Bibliography of fishing and angling materials at the Folger

The Folger holds a number of early texts related to fishing and angling, from early "how-to" manuals or "gentlemen sportsmen's" guides to devotional tracts.

The most famous of these books in the English tradition, Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, is represented in the Folger collection in its fourth edition of 1668. Parts of it are ultimately indebted to a short Treatyse of Fysshynge with an Angle, attributed to Dame Juliana Berners, which was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1496 and added to the Boke of Saint Albans that had been first printed a decade earlier but likely drew on a much longer tradition. Walton also reused material from the anonymous 1577 tract The Arte of Angling (attributed to William Samuel) and many other predecessors.

Researchers may want to consider approaching these texts from a social history angle (where did fishing "rank" in terms of leisure pursuits and how did this vary by location?), social network analysis (just who was in Izaak Walton's circle of friends?), a political history angle (why were so many seventeenth-century angling writers Royalists and clergy?), or even gender history (Hannah Wolley's Accomplish'd Ladies Delight includes fishing secrets along with recipes). Of course, a number of early sermons expanded on the "fishers of men" passage in the Book of Matthew, like Dr John Rawlinson's sermon of 1609, William Worship's sermon of 1612, and Jerome Phillip's sermon of 1623.)

Many angling manuals and books that aim for a gentry audience were printed with or semi-separately bound after other texts that concern hunting or agricultural pursuits.

All entries below are listed chronologically within their categories.
