Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture LITERARY COTERIES AND THE MAKING OF MODERN PRINT CULTURE Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture, 1740–1790 offers the first study of manuscript-producing coteries as an integral element of eighteenth-century Britain’s literary culture. As a corrective to literary histories assuming that the dominance of print meant the demise of a vital scribal culture, the book profiles four interrelated and influential coteries, focusing on each group’s deployment of traditional scribal practices, on key individuals who served as bridges between networks, and on the esthetic and cultural work performed by the group. Literary Coteries also explores points of intersection between coteries and the print trade, whether in the form of individuals who straddled the two cultures; publishing events in which the two media regimes collaborated or came into conflict; literary conventions adapted from manuscript practice to serve the ends of print; or simply poetry hand-copied from magazines. Together, these instances demon- strate how scribal modes shaped modern literary production. betty a. schellenberg is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Canada, where she is a founding member of the Print Culture group and winner of a Dean’s Medal for Excellence.

Regularly called upon by Britain’s leading statesmen, and most significantly the Younger Pitt, to advise them on the best course of British economic development, in a large variety of writings he speculated on the consequences of North American independence for the global economy and for international relations; upon the complicated relations between small and large states; and on the related issue of whether low wage costs in poor countries might always erode the competitive advantage of richer nations, thereby establishing perpetual cycles of rise and decline.

  • The Chapbooks and Broadsides of James Chalmers III, Printer in Aberdeen: Some Re-Discoveries and Initial Observations on His Woodcuts
    The Chapbooks and Broadsides of James Chalmers III, Printer in Aberdeen: Some Re-discoveries and Initial Observations on His Woodcuts IAIN BEAVAN BACKGROUND This essay consists of two related elements. First, an empirical discussion of recent evidence to emerge for chapbook and broadside production in Aberdeen. Second, a consideration of some features of the woodcuts used by James Chalmers III and other chapbook printers, which, in the present context, provide the central evidential theme of this investigation. Previous and contemporary scholars have argued that the north-east of Scotland has the richest ballad and popular song tradition in Britain, and that an analysis of Francis Child’s still unsurpassed and authoritative fi ve-volume compilation, The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, shows that ‘one-third of Child’s Scottish texts and almost one-third of his A-texts [his base or ‘prime’ texts, from which variants may be identifi ed] come from Aberdeenshire’.1 Moreover, ‘of some 10,000 variants of Lowland Scottish songs recorded by the School of Scottish Studies [of Edinburgh University] … several thousand are from the Aberdeen area alone’.2 From the early eighteenth century, popular lowland Scottish song had found itself expressed in printed form, early appearances having been James Watson’s Choice Collection of Comic and Serious Scots Poems, 3 parts (Edinburgh, 1706–11), followed by the Edinburgh Miscellany (Edinburgh, 1720) and Allan Ramsay’s Tea-table Miscellany (Edinburgh, 1723).3 From the mid-eighteenth century also, Scottish chapbook texts appeared in ever increasing numbers, given over to different sub-genres, including histories, prophecies, humorous stories and collections of songs (often called garlands).

  • Aspects of His London Practice
    Medical History, 1986, 30: 303-321. WILLIAM HEBERDEN THE ELDER (1710-1801): ASPECTS OF HIS LONDON PRACTICE by ERNEST HEBERDEN* Although William Heberden was one ofthe most distinguished clinicians ofhis day, no attempt has previously been made to bring together the available material, scattered in various published works and unpublished MSS, which could throw light on his London practice. I attempt in this article to find some answers to three groups of questions: first, what were the factors that Heberden had to weigh up before exchanging the security of his life in Cambridge for the hazards of private practice in the metropolis, and what special qualifications had he acquired that contributed to his success? Second, what did his patients (and others) have to say about his ministrations and about the more general problems of health and sickness? Finally, what does Heberden himself tell us about his attitude to his patients, and how was this attitude modulated by his views on contemporary theories and procedures? Before calling our witnesses, we must summarize the facts about Heberden's background and the course ofhis career at Cambridge. Son ofa Southwark innkeeper (who died when he was seven), he attended the parish grammar school of St Saviour-an Elizabethan foundation providing free education, heavily weighted on the side of the Classics, which might open doors for advancement in the learned professions to the brighter sons of the poor. With the backing of an imaginative headmaster and an exhibition worth £7 per annum,1 Heberden was admitted to St John's College, Cambridge, as a sizar at the age of fourteen.

