Alice in Busi-Land: the reciprocal relation between text and paratext
No full textWhile Genette places translations among the paratexts of the original work, something that Tahir-Gürçaglar (2002: 46) rightly takes exception to as it 'disempowers the translator' and relegates the TT to a derivative status, I will argue that it is the ST that in fact becomes one of the many paratextual elements for the subsequent translation and that each successive translation adds to what Genette terms the épitexte.
The field is vast and extremely varied: my investigation will be limited to Italian translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, analysing a variety of paratextual elements and their influence on the reception Carroll's work in Italy (the text under Fascism, as published for children, for the crossover market, as an object of academic study, as a publishing phenomenon, etc.) but with specific reference to Aldo Busi's translation (1988), one of the most commercially successful, judged by many to be every bit as controversial as Busi himself, establishing how the reputation of the translator becomes a paratextual element in itself, informing the reading of the TT. Busi, an author in his own right, is widely regarded as an 'enfant terrible' of the Italian literary scene, having had to clear his name in a trial for obscenity and being implicated in numerous provocative outpourings on national television including one infamous episode that was interpreted by many as a defence of paedophilia, arguably adding to the layers of interpretation of the much-discussed ambiguous nature of Lewis Carroll's associations with young children.
Some of these episodes pre-date the publication of Busi's translation, others are subsequent: I shall analyse, therefore, how paratextual elements such as TV appearances, interviews, scandals, reputations can inform a text whether they be antérieur or ultérieur to use Genette's terminology

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

Musings on the Birth of the Savior Jesus Christ
No full textIn this essay, Kristine Wardle Frederickson muses about “the babe born in Bethlehem,” and who he was — and is — in consideration of those who nurtured, loved, and welcomed the infant Jehovah to Earth. Certain women played critical roles in preparing him for his infinite and eternal Atonement, and that preparation began long before Jesus came to Earth. Four women stand out as devoted mentors, disciples, and witnesses of Jesus Christ’s mission, and of his sublime perfection even on that first Christmas day: Heavenly Mother, Mary, Elisabeth, and Anna. At Christmastime, their witnesses are worthy of deep contemplation as they reinforce the majesty and glory of Jesus Christ, who condescended to enter mortality as an innocent baby, under humble circumstances. Carefully nurtured and loved, he lived a perfect life, pointed the way to salvation, and sacrificed his life that all might live
