Recent Studies of Illustrations and Prints, Including Cartography, 1987 Studies of Authorship in the Long 18th Century, c. 1988-2007 This bibliography covers that fuzzy intellectual focus called "authorship" and also the more distinct categories of attribution, book reviews, collaboration, copyright and literary property, plagiarism, profits, patronage, and subscriptions. Even the "distinct categories" gave me some trouble, for I wished to include studies of copyright and subscriptions that had a focus on the author (composer in some cases) rather than the publisher. I have a lengthy bibliography of "publishers and publishing" that I'm preparing for BIBSITE, and I wish to place studies that are more concerned with publishers under that file. I've also excluded those studies of topics like subscription that are focused on readers (like Donald D. Eddy and J. D. Fleeman's "A Preliminary Handlist of Books to which Dr. Samuel Johnson Subscribed," Studies in Bibliography, 46 (1993), 187-221, or on the work itself or its genre, such as Elisabel Larriba's analysis of 8500 subscribers to 18 periodicals in Le Public de la presse en Espagne à la fin du XVIIIe siècle (1781-1808) (Paris, Champion, 1998). I have included a few biographical studies particularly stressing authorship as a trade, there being too many biographies to include them in general (e.g., 1991 saw publication of Paul Hammond's John Dryden: A Literary Life, Joseph McMinn's Jonathan Swift: A Literary Life and James Sambrook's James Thomson, 1700-1748: A Life). Like editions of correspondence (often the best source on authorship but also omitted here), biographies aren't likely to be overlooked. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004) is immensely valuable, as for its details on authors' finances. Also important but left out are author bibliographies and also bio-bibliographical sourcebooks for authors, more than half of which concern women authors. Some material relevant to writing as a profession I have directed to a bibliography of studies of censorship and libel. An earlier, shorter version of this bibliography appeared in The East-Central Intelligencer, n.s. 18, no. 2 (May 2004), 69-93. Like the earlier version, this revision is limited to major Western European (& American) languages, and I apologize for mistakes and orthographic errors involving foreign titles. In citing the reviews of books, I have often employed the MLA bibliography's abbreviations of common journals (but I've written those out in listing articles). In imprints, I've clipped mention of "Cranbury, NJ: Associated U. Presses" from titles from Delaware and others in the group. My list is drawn from my own library work and searching through the dozen or so major annual bibliographies, acknowledged in my former bibliographies. In checking for items overlooked, I found much I had missed in The Eighteenth-Century: A Current Bibliography (ECCB) and The Scriblerian. I also checked briefly RLIN, WorldCat, and JSTOR, but found these searches not a profitable use of my time. In a future revision I will gratefully add citations for omitted publications brought to my attention. James E.

Peter the Great and His Changing Identity Senior History Honors Thesis May 11, 2016 Emiley Pagrabs Pagrabs 1 Introduction Well aware of the perception that foreigners held of him, Peter the Great would never apologize for his nationality or his country. A product of his upbringing, Peter did have some qualities that many foreigners criticized as barbaric and harsh. Said Peter: They say that I am cruel; that is what foreigners think of me, but who are they to judge? They do not know what the situation was at the beginning of my reign, and how many were opposed to my plans, and brought about the failure of projects which would have been of great benefit to my country obliging me to arm myself with great severity; but I have never been cruel…I have always asked for the cooperation of those of my subjects in whom I have perceived intelligence and patriotism, and who, agreeing with my views, were ready to support them.1 Essentially, Peter I was simply a Russian.

Inevitably linked to Milton’s Restoration reputation as spokesman for the Protectorate and regicides, Paradise Lost’s reception in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries is marked by a series of approaches and retreats, repressions and recoveries. This dissertation examines the critical interventions made by P.H. (traditionally identified as Patrick Hume), John Dennis, Joseph Addison, and Richard Bentley into the reception history of a poem burdened by political and religious baggage. It seeks to illuminate the manner in which these earliest commentators sought to separate Milton’s politics from his poem, rendering the poem “safe” by removing it from contemporary political discourse.

