Texts in Context
"Texts in Context is a rich and unusual collection of over 400 British Library texts. ... These 'everyday' texts illustrate the many histories -- social, cultural, economic, political, technical -- within which language is used and produced. [It includes] a whole range of characters: cooks, clerks, publishers, tradesmen, lexicographers, sea captains, smugglers and quack doctors, to name a few." Find introductory essays and book excerpts. (Audio not available.) From the British Library.
