    Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club

    No full text
    MPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him. This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

    L’attuale scenario economico è caratterizzato da una sempre più forte necessità di innovazione di prodotto/processo. Di conseguenza, per rimanere competitive, le aziende non possono semplicemente limitarsi a rispettare gli obblighi normativi previsti dal “command” e ad offrire prodotti di qualità, ma è opportuno che adottino anche iniziative di salvaguardia ambientale nell’ottica dello sviluppo sostenibile. ITLAS S.p.A. è un’azienda veneta che produce principalmente pavimenti in legno. Per soddisfare parte del suo fabbisogno energetico utilizza un impianto fotovoltaico di tipo grid-connected che le permette di ridurre notevolmente sia le emissioni di gas serra, che quelle di sostanze che danneggiano lo strato di ozono. L’azienda è certificata PEFC-COC e FSC-COC e questo garantisce l’uso di materie prime provenienti da foreste gestite in modo sostenibile. L’analisi del ciclo di vita (LCA), condotta su due dei prodotti aziendali, ha messo in luce come il listone Assi del Cansiglio, nella finitura Faggio la Malga, che utilizza legname locale, sia ambientalmente migliore rispetto al listone Tavole del Piave, nella finitura Rovere del Borgo, che utilizza invece legname proveniente da foreste francesi. L’analisi LCA ha favorito l’implementazione del sistema di gestione ambientale richiesto dalla norma ISO 14001:2004, consentendo all’azienda di ottenere recentemente la relativa certificazione. Queste iniziative hanno permesso ad ITLAS S.p.A. di rimanere leader nel settore legno-arredo, anche in una fase di difficoltà economica come quella attuale
