  • Redeeming the Truth
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Laura Suzanne York 2013 © Copyright by Laura Suzanne York 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Redeeming the Truth: Robert Morden and the Marketing of Authority in Early World Atlases by Laura Suzanne York Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Muriel C. McClendon, Chair By its very nature as a “book of the world”—a product simultaneously artistic and intellectual—the world atlas of the seventeenth century promoted a totalizing global view designed to inform, educate, and delight readers by describing the entire world through science and imagination, mathematics and wonder. Yet early modern atlas makers faced two important challenges to commercial success. First, there were many similar products available from competitors at home and abroad. Secondly, they faced consumer skepticism about the authority of any work claiming to describe the entire world, in the period before standards of publishing credibility were established, and before the transition from trust in premodern geographic authorities to trust in modern authorities was complete. ii This study argues that commercial world atlas compilers of London and Paris strove to meet these challenges through marketing strategies of authorial self-presentation designed to promote their authority to create a trustworthy world atlas. It identifies and examines several key personas that, deployed through atlas texts and portraits, together formed a self-presentation asserting the atlas producer’s cultural authority.

  • & Circulating Libraries
    Parasols & Gloves & Broches & Circulating Libraries MARY MARGARET BENSON Northup Lrbrary, Linfield College, McMinnville, OR 97128 "Charlotte was to go . & to buy new Parasols, new Gloves, & new Broches, for her sisters & herself at the Library, which Mr. P. was anxiously wishing to support" (Sanditon 374). What kind of library was this circulating library at Sanditon? It is certainly not like any library familiar to most contemporary readers. Not only could one purchase "so many pretty Temptations" (S 390), but Mrs. Whitby, the "librarian," seems as likely to refer one to sources for Chamber- Horses as to a copy of Camilla. Before the eighteenth century, libraries in England were strictly for those who were associated with universities or other learned societies, or for those wealthy enough to collect and house their own books. While we don't see the former sort of library in the works of Jane Austen, we certainly see the latter. The library at Pemberley is surely magnificent-even though we have Miss Bingley's word for it. As Mr. Darcy says, "'It ought to be good . it has been the work of many generations"' (P&P 38). One can imagine that Mr. Knightley, too, would have an excellent library, though perhaps his collection would be of less antiquity. However, for those who could not afford a "gentleman's" library or even for those gentlefolk who were in town or at a spa for a short time, the circulating library filled the gap. Circulating libraries were part of the popular culture of the day, and references to them are found throughout Jane Austen.

  • The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855
    HISTORY’S IMPRINT: THE COLONIAL BOOK AND THE WRITING OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 1790-1855 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay E.M. DiCuirci, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Elizabeth Hewitt, Adviser Jared Gardner Susan Williams Copyright by Lindsay Erin Marks DiCuirci 2010 ABSTRACT “History’s Imprint: The Colonial Book and the Writing of American History, 1790-1855” investigates the role that reprinted colonial texts played in the development of historical consciousness in nineteenth-century America. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, antiquarians and historians began to make a concerted effort to amass and preserve an American archive of manuscript and print material, in addition to other artifacts and “curiosities” from the colonial period. Publishers and editors also began to prepare new editions of colonial texts for publication, introducing nineteenth-century readers to these historical artifacts for the first time. My dissertation considers the role of antiquarian collecting and historical publishing—the reprinting of colonial texts—in the production of popular historical narratives. I study the competing narratives of America’s colonial origins that emerged between 1790 and 1855 as a result of this new commitment to historicism and antiquarianism. I argue that the acts of selecting, editing, and reprinting were ideologically charged as these colonial texts were introduced to new audiences. Instead of functioning as pure reproductions of colonial books, these texts were used to advocate specific religious, political, and cultural positions in the nineteenth century.

  • Lloyd Noble His Daughter, Anne Noble Brown, Speaks of His Generosity and Love for Oklahoma and Its People
    Lloyd Noble His daughter, Anne Noble Brown, speaks of his generosity and love for Oklahoma and its people. Chapter 1 – 1:18 Introduction Announcer: Lloyd Noble was only 53 years old when he died, but in that short life span he accomplished so much. He left behind the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation to carry out his mission. Lloyd Noble attended but never graduated from Oklahoma University, yet he served 15 years on OU’s Board of Regents. He felt a strong football program would be a good public relations tool for the school and he was instrumental in the hiring of coach Bud Wilkinson. The Lloyd Noble Center in Norman is well known for basketball and other popular events. Lloyd Noble’s first love was land, its management and preservation. He offered assistance to farmers and ranchers through The Noble Foundation. As part of this interview, you will hear Mr. Noble talk about his respect for the rural people of Oklahoma. You will also hear the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Oklahoman Carl Albert, speak about the work of The Noble Foundation. Listen now to the daughter of Lloyd Noble, Ann Noble Brown as she shares her memories of her father. His influence on our state is enormous. VoicesofOklahoma. com is happy to share the story of Lloyd Noble thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, preserving Oklahoma’s legacy one voice at a time.

  • REFLECTIONS on SERVANT-LEADERSHIP and the UNITED KINGDOM Interview with John Noble and Ralph Lewis — LARRY C
    REFLECTIONS ON SERVANT-LEADERSHIP AND THE UNITED KINGDOM Interview with John Noble and Ralph Lewis — LARRY C. SPEARS [John Noble and Ralph Lewis co-founded the Greenleaf Centre- United Kingdom in 1997. Both Ralph and John have a passion for developing servant-leaders and a strong belief in its potential for benefiting organizational life. For most of those years, John Noble served as director and Ralph Lewis served as board chair of Greenleaf-U.K. In November 2019, I sat down with them and conducted the following interview to capture their thoughts on servant-leadership, and their role in encouraging others in the U.K. and beyond, over the past 25 years. —Larry Spears] Larry: What were the markers in your life, the people or events that helped shape your thinking? Can you name a few? Ralph: There are an awful lot of them. I think the main thing was growing up in Uganda. I was the son of an English father. My mother was a Polish refugee and was treated rudely by the English colonialists even though she could speak five languages and was incredibly intelligent. That gave me a very strong feeling of being on the side of the underdog and also resentment against those who treated other people badly-- for whatever reason. And then when I 41 The International Journal of Servant-Leadership, 2020, vol, 14, issue 1, 41-80 came to England which I did when I was 12; it was a whole new world. I think I mostly was surprised by the lack of community in England.
