Excerpt from Letter-Book of Gabriel Harvey: A. D. 1573 1580 On turning back to page 58, we find Harvey's rough drafts of a correspondence he held with Edmund Spenser in 1579. Whether these letters ever really passed between the friends, or whether they are the mere creatures of Harvey's imagination, it is now quite impossible to decide. It is certain they have never been printed before in their entirety, although here and there pieces of them are to be found among Harvey's published works. The first letter is from Harvey, written at Cambridge on the tenth day or an um. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Few articles in the humanities have had the impact of Lisa Jardine and Anthony Grafton’s seminal ‘Studied for Action’ (1990), a study of the reading practices of Elizabethan polymath and prolific annotator Gabriel Harvey. Their excavation of the setting, methods and ambitions of Harvey’s encounters with his books ignited the History of Reading, an interdisciplinary field which quickly became one of the most exciting corners of the scholarly cosmos. A generation inspired by the model of Harvey fanned out across the world’s libraries and archives, seeking to reveal the many creative, unexpected and curious ways that individuals throughout history responded to texts, and how these interpretations in turn illuminate past worlds. Three decades on, Harvey’s example and Jardine’s work remain central to cutting-edge scholarship in the History of Reading. By uniting ‘Studied for Action’ with published and unpublished studies on Harvey by Jardine, Grafton and the scholars they have influenced, this collection provides a unique lens on the place of marginalia in textual, intellectual and cultural history. The chapters capture subsequent work on Harvey and map the fields opened by Jardine and Grafton’s original article, collectively offering a posthumous tribute to Lisa Jardine and an authoritative overview of the History of Reading.
