230 pp "This richly illustrated volume focuses on the hundred years between 966 and 1066, tracing the cultural, dynastic and political background to this dramatic time. The story begins with a thematic evaluation of the Anglo-Danish conflicts of Ethelred's reign and the Danish supremacy of Cnut. The brief reigns of Cnut's own sons led to the improbable coronation in 1042 of Edward the Confessor. The core of the book discusses the politics and rivalries of his reign, suggesting that Edward himself was in large part responsible for the succession crisis of 1066.The claims of the principal candidates are considered, and the traumatic events of that year explored."

Hoffmann, Richard Fishers' Craft and Lettered Art Tracts of Fishing from the End of the Middle Ages
Hardcover Good Octavo
403 pp "Fishers' Craft and Lettered Art" Provides editions, English translations, and analysis from social, cultural, and environmental perspectives on the three oldest European extended tracts on fishing. Richard Hoffmann explores the history of fishing in popular culture and outlines the economic and ecologic considerations needed to examine and understand the fishing manuals, which are presented in their original languages; Spanish and German; with facing page translations. Close attention is paid to original setting, functions, and possible range of readings, with detailed explanatory notes to help modern fishers and historians. Hoffmann further explores how continental fishing traditions were conveyed from oral craft practice into printed culture, and proposes that these manuals demonstrate a lively and complex interaction between written texts and popular culture. Fishers' Craft and Lettered Art is a fascinating look at one vital aspect of everyday life at the end of the Middle Ages."
