Cave Beck - the Universal Character
The 'Universal Character' by Cave Beck, M.A., schoolmaster of Ipswich, was printed in 1657. It was a very early attempt at a language "by which all the Nations in the World may understand one another". His new language was simple in design, but more than a little odd in execution. Every page of his 8,000-word dictionary holds little gems of long-forgotten English - 'adust', 'an ouche collar' ,'a gammot or incision knife', 'the brayne tunnel'; not forgetting of course 'the night mare - a disease'.Despite its quirkiness - and the slapdash efforts of the printer - Beck's Universal Character is still considered important as oneof the first of its kind in Europe.The work has now been transcribed from the original publication, complete with all the author's oversights and the printer's mistakes. A foreword places Beck's work in context, explaining its structure and contents. Anyone interested in the 17th century will find here a gold-mine of words and underlying thoughts

Colonial Mediascapes
In colonial North and South America, print was only one way of communicating. Information in various forms flowed across the boundaries between indigenous groups and early imperial settlements. Natives and newcomers made speeches, exchanged gifts, invented gestures, and inscribed their intentions on paper, bark, skins, and many other kinds of surfaces. No one method of conveying meaning was privileged, and written texts often relied on nonwritten modes of communication. Colonial Mediascapes examines how textual and nontextual literatures interacted in colonial North and South America. Extending the textual foundations of early American literary history, the editors bring a wide range of media to the attention of scholars and show how struggles over modes of communication intersected with conflicts over religion, politics, race, and gender. This collection of essays by major historians, anthropologists, and literary scholars demonstrates that the European settlement of the Americas and European interaction with Native peoples were shaped just as much by communication challenges as by traditional concerns such as religion, economics, and resources.
