Texts in Context Texts in Context is a rich and unusual collection of over 400 British Library texts. It includes menus for medieval banquets and handwritten recipes scribbled inside book covers. It opens up the first English dictionary ever written and explores the secret language of the Georgian underworld. It allows you to examine the shopping lists of the East India Company and to practise sentences from colonial phrasebooks. It presents smugglers' songs, rare dialect recordings, and the logbooks of 18th century trading ships. These 'everyday' texts illustrate the many histories – social, cultural, economic, political, technical – within which language is used and produced. New - Text in Context playing cards.

The Poetry Society – Connecting you to the transformative power of poetry Enter an Archive of 6,000 Historical Children's Books, All Digitized and Free to Read Online We can learn much about how a historical period viewed the abilities of its children by studying its children's literature. Occupying a space somewhere between the purely didactic and the nonsensical, most children’s books published in the past few hundred years have attempted to find a line between the two poles, seeking a balance between entertainment and instruction. However, that line seems to move closer to one pole or another depending on the prevailing cultural sentiments of the time. And the very fact that children’s books were hardly published at all before the early 18th century tells us a lot about when and how modern ideas of childhood as a separate category of existence began. “By the end of the 18th century,” writes Newcastle University professor M.O. Grenby, “children’s literature was a flourishing, separate and secure part of the publishing industry in Britain.” Related Content: The First Children’s Picture Book, 1658’s Orbis Sensualium Pictus
