[Binder's Collection: Anna Pease]
No full textBound compilation of sheet music compiled by Anna M. Pease, from the collection of Thurman Morrison. All works were published in London, with multiple items published by Duff and Hodgson, Chappell, Robert Cocks & Co., and Joseph Williams. The volume features a variety of composers, including two works each by George Linley and Frank Mori. An additional set of three songs is attributed to the unnamed author of "Will you love me then as now," surmised to be Charles William Glover, though only "The rich man's bride" verifies as one of his works. For topics covered, two works are concerned with the month of May, and three others with Ireland (one of which, "The May Dew," overlaps in both areas)
Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch 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
On characterization of (E,M)-structures in procategories,
No full textMardesic introduced the concept of pro-reflective (dense) subcategory of a category C in order to define a categorical shape theory for topological spaces. Following the results obtained by the author introducing the (E,M)-factorisation structure on C w.r.t ProC, it is given a characterisation of those classes M for which there exists the class E in the ProC morphisms such that the pair (E,M) is a factorisation structure on C w.r.t. Pro
<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′-Dibutyloxamide
No full textN,N′-dibutyloxamide (1) was prepared by reacting diethyloxalate with n-butylamine in ethyl alcohol and characterized by microanalytical techniques, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopy. Crystals suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) were obtained from an acetonitrile solution of 1, and the structural characterization showed the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions
