

Elizabeth Freke -- The Remembrances of Elizabeth Freke 1671-1714 Cambridge University Press 2001 . Inscription on endpaper else Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 350pp. 1st edition. Edited by Raymond A. Anselment. In writing and then rewriting autobiographical remembrances recalling three decades of marriage and ensuing years of widowhood, Elizabeth Freke strikingly redefines the relationships among self, family, and patriarchy characteristic of early modern women's autobiography. Suffering and sacrifice dominate an extensive ledger of disappointment and bitterness that reveals over time the complex emotions of a Norfolk gentry woman seeking significance and even vindication in her hardships and frustrations. The infirm woman who eventually found herself utterly alone remained to the end a contentious, melodramatic, yet formidable figure - a strong-willed, even sympathetic person intent upon asserting herself against what she perceived as familial neglect and legal abuse. By making available both versions of the remembrances in their entirety, this new, multiple-text edition clarifies the refashioning inherent in each stage of writing and rewriting, recovering with unusual immediacy Freke's late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century domestic world. £ 30

Signed by Author.In this intriguing collection of old images of Harwich and Dovercourt, the borough is evocatively recreated in over 200 photographs, postcards and engravings many of which come from private collections and have not been published before. This collection gives an insight into the everyday life of the people who have shaped the history of this northeast Essex peninsula. From the early beginnings of the borough, in the Middle Ages, Harwich and Dovercourt has provided a refuge from the harsh easterly winds, whilst also promoting the area as a prosperous commercial centre. Through developments in town planning during the twentieth century and the reshaping of the harbour to this day, this borough of Harwich and Dovercourt continues to adapt to these changes. Images of boats and barges docked in the harbour are preserved in this volume alongside street scenes of Harwich's many winding alleys and small yards. 'Harwich and Dovercourt' is a valuable pictorial history of this vibrant coastal area which will delight those who have visited the area for recreational or commercial purposes and evoke memories of times past for those who have lived through the daily experiences here. £ 11

Colin Platt -- The Architecture of Mediaeval Britain Yale University Press 1990 . Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustacket. 325pp. Illustrated throughout. 4to. 1st edition. This is an approach to the social history and architectural heritage of medieval Britain through an examination of its buildings. History and archaeology are brought together to study those characteristics of medieval architecture which mirrored contemporary values, and to investigate the buildings for what they tell us of their period. The Normans thought big, and their great cathedrals at Winchester and Durham reflect this. No castle, especially in the late Middle Ages, was intended exclusively for defence, so that Warwick and Bothwell, Herstmonceux and Bodiam are notable less for strength than for display. Chivalry and religious faith were the guiding principles of late-medieval society, but there were also rising expectations of material comfort and personal privacy at all levels of society. Significant improvements in personal life-style are one major theme in Colin Platt's book, and the contemporary development of death styles reflected in memorial architecture after the Black Death is another. £ 35

Norman Scarfe -- Innocent Espionage: The La Rochefoucauld Brothers' Tour of England in 1785 Boydell (Woodbridge) 1995 . Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 270pp. Illustrated. 1st edition. Looking at England in the early months of 1785, covering 20 or even 30 miles a day and making detailed and intelligent notes at night, the two brothers, Francois and Alexandre, and their tutor, saw landscapes still visible today; but the world of the momentous industrial revolution and optimism that, as patriots, they envied, is one we can only envy them for knowing and admire them for recording. Making good use of their time, the group travelled along rutted roads from inn to inn, visiting factories, plunging down mines, exploring dockyards and cathedrals. One is glad that both boys survived the Revolution, but even more remarkable is the survival of their manuscripts, here presented with such scholarship and joy by Norman Scarfe. Norman Scarfe best known for his studies of East Anglia, has also edited and translated the earlier travels of the brothers as "A Frenchman's Year in Suffolk, 1794" (Boydell and Brewer in 1988). There is nothing like the journals of contemporaries to bring into focus... Magdalen bridge and the iron bridge at Coalbrookdale both freshly built, Adam's new furniture gleaming in Kedleston, the Bridgewater canals in full operation, Robert Bakewell in his farm and Priestley in his laboratory... Nowhere have such experiences been more sharply recorded than in the letter-diaries of three intrepid foreigners who travelled this country in 1785. The book ranks in interest with Defoe and Cobbett, and fills the gap between them... In this wonderful book, we have a portrait of England at its most beautiful and most vigorous, of Jane Austen's idyllic countryside and Blake's Satanic mills. £ 18

John Walter -- Understanding Popular Violence in the English Revolution: The Colchester Plunderers (Past & Present Publications)  Cambridge University Press 1999 . Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 372pp. 1st edition. This is a critical re-evaluation of one of the best known episodes of crowd action in the English Revolution, in which crowds in their thousands invaded and plundered the houses of the landed classes. The so-called Stour Valley riots have become accepted as the paradigm of class hostility, determining plebeian behaviour within the Revolution. An excercise in micro-history, the book questions this dominant reading by trying to understand the inter-related contexts of local responses to the political and religious counter-revolution of the 1630s and the confessional politics of the early 1640s. It explains both the outbreak of popular 'violence' and its ultimate containment in terms of a popular (and parliamentary) political culture that legitimised attacks on the political, but not the social, order. The book also advances a series of general arguments for reading crowd actions, and questions how the history of the English Revolution has been written. £ 45
