Comprehensive account of colonial New England domestic life
1999/11/8
First published in both England and American in 1893, Alice Morse Earle's work met with very positive reviews. She pioneered the use of diaries, chruch records, newspaper accounts, letters and household inventories in the preparation of this work. Her engaging writing style made her works very popular. She presents fascinating, unvarnished views of child life, travel, taverns, table plenishments, home interiors, courtship, marriage, sports, diversions, medicine along with funeral and burial customs. The reader will find this work humorous, entertaining, thoughtful and her subjects picturesque, bizarre and curious. To this unabridged text has been added a new introduction along with biographical material on and photograph of the author. This is a widely referenced, widely consulted classic.

Comprehensive look at everyday life in the 17th/18th Century
1999/10/29
形式:ペーパーバック
Alice Morse Earle's work is a fascinating study of everyday life in 17th and 18th century New England and is recognized as one of the historical classics. She looks at child life, courtships, holidays, marriage, drinks, medicines, letters, sports and diversions. She makes use of diaries, letters, household inventories, and church records to write a history of this period. Earle's choice of topics combined with her melodic style of writing and pioneering use of first person accounts has resulted in a well documented, easily readable classic about our American past, well suited for the researcher and casual reader alike.

Lack of quality control makes this unreadable!
2009/12/31
形式:ペーパーバック
This is not a review of the contents of the book. Alice Morse Earle's work should be considered a national treasure.
This publisher, however, has merely run an Optical Character Recognition program on a scan of the original book done for Google. They warn you of this, both in the description above and on the back of the title page of the book.
I would have been willing to overlook an occasional typo or formatting problem, but this production is pitiful. The title on the cover is not capitalized correctly. Part of the title page has been incorporated into the title of Section 1. The policies and checkout slip for The University of California library have been left at the end of the book. On page 33 (which I chose at random) there are 23 typographical errors including lines split incorrectly and the words "P: tl" and "ii11inix(". Page 33 is in Section 2 which is entitled "COUKTSHIP AND MAEEIAGE CUSTOMS".
This lack of even the vestige of a discounted rumor of quality control is particularly irritating since AME quotes diaries and letters from the period with the variant spellings and punctuation common at the time. The lack of effort by the publisher makes the book irritating at best and unreadable in spots.
As a sop to those of us who either purchased the book or were given it as a gift, the publisher kindly gives us access to the original scan for free. But the original scan was done by Google not by the publisher. The truly sad thing is that there are other reprints available that are readable and inexpensive including a complete and searchable text file on line for free.
I consider the money spent on this book wasted except for the knowledge attained that this is a publisher to avoid. I am just amazed that they would have the gall to charge for such a slipshod production.
