  • Printing Identities: Studies in Social Bibliography and Social
    PRINTING IDENTITIES: STUDIES IN SOCIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL NETWORKS IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND’S PRINT CULTURE by WARD RISVOLD (Under the Direction of Fredric Dolezal) ABSTRACT Over the last century scholars have privileged the “author” or have privileged the text, when trying to interpret the meaning of a literary artifact. Even more historically minded scholars have tended to focus on the context or the cultural milieu surrounding the author or a text, but scholars rarely consider the semiotic value of the printers and the booksellers listed on a title page. My dissertation addresses this absence in literary scholarship by examining the relationships or social networks that connect the printed artifacts to the people involved in their production. My argument asserts that early modern English writers, printers, and booksellers often shared ideological beliefs and that these shared beliefs can tell us something about the text they produced. My method combines traditional archival research with the technology used in Social Network Analysis. By running large databases, such as Early English Books Online, English Short Title Catalogue, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, through social network software, my research was able to visualize large and small social networks that might otherwise go unnoticed when using traditional methods. My dissertation avers that the printer of a text matters to our understanding of the literary work. For instance, I argue that Edmund Spenser employs Hugh Singleton, a known radical Protestant and Marian exile, to print the Shepheardes Calender, because Spenser wants to align himself with the Protestant faction with whom Singleton is associated. Through an examination of Singleton’s network, a much more politically radical poem begins to emerge.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis is an examination of Alexander Pope’s relationships with his patrons, the primary purpose of which is to discover the ways in which patronage mattered to him. Much of the thesis is a study of Pope’s relationships with two particular patrons: Richard Boyle, 3'"^ Earl of Burlington (1695-1753) and Allen Bathurst, T* Baron and later 1®‘ Earl Bathurst (1684-1775). It argues that these two were his most important patrons. Taking Pope’s relationships with these two men as case studies, it examines his claim that his relationships with his patrons were governed not only by need but by friendship. Chapter 1, ‘Living “among the Great”: the Historical Background to Pope’s Relationships with his Patrons’, consists of six sections.
