E. A. Abbott. A Shakespearean Grammar. (English) search this work
Though most widely known today as the author of Flatland, a Victorian social satire and introduction to higher-dimensional geometry, Edwin Abbott Abbott (1838 - 1926) was also for twenty-five years the tireless headmaster of The City of London School, where he wrote A Shakespearian Grammar to help students understand the differences between Elizabethan and modern syntax. It is still the most complete work on the subject.

Richard Hakluyt. The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation. (English) search this work
Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations comprises a startlingly thorough and vivid record of English commerce, travel, and international politics through the Sixteenth Century. Hakluyt (1552?-1616) spent years putting together a compendium of all major English journeys "made by sea or overland to the remote & farthest distant quarters of the Earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeares," resulting in this treasure-trove of primary sources. The Principal Navigations includes first-hand accounts of voyages to the New World, the Holy Land, Russia, Africa, and Asia; a lengthy description of the English fleet's encounter with the Spanish Armada; correspondence, patents, and passports written by English monarchs and their foreign counterparts (including the Sophy of Persia, the Emperor of Russia, and the "Great Turke"); ship manifestos; trade documents (including ordinances and instructions on how to conduct trade in foreign ports); personal letters; and much more. This is both an invaluable scholarly resource and an excellent choice for casual browsing.

James I. The Political Works of James I. Charles Howard McIlwain. (English) search this work
When King James VI of Scotland took the English throne in 1603, a range of political possibilities and challenges erupted. Facing urgent questions about a changing national identity, the role of religion in the nation-state, and the proper derivation of kingly authority, James had to negotiate between dangerous extremes. These writings lend valuable insight into English politics during the period between the height of the Renaissance and the devastating Civil Wars only forty years later. This collection of James's most important political works includes Basilikon Doron, James's letter to his son instructing him in the art of kingship, as well as a number of texts in which James vigorously asserts his views on the role of religion in the life of the nation; speeches here include James's comments on the potential unification of England and Scotland and his response to the Guy Fawkes Rebellion. Editor Charles Howard McIlwain also provides a lengthy introduction which contextualizes and summarizes many of the period's most important political debates.
