British Sporting Periodicals: An Annotated Bibliography de M. L. Biscotti

British Sporting Periodicals: An Annotated Bibliography

Autor M. L. Biscotti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 sep 2019
Since the 1700s, British periodicals devoted to field sports have been reporting developments in techniques, trends, legislation, conservation, and more. They therefore provide a detailed examination of the country's rich and broad history of hunting, fishing, foxhunting, and related shooting sports.

British Sporting Periodicals: An Annotated Bibliography is the first comprehensive listing of all the periodicals on field sports produced in Great Britain up to 1950. Each title is described in detail, including publisher, place of publication, general content, format, frequency of issue, and publishing history. The book also includes many wonderful images of magazine covers and front pages, diagrams that trace various name changes and mergers, and a detailed timeline.

Exhaustively researched and carefully compiled, British Sporting Periodicals is a valuable reference tool for collectors, historians, and researchers of field sports.

Recenzii

Biscotti's work is arguably one of the most important new listings of British Sporting Periodicals to date. His research into their publishing history and precise listing of where they may be found (both online and elsewhere) offers a truly valuable resource for locating this often obscure material. Biscotti has created an invaluable benchmark from which future findings may now be mapped and added.
British Sporting Periodicals is a vital reference for the researcher of sporting periodicals. Duke Biscotti's work traces the evolution of British sporting history as recorded in its magazines, journals, almanacs, and more. Biscotti's work is full of cited sources, descriptions of each periodical, and the evolution of specific titles over years and decades. This work will become an instant go-to resource for collectors and researchers alike.
This will be a very useful work on an area not covered by other bibliographies. Many of these periodicals are underrated, with important contributions by the leading writers of their day. If some of the articles were published separately they would be highly sought after.
