He is Director of theArts and Humanities Research Council’s MagnaCarta Project.Magna CartaMaking and LegacyNicholas VincentMagna Carta is arguably the most famousdocument in world history. 2015 marks its 800thanniversary. Yet, until relatively recently, it wasunknown how many versions of the documentsurvive, the means by which they were distributed,or the relationship between the charter of1215 and Magna Carta as it was transmitted insubsequent issues.From Oxford to London, and from Washingtonto Canberra, more than thirty Magna Cartas aredisplayed in this book, each of them claiming tobe an ‘original’ version of the charter granted byKing John or reissued by his son or grandson. Howdid this situation arise? Precisely how manyoriginal Magna Cartas are there, and in whichparticular archives can they be seen? Were theywritten by the same or by many different scribes?How were they broadcast to the people atlarge? What differences are there between theirappearance or their texts?1

NEW TITLESThis generously illustrated book also examines theafterlife of these three images, as memorials, inadvertising and in graphic art, together with theiradaptation in later commemorative statues: allevidence of a continuing desire to put a face toone of the most famous names in literature.128 pages, 220 x 173 mm40 colour illustrationsISBN: 978 1 85124 405 8Paperback, £14.99June 2015Katherine Duncan-Jones is an Emeritus Fellowof Somerville College, Oxford. She has writtenbiographies of Sir Philip Sidney (1991) andShakespeare (2001; revised edition, 2010); andhas edited Shakespeare’s Sonnets (1997) and(with H.R. Woudhuysen) the same writer’s Poems(2007), both for the Arden Shakespeare series.Portraits of ShakespeareKatherine Duncan-JonesWithin Shakespeare’s lifetime there was alreadysome curiosity about what the writer of suchbrilliant poems, sonnets and plays looked like.Yet like so much else about him, Shakespeare’sappearance is mysterious.Why is it so difficult to find images of him thatwere definitely made during his life? Whichimages are most likely to have been made bythose close to Shakespeare, and why do thesediffer from each other? Also, why do newly‘discovered’ images claimed as representations ofthe playwright emerge with such regularity?Shakespeare scholar Katherine Duncan-Jonesexamines these questions, beginning with ananalysis of the tradition of the ‘author portrait’before, during, and after Shakespeare’s life. Sheprovides a detailed critique of the three imagesof Shakespeare likeliest to derive from life-timeportrayals: the bust in Holy Trinity Church,Stratford-upon-Avon; the ‘Droeshout engraving’from the First Folio edition of Shakespeare’s playspublished in 1623; and the ‘Chandos portrait’,painted in oil on canvas in the early seventeenthcentury. Through a fresh exploration of theevidence and groundbreaking research, sheidentifies a plausible new candidate for the painterof ‘Chandos’. This also throws new light on thelast years of Shakespeare’s life.6

This fully illustrated book explores thesequestions, surveying Shakespeare’s world throughcontemporary maps, geographical texts, paintingsand drawings. The results are intriguing andsometimes surprising. Why should Love’s Labour’sLost be set in the Pyrenean kingdom of Navarre?Was the Forest of Arden really in Warwickshire?Why do two utterly different plays like TheComedy of Errors and Pericles focus stronglyon ancient Ephesus? Where was Illyria? Did theMerry Wives have to live in Windsor? Why didShakespeare sometimes shift the settings of theplays from those he found in his literary sources?208 pages, 250 x 210 mm110 colour illustrationsISBN: 978 1 85124 257 3Paperback, £25.00June 2015New TitlesMapping Shakespeare’sWorldPeter WhitfieldThe locations of Shakespeare’s plays range fromGreece, Turkey and Syria to England, and theyrange in time from 1000 BCE to the early Tudor age.He never set a play explicitly in Elizabethan London,which he and his audience inhabited, but alwaysin places remote in space or time. How much didhe – and his contemporaries – know about theforeign cities where the plays took place? Whatexpectations did an audience have if the curtainrose on a drama which claimed to take place inVerona, Elsinore, Alexandria or ancient Troy?It has always been easy to say that whereverthe plays are set, Shakespeare was really writingabout human psychology and human nature, andthat the settings are irrelevant. This book takes adifferent view, showing that many of his locationsmay have had resonances which an Elizabethanaudience would pick up and understand, andit shows how significant the geographical andhistorical background of the plays could be.Peter Whitfield writes on history, literary criticismand poetry.

New Bodleian: The Makingof the Weston LibraryEdited by the Bodleian LibraryIn association with Wilkinson EyreArchitects and Mace LimitedNew TitlesIn 1934 Sir Giles Gilbert Scott began work ondesigns for a substantial new library buildingopposite the Old Bodleian Library site in BroadStreet, Oxford in order to provide much-neededspace for the growing numbers of books housedin the library and the number of readers usingthem. Opened in 1946 (having been delayed bythe Second World War), for seventy years the NewBodleian served the academic community andreaders visiting Oxford, housing 3.5 million items.Scott’s innovative designs meant that the NewBodleian became a Grade II-listed building in 2003.In 2009, thanks to a generous bequest from theGarfield Weston Foundation, plans got underwayfor a complete refurbishment of the building tomeet the needs of twenty-first-century researchand the Bodleian’s expanding collections. Thearchitects Wilkinson Eyre were appointed todevelop the project adapting the Grade II listedbuilding for its new use as a special collectionslibrary while keeping the façade intact. Their briefwas to redesign reading rooms for the consultationof rare books, manuscripts, archives, music andmaps, provide new research facilities (includingsupport for digital scholarship), new teachingfacilities, improved conservation laboratories, stateof-the-artstorage for Bodleian Libraries’ valuablespecial collections and enhanced public accessthrough a new entrance hall and exhibition space.This book tells the story of how the vision for theWeston Library was realized. Like the project itself,it represents a collaboration between clients andconsultants as they place the project in context,describing in detail the many architectural, academic,curatorial and heritage issues addressed throughoutthe process, and the challenges of meeting the needsof an internationally renowned, four-hundred-yearoldinstitution in the twenty-first century.Contributors: Bernard Antieul, formerly Director,hurleypalmerflatt; Rob Bevan, Architecture Critic,Evening Standard; Jim Eyre, Director, WilkinsonEyre Architects; Chris Fletcher, Keeper of SpecialCollections, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford;Emma Keyte (Editor), Founder, Free:; Toby Kirtley,Bodleian Libraries Estates Projects Officer, Universityof Oxford; Michael Morrison, Partner, Purcell; JayOsgerby, Director, Barber Osgerby; Richard Ovenden,Bodley’s Librarian, University of Oxford; GeoffTurner, Associate Director, Wilkinson Eyre Architects;Geoffrey Tyack, Fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford;Keith Vance, M & E Manager, Mace Limited.224 pages, 250 x 250 mm100 colour illustrationsISBN: 978 1 85124 374 7Paperback, £30.00June 201511
