DISSEMINATION OF THE WEALTH OF NATIONS IN FRENCH AND IN FRANCE 1776-1843.THE
New York: The Bibliographical Society of America 2002. cloth. 8vo. cloth. lxii i 2551 pages. First edition. Adam Smith's great work of political economy reached French readers through reprints of English editions; a number of translations directed towards different audiences; and a host of summaries extracts and reviews in magazines and journals. Combining cultural history and bibliographical analysis Carpenter traces the transmission of this text and assesses the implications of its paratext - occurring in reviews and advertisements and in the front matter footnotes format and typography of more than thirty monographs and periodicals. He provides full bibliographical descriptions necessary for identifying these works and understanding their interpretative agenda as well as extensive quotations showing how translators commentators editors and publishers mediated Adam Smith's ideas. This publishing history also serves as an anthology of contemporary critical response to a text at first marginalized by the government and the book trade then adopted by intellectuals seeking an ideological basis for the French Revolution and ultimately established as a canonical work of economic thought requiring commentary and scholarly apparatus. An extensive introductory essay describes the textual transformation of the French editions and explains how French readers sought in them "a tool for creating a new society." With thirteen black-and-white illustrations and an index. The Bibliographical Society of America unknown books

Robin Hood: Die vielen Gesichter des edlen Räubers / The Many Faces of that Celebrated English Outlaw
Oldenburg Germany: Oldenburg. Near Fine. 1995. First Edition. Softcover. nice clean copy light handling wear only. Trade PB B&W and color illustrations "Robin Hood has been one of the most enduring heroes of popular culture ever since his deeds were first celebrated in medieval English ballads. The steady flow of books and films about this 'noble outlaw' in recent years demonstrates the legend's continuing appeal throughout the world and its astonishing amenability to fresh interpretation. The first part of this book is a collection of fourteen essays examining the legend from a variety of angles. The second part consists of the catalogue of a touring exhibition to be shown in six European countries in 1995-97." The essays are in both German and English some in both or a mixture but not a perfect one-to-one correlation i.e. not everything that's in German is also presented in English and vice versa; however the descriptive caption material related to the exhibition is consistently in both German and English for all items. .
