  • 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).

  • Directory to Western Printed Heritage Collections
    Directory to western printed heritage collections A. Background to the collections B. Major named Collections of rare books C. Surveys of Early and Rare Books by Place of Origin D. Surveys of Special Collections by Format A. Background to the Collections A1. Introduction. The Library was founded in 1973 (British Library Act 1972). A number of existing collections were transferred into its care at that time, the most extensive of which were those of the British Museum’s Department of Printed Books (including the National Reference Library of Science and Invention), Department of Mss, and Department Oriental Mss and Printed Books. Other collections of rare and special materials have been added subsequently, most notably the India Office Library & Records in 1982. The Library today holds over 150 million collection items, including books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, printed music, maps, mss, archival records, sound recordings, postage stamps, electronic titles, and archived websites; this figure includes an estimated 4.1 million books, pamphlets and periodical titles printed in the West from the 15th cent to the 19th cent. The breadth of collecting in terms of subjects, dates, languages, and geographical provenance has always been a feature of collection building policies. A wide range of heritage materials continues to be acquired from Britain and overseas through purchase and donation. The Library’s early printed materials feature prominently in a range of digital facsimile products, e.g. Early English Books Online, Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Early Music Online, Nineteenth Century Collections Online, and Google Books. Direct links to facsimiles are increasingly provided from the Library’s website, particularly from the main catalogues.

ABOUT THE WORK: Since the first time I read Bartleby, The Scrivener, by Melville, I was both puzzled and fascinated by the constraints the scrivener imposes on himself. So, during a course on experimental writing at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto (a session dedicated to Oulipo), I employed a formal constraint to the short story.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Studies in Scottish Literature by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. BURNS AND CHAPBOOKS: A BIBLIOGRAPHER’S TWILIGHT ZONE Iain Beavan The simple phrase, “Burns and chapbooks” conceals a cluster of interwoven problems, both practical and theoretical. Moreover, most of what can currently be said with any degree of confidence are statements of the achingly obvious, so that the best approach to be adopted may be not to attempt any rounded view, but simply to offer a series of more specific observations. Some initial, provisional identification of chapbooks containing Burns’s compositions might provide a reasonable foundation, but even that seemingly straightforward enterprise is laden both with assumptions, and questions of definition. Researchers need to make a start on ascertaining the number of chapbooks that can be reasonably identified as containing material attributable to Burns. The number so far reached, 358 (excluding those of Brash & Reid, and Stewart & Meikle) spread over a century from the 1780s to the 1880s, can only represent the number that are most readily identifiable (Table 1).

    This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in The Library , following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version, M. O. Grenby. Chapbooks, Children, and Children's Literature. The Library: Transactions of the Bibliographical Society 2007 , 8(3), 277-303. is available online at: http://library.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/8/3/277 Chapbooks, Children and Children's Literature M. O. Grenby It is generally held to be the case that chapbooks pre-dated what we would recognise as children's literature. It is also frequently assumed that, before a literature of their own became available, children often read these chapbooks – indeed, that they formed an important part of the market for this product. These are conjectures that this essay will explore. A more controversial supposition is that what we understand as children's literature somehow grew out of the chapbook tradition, perhaps developing in deliberate opposition to it. Clearly this is an absolutely vital question for any understanding of the genesis of modern children's literature. These are also important points to decide if we are to arrive at a full sense of how its consumers understood the chapbook. What follows, then, is organised around two lines of enquiry: did children routinely use chapbooks, and what was the relationship between the chapbook tradition and a literature definitely intended for children. As is always the case when examining interconnected and overlapping varieties of popular literature, it will be necessary to begin with some attempts at working definitions. Children’s literature is not a straightforward category.

In particular it considers how both the royalist and parliamentarian pamphleteers constructed and promoted a hegemonic, patriarchal definition of manhood amongst their male supporters in order to encourage them to fight for either king or parliament.
