Synopsis

Ranging from music to astronomy, gardening to the Bible, this essay collection is a multi-disciplinary volume of a kind of text that was a staple of early modern English publishing: the how-to book. It tackles a wide range of subjects - everything from grammars, music books, gardening manuals to teach-yourself book-keeping - while highlighting the commonalities of diverse texts as didactic works, and situating this material in wider intellectual and material contexts.
