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

[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)

La arquitectura invisible de Anna Karénina de Leo Tolstoi
No full textThis article seeks to uncover the architecture of the design used by Leo Tolstoy in his novel Anna Karénina. As Tolstoy himself said, it is a network woven not of words or isolated concepts, but of indirectly expressed episodes, actions and sensations that bring to light the essence of its content. This architecture enabled the author to narrate, in an almost invisible way, the actions of his characters, relying among other aspects on an intense internal dialogism through the interaction of multiple voices and points of view of the seven characters comprising the novel. Of course, Anna is the central figure on which the relationships converge.El artículo pretende desvelar la arquitectura del diseño empleado por Leo Tolstoi en su novela Anna Karénina. Se trata, según el mismo Tolstoi, de una red entretejida, no con palabras o conceptos aislados, sino con episodios, acciones y sensaciones que, indirectamente expresados, ponen al descubierto la esencia de su contenido. Esta arquitectura permitió al autor relacionar, de manera casi invisible, las acciones de los protagonistas, valiéndose entre otros aspectos, de un agudo dialogismo interno mediante la interacción de múltiples voces y puntos de vista de los siete caracteres que integran la novela. Anna es, por supuesto, el punto central en el que las relaciones convergen.L’article sur Anna Karenina de Léon Tolstoï, prétend dévoiler l’architecture de la construction utilisée par l’auteur dans son roman. Il s’agit selon Tolstoï lui-même, d’un réseau entrecroisé, non pas par des mots ou des concepts isolés, mais par des épisodes, des actions et des sensations qui, exprimés de manièreindirecte, découvrent l’essence de son contenu. Cette architecture a permis à l’auteur de mettre en rapport, de manière presque invisible, les actions des protagonistes, en se servant, entre autres, de beaucoup de dialogues internes grâce à l’interaction de multiples voix et de points de vue des sept personnages qui forment le roman. Anna est, évidemment, le point central vers lequel convergent les relations
Anna Fickesdotter Bülow
No full textAnna Fickesdotter Bülow (1440s–1519) was the abbess of Vadstena Abbey, a Birgittine monastery in Sweden, in the early sixteenth century. She came from an aristocratic family of German and Danish origin and entered Vadstena Abbey in 1462 to become a Birgittine nun. She was elected abbess of Vadstena Abbey in 1501 and remained in this office until her death in 1519. Anna Fickesdotter was described as a learned woman in the Diarium Vadstenense, the monastery’s memorial book. She contributed to the monastery’s literary production as author, translator, and supervisor of the sisters’ manuscript production. Among her translations are the Legend of Saint Joachim and the Revelations of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, which were part of a compilation of texts intended for the sisters’ table reading. Around 1515, she also wrote Chronicon Genealogicum, one of the earliest genealogical chronicles in medieval Sweden, which was printed in 1718. The chronicle was written on behalf of the bishop of Linköping and contains information about Anna Fickesdotter’s own family history, personal memories, as well as a survey of kinship relations within the Swedish aristocracy mainly from the fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries.</p
The Making of a London Author
No full text“The Making of a London Author” will expand further on Joyce’s interactions with Cambridge-based institutions such as C. K. Ogden’s Orthological Institute and London-based ones, including the publisher Faber and Faber and Eliot’s work there. Scholarship has largely overlooked Eliot’s ambitious plans for the international availability of Joyce’s work through London: the promotion of the Anna Livia Plurabelle record, the Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere pamphlets, and the contract for the long-pending Finnegans Wake. The chapter will delineate Joyce’s close collaborations with Ogden and Eliot to promote his work through divergent media alongside Herbert Hughes’ presentation of the Anna Livia Plurabelle record in London’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. The impact of such strategies on other publishing outlets including the Times newspaper will also be assessed.</p
Anna Howard Shaw and Women’s History
No full textThis chapter reviews Anna Howard Shaw's life and accomplishments, and presents some final thoughts. The author says that over the years of researching Anna Howard Shaw, she was driven by a quest to understand not only the life of this remarkable woman but also how women's history transformed this transgressive, irreverent pioneering woman into an incompetent and conservative leader. She argues that denying the immensity of Shaw's contributions to woman suffrage demands ignoring a great deal of documentation. Although one book and one view can hardly answer all the questions concerning Shaw's place in U.S. and woman suffrage history, hopefully this biography, by bringing new sources and new evidence into the discussion and by reframing the issues, has kept the inquiry open.</p
