Reference : LBW-8438
Très grande carte touristique de l'Écosse, dessinée par Frederick Griffin et publiée vers 1960 par The Scottish Tourist Board, organisation de tourisme fondée en 1945, aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de VisitScotland. Cette carte a été conçue dans le cadre d'une campagne pour la promotion du tourisme en Écosse, mettant l'accent sur l'histoire de l'île, illustrée de nombreuses vignettes représentant des sites et personnages historiques. Ainsi, dans la ville de Lanark, on peut voir une représentation de Lord William Wallace, l'une des principales figures de la résistance écossaise contre l'Angleterre, tuant le shérif anglais de Lanark, William de Heselrig, en 1296. La carte est décorée des armoiries de l'Écosse et de seize villes écossaises. En carton en haut à droite, carte des îles Shetland et Orcades. Les symboles utilisés se rapportent aux villes et villages, ports, aéroports, stations balnéaires, sites de pêche, châteaux, abbayes, prieurés et monastères, et cathédrales. La carte figure également les routes principales, les limites des comtés, les routes maritimes et les principales routes ferroviaires. La mer du Nord est décorée d'une rose des vents. L'artiste anglais Frederick Griffin (1906-1976) a réalisé de nombreuses affiches de voyage pour les chemins de fer et les compagnies aériennes britanniques. Bon exemplaire. Traces de bande adhésive dans les marges, papier légèrement froissé par endroits.

Scotland's Royal Women and European Literary Culture, 1424-1587

Summary Scotland's Royal Women and European Literary Culture, 1424-1587 seeks to fill a significant gap in the rich and ever-growing body of scholarly work on royal and aristocratic women's literary culture in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. There has, to date, been no book-length study of the literary activities of the female members of any one family across time and little study of Scotland's royal women in comparison to their European and English counterparts. This book adopts the missing diachronic perspective and examines the wives and daughters of Scotland's Stewart dynasty and their many and various associations with contemporary Scottish, English, and European literary culture over a period of just over 150 years. It also adopts a timely cross-border and cross-period perspective by taking a trans-national approach to the study of literary history and examining a range of texts and individuals from across the traditional medieval/early modern divide. In exploring the inter-related lives and letters of the women who married into the Scottish royal family from England and Europe ? and those daughters who married outwith Scotland into Europe's royal families ? the resultant study consistently looks beyond Scotland's land and sea borders. In so doing, it moves Scottish literary culture from the periphery to the centre of Europe and demonstrates the constitutive role that Scotland's royal women played in an essentially shared literary and artistic culture.

Summary This is the tenth volume in a continuing series of publications listing and identifying all illustrations contained in English manuscripts from the time of Chaucer to Henry VIII. This was an important period in the history of book production in Britain, and the range of subject-matter illustrated is of significance to historians of art, religion, literature, costume, natural science, and social custom. The present volume extends the survey to Scotland and catalogues not only English but also Scottish and Gaelic manuscripts from the collections of the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, as well as manuscripts made on the Continent for English and Scottish book-owners. The catalogue contains entries for 112 manuscripts and notes the subject-matter of every illustration in each manuscript, from full-page miniatures and historiated initials to marginalia, added drawings and nota bene signs. A comprehensive index of pictorial subjects provides readers with complete references to the visual material with thematic groupings making the following categories easily accessible: animals, architecture, birds, Christ, costume, furniture, kings, musical instruments, occupations/professions, plants, saints, Virgin Mary, weapons, and women. The volume also includes a user's guide, an extensive glossary of subjects and terms, and indexes of authors/texts, manuscripts with coats of arms, and Scottish and English names.
