Produktinformationen zu „Books and Bookmen (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
Books & Bookmen marks the distinction between the true book hunter and the mere literary person. It reveals Lang’s poetic enthusiasm for the great book chase among the bookstalls of Victorian London, as he hopes to discover an old French play by Moliere, a first edition of Shelley or perhaps an early English printing of Edgar Poe’s poetry. For the most part, the discussions contained in Books & Bookmen deal with ephemeral material published during Gutenberg’s lifetime or European first editions that once filled the shelves of imminent bibliophiles associated with the French aristocracy in the days of Louis XIV. A simple yet compelling collection of eight essays, it presents famous bibliophiles, rare editions, old bindings, literary forgeries, and the craft of bookmaking.

As a result of his scholarly accomplishments, Lang was bestowed the St. Andrews Doctorate in 1888, the Oxford Doctorate in 1904, and was elected president of the Psychical Research Center in 1911. He died at the age of sixty-eight on July 20, 1912 in Banchory, Scotland.
