John Earle Bücher

Im Juni 1628 gab der Londoner Verleger Edward Blount einen schmalen Band mit theophrastischen Typenporträts unter dem Titel Micro-cosmographie. Or, A Peece of the World Discovered; in Essayes and Characters heraus. Obwohl der Urheber, der Humanist und spätere anglikanische Bischof John Earle, zunächst unbekannt blieb, erwies sich die in den Folgejahren maßgeblich erweiterte, bis 1732 mehrmals nachgedruckte Publikation als ein sensationeller Erfolg. Warum sie von Shakespeares Zeitgenossen mit Begeisterung aufgenommen wurde und mit ihrer pointierten Schilderung alltäglicher Verhaltensweisen noch heute Gültigkeit beanspruchen darf, ist nun – mit einem Vorwort und erläuternden Kommentaren versehen – zum ersten Mal in deutscher Sprache nachzulesen.

This guidebook contains route descriptions for 42 day walks in the Dartmoor National Park and its surrounding area. The walks all vary in length from 2 to 12 miles long and each route is graded by difficulty from easy to moderate or hard. Most of the walks are circular with a few longer routes that are linear and involve ascents of tors.