  • The Age of Louis XIV"
    Marc Serge Rivière, "The Age of Louis XIV" Marc Serge Rivière THE AGE OF LOUIS XIV: VOLTAIRE'S COMING OF AGE AS A PHILOSOPHER-HISTORIAN In 1994, scholars from all over the world met at congresses in Paris, Oxford, Melbourne and other centres of learning to celebrate the tercentenary of Voltaire's birth. Although there is some doubt as to the exact date of his birth, we know that he was baptized in November 1694. It is accordingly fitting now to reflect on Voltaire's achievements as a historian, for he regarded himself first as a dramatist, next as a historian and last as an essayist and a Conteur, even if he is fondly remembered nowadays as the author of Candide. Voltaire's documentation for his historical works was impressive. In this.respect, The Age of Louis XIV (1751) has as sound a basis as could be expected in its day, and its author has been deemed to be the father of modern "scientific" history. 1 What emerges from a study of the sources utilised for The Age of Louis XIV is that, although Voltaire scorned erudite working habits, in so far as he excluded documents such as extracts of treatises and gave few references, he clearly took his duty as a historian with a degree of seriousness equalled amongst his French contemporaries only by Montesquieu. He was fully aware that his com- petence in historiography would be judged first and foremost on the reliability of his evidence and on the degree of accuracy which he would achieve. Although The Age of Louis XIV did not occupy him exclusively, he sought for about twenty years or so (1732-1751), to add to the data and material which he had begun to gather as early as the late 1720s.

A propósito de la Histoire de Charles XII Voltaire historian. About the Histoire de Charles XII Adrián Ratto* Resumen: La Histoire de Charles XII, roi de Suède (1731) es un texto a menudo desvalorizado por los especialistas en los trabajos históricos e historiográficos de Voltaire, en la medida en que ven en él una obra menor, que se encontraría más cerca de la Henriade, el poema épico que el filósofo había publicado en 1728 en honor a Enrique IV, que de sus grandes trabajos históricos, el Siècle de Louis XIV (1751) y el Essai sur les mœurs et l’esprit des nations (1756). El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que la Histoire de Charles XII anticipa, a pesar de ser uno de los primeros escritos históricos de Voltaire, el método que utilizaría a partir de los años 40 en sus obras mayores. Además, el texto pone de relieve la existencia de cierta distancia entre el programa que el filósofo se propone ejecutar en el escrito y su materialización.

  • Voltaire Candide
    VOLTAIRE CANDIDE Introduction Chronology French – English parallel text Notes Glossary Further Reading and Links [The word NOTE in the French text indicates a crux of translation that is explored further in the Notes that follow the text. Voltaire at the age of 24, by Catherine Lusurier, after Nicolas de Largillière’s painting.

In both cases, click on NOTE or the star to be taken to the relevant discussion, and then on RETURN to come back to the text.] © tclt.org.uk 2010 INTRODUCTION There can be few, if any, writers whose achievement has been profound and various enough as to result in their name being connected with an entire literary period, with one of the stations on the Paris Métro, with a celebrated American musical, with a famous racehorse, and with a Gothic rock band. The writer in question is, of course, Voltaire, who over the course of a long life from 1694 to 1778 came to dominate not only French but also European culture, to the extent that the 18th century Age of Enlightenment is often, and justifiably, referred to as the Age of Voltaire. Even at first meeting, what is at once apparent is the astonishing breadth of his cultural interests and literary skills. He wrote prolifically, producing works in practically every literary form: major poems, essays, between fifty and sixty plays, works of history and philosophy and science, political tracts against slavery and social injustice, in addition to more than 20,000 letters and countless pamphlets.

    The Labyrinth of Tanka by M. Kei Previously appeared in Modern English Tanka 7, Spring, 2008. Copyright 2008 by M. Kei. All rights reserved. The Labyrinth of Tanka M. Kei Introduction For the last two years I have wrestled with the question of defining tanka. What is this elusive thing we call ‘the tanka spirit’ and why do we resort to such nebulous terms to explain what it is we write? What shapes our intuition so that we have a gut level reaction that tells us whether a poem is or isn’t tanka? Can something be tanka even if the poet has no idea what tanka is, or lived in a different time and culture with no exposure to Japanese literature? Most definitions of tanka begin with a reference to the Japanese form, quoting 5-7-5-7-7 syllables, onji, sound units, morae, or whatever term the author wishes to use to describe the thing that the Japanese count, but rarely is any attention given to Japanese variations from those counts. It is generally accepted that Japanese poetry and even prose ‘naturally’ falls into patterns of 5-7, but no understanding of when and why this pattern developed. Lately most Anglophone poets have come to understand that Japanese is a very different language from English and therefore tanka must be adapted to the English language. A very common rubric used to define tanka these days is “five phrases on five lines.” Yet, the Japanese wrote their tanka on one, two, and sometimes three lines. The ‘fiveness’ of tanka is well entrenched in English, so much so that little attention has been given to understanding exactly what a ‘phrase’ is, and equally little attention given to how larger structures within a tanka function.