Scope of COMSt (ABa) 1.1. The background of COMSt Work with manuscripts in both an academic, i.e. scholarly, and a non-academic context involves a huge number of aspects to be considered. It has not been a goal of the COMSt project to work on a theoretical definition of the manuscript, namely to define what a manuscript is. Instead of such a theoretical and com- parative typological approach, the object of COMSt was, right from the beginning, manuscript studies as a conglomeration of already existing disciplines spread among various fields that were to be put in dialogue with each other. For the sake of convenience, a recent definition might be provided as a starting point here, according to which a ‘book’ is ‘a transportable object intended for hosting, sharing and transmitting immediately readable contents in an ordered and lasting way’ (Andrist et al. 2013, 46, my translation). The focus of the COMSt handbook, however, is on a peculiar subtype of the ‘book’, namely handwritten book forms of the codex area, including the horizontal and vertical roll and rotulus, all of them seen in their historical development in a definite historical and geographical area here styled ‘oriental’ (see be- low).

  • Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain
    Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain by Catherine Fleming A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Fleming 2018 Translation, Reputation, and Authorship in Eighteenth-Century Britain Catherine Fleming Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis explores the reputation-building strategies which shaped eighteenth-century translation practices by examining authors of both translations and original works whose lives and writing span the long eighteenth century. Recent studies in translation have often focused on the way in which adaptation shapes the reception of a foreign work, questioning the assumptions and cultural influences which become visible in the process of transformation. My research adds a new dimension to the emerging scholarship on translation by examining how foreign texts empower their English translators, offering opportunities for authors to establish themselves within a literary community. Translation, adaptation, and revision allow writers to set up advantageous comparisons to other authors, times, and literary milieux and to create a product which benefits from the cachet of foreignness and the authority implied by a pre-existing audience, successful reception history, and the standing of the original author. I argue that John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Eliza Haywood, and Elizabeth Carter integrate this legitimizing process into their conscious attempts at self-fashioning as they work with existing texts to demonstrate creative and compositional skills, establish kinship to canonical authors, and both ii construct and insert themselves within a literary canon, exercising a unique form of control over their contemporary reputation.

  • The Woodcut in Early Printed Books. Part I: the Title Page (1477-1549)
    THE ART OF THE WOODCUT IN EARLY PRINTED BOOKS I. The Title Page: Borders & Devices 1477 - 1549 Maggs Bros. Ltd. 48 Bedford Square London WC1B 3DR Maggs Bros. Ltd. are pleased to present the first instalment of a series of short lists on the subject of woodcut illustration in the early printed book. These lists are intended as a broad survey of the use and evolution of the form across Europe from the fifteenth century onwards. So ubiquitous in early printing as to be frequently overlooked, woodcuts were employed in multitudinous and versatile ways by printers; from their own devices to decorative borders, geometric diagrams to illustrative vignettes, simple, decorative ornaments to sumptuous illustrations. For this first instalment (which will be in two parts, arranged chronologically), we begin at the beginning, with the title page. The earliest extant use of a title on a separate page, preceding the text, was in 1463; thirteen years later Ratdolt, in Venice, printed the first decorated title border in woodcut (seeItem 1; Cole, 305). After Ratdolt, we see the variety of styles that developed across Europe in the decades before 1550. ‘The first thirty years of the sixteenth century saw the greatest efflorescence in the history of the woodcut, both in single sheet designs and in book illustrations’ (Griffith, 18). That is evident here. We move from the crude and copied cuts of Florence, and particularly Venice’s thriving popular print market (Items 5, 9, 13, 20), to the elaborate designs of Graf (Item 6), Holbein (11) and Woensam (15) in Germany and Oronce Finé (12) in France.
