About book&volume
book&volume is an independently owned and
operated Australian online bookshop. We obtain our books from an array
of publishers and suppliers and supply them worldwide.
Our main focus is classic English literature of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods - and the periods themselves. book&volume
is probably the only Australian bookseller that exclusively focuses on
an era that produced an inspired endeavour in writing, performance,
music, philosophy, cartography, science, etc, that directly affects and
connects to our present day.
Our list covers Elizabethan writers, literature & general society and a wide selection of relevant educational titles.
book&volumealso has a considerable general literature catalogue and can assist with wide-ranging customer queries.
book&volume is based in picturesque Birregurra, on the banks of the
Barwon River in south-west Victoria, Australia. Although
book&volume is a virtual bookshop (we don't have a shop front) we
do actually stock a goodly number of the books displayed on our
website.
Shakespeare is a predominant hook for us. But the endurance of his work
and the constant debate over his life and authorship means we cannot -
and do not wish to - present him in isolation: he needs to be placed in
context, along with his literary contemporaries - Marlowe, Jonson,
Middleton, Beaumont, Webster, Bacon, Fletcher, Lyly etc - in the world in which they lived.
We want to present it all – from Elizabeth I,
the New World, espionage, witches and magic, to literature, theatre,
poetry, science and medicine, and religious conflict. We want excite
you with debate, criticism, history, biography, politics, educational
material, drama, humour and the sheer delight that comes from examining
Shakespeare and Co.
book&volume also
imports and distributes of a select range of U.S. and U.K. published
titles.
