Book Description
First published in 1959, Iona and Peter Opie's The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren is a pathbreaking work of scholarship that is also a splendid and enduring work of literature. Going outside the nursery, with its assortment of parent-approved entertainments, to observe and investigate the day-to-day creative intelligence and activities of children, the Opies bring to life the rites and rhymes, jokes and jeers, laws, games, and secret spells of what has been called "the greatest of savage tribes, and the only one which shows no signs of dying out."

Book Description
Amelia Alderson Opie (1769-1853) was an English poet and novelist who also wrote songs, short stories, and works for children. Born in Norwich, she was married to the artist John Opie. She moved easily in literary and artistic circles and in high social circles in England and France. She was a close friend of the Gurney family, members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and was greatly influenced by and involved with their good works -- the prison reforms of Elizabeth Fry (nee Gurney) and the anti-slavery campaigning of Hannah Gurney's husband, Thomas Fowell Buxton. Under the influence of J.J. Gurney, Amelia Opie became a Quaker in 1825.

Book Description
A Passion for Performance: Sarah Siddons and Her Portraitists brings together three engaging essays – by Robyn Asleson, Shelley Bennett and Mark Leonard, and Shearer West – that recreate the eventful life, both on and off the stage, of the great eighteenth-century actress Sarah Siddons. Siddons was renowned for her bravura performances in tragic roles, and her fame was enhanced by the many portraits of her painted by the leading artists of the day. The greatest of these was Sir Joshua Reynolds’s Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse, a painting now in the Huntington Art Collections and recently studied at the Getty Center. A Passion for Performance places this magnificent portrait within the context of Siddons’s career as an actress and cultural icon. Includes a chronology of Siddons’s life by volume editor Robyn Asleson.
