  • Creating a Commonplace Book (CPB) (20% of the Final Grade)
    Creating a Commonplace Book (CPB) (20% of the Final Grade) This semester, you will keep your own commonplace book (CPB). What is a commonplace book? (Figure 1) (FIGURE 1: DR. KENNEDY’S COMMONPLACE BOOK. (TYPED TRANSCRIPTION CAN BE ACCESSED HERE.)) 1 During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one of the most important tools of a reader or writer was a commonplace book. Peter Beal, leading expert on English manuscript studies, defines a commonplace book as “a manuscript book in which quotations or passages from reading matter, precepts, proverbs and aphorisms, useful rhetorical figures or exemplary phrasing, words and ideas, or other notes and memoranda are entered for ready reference under general subject headings.” For example, here is a short poem copied into a Commonplace Book that we may file under the heading of “Friendship” (Figure 2): * A TRUE FRIEND MUST LIKE A PRIVY BE TO EASE HIS FRIEND AT HIS NECESSITY. A TRUE FRIEND MUST LIKE A CHIMNEY BE HOTTEST IN WINTER OF ADVERSITY. (FIGURE 2: AN (UNATTRIBUTED) EPIGRAM WRITTEN IN THE COMMONPLACE BOOK OF MATTHEW DAY (1574-1661, MAYOR OF WINDSOR) [MANUSCRIPT], CA. 1650. (FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY, V.A.160, 4||5). The Renaissance commonplace book allowed readers to actively engage with their texts, choosing and curating passages that spoke to them, and to transcribe those passages into journals under organized headings. Early modern readers marked up their texts, underlining favorite lines, writing marginal notes (such as attribution tags), using asterisks and manicules (these cute little pointing hand signs (☞)) to point out favorite passages, cross-listing page numbers, crossing out text they did not like, writing lists, practicing their signature, drawing obscene images, etc.

  • Common Place: Rereading 'Nation' in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta
    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.

  • Elizabeth I's Commonplace Book
    Duncan 1 Educating a Princess: Elizabeth I’s Commonplace Book by © Moira Duncan A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Department of English Memorial University of Newfoundland July 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland Duncan 2 Abstract Elizabeth I (1558-1603) received an exceptional humanist education in a time when female learning primarily meant moral and domestic training. Elizabeth’s instruction combined elements of both the privately oriented domestic education of women and the more public rhetorical training reserved primarily for men. Her educational model is most clearly shown in the commonplace book associated with her, which constituted a vital component and indispensable tool in her training. In 1563 a commonplace book, entitled Precationes Priuate, Regiae E[lizabethae]. R[eginae] (STC 7576.7) was published under Elizabeth’s name by the London printer Thomas Purfoot. Aside from Precationes, or private prayers, the composite volume also includes two other works: Sententiae, a collection of sayings, and Regna Quibis Imperat Elizabeta Regina Angliae, a detailed description of the administrative bodies of her realm. Not only are these elements typically found in both male and female commonplace books, but they also reveal her unique princely education shaped by both feminine and masculine rhetorical instruction. The same gendered duality that is present in her commonplace book is also detectable in her speeches. In fact, Elizabeth applied the same compositional techniques associated with her commonplace book in her speeches written for both her subjects and parliament.

  • The Commonplace Book Assignment 2020
    The commonplace book / verse miscellany assignment So you’re going to college. You’ll leave it behind one day. When you do, do you expect to take anything tangible with you that you will continue to use, maybe something that you make here? Artists will take their portfolios. The good engineers will take the robots they make. In the period of literary history that we’re studying in this course, college students made books full of quotes and notes from their reading, organized under subject headings that identify their topics. Imagine filling a multi-subject notebook, divided by tabs, or a Trapper Keeper with the best passages you’ve ever read, organized according to subject, so that you could easily find and quote them again. They also copied their favorite poems and song lyrics, producing the early- modern equivalent of mixed tapes and iPods. And many of them kept adding to their manuscript books, and making new ones like them, after earning their degrees. This course requires you to make the same sort of book. In addition to reading what early modern English people wrote, it requires you to read, and use what you read, rather like they did. Students should start making their books right away, even if only by folding a small stack of standard copier paper like so. Students who would prefer to make a finer book might start with instructions such as these and a trip to the art supply store. In any case, students will earn their grades based on the contents, not the appearance, of their books.

  • ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: the Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin
    ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: The Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. It is widely acknowledged that W. H. Auden became a Christian in about 1940, but relatively little critical attention has been paid to Auden‟s theology, much less to the particular theological sources of Auden‟s faith. Auden read widely in theology, and one of his earliest and most important theological influences on his poetry and prose is Saint Augustine of Hippo. This dissertation explains the Augustinian origin of several crucial but often misunderstood features of Auden‟s work. They are, briefly, the nature of evil as privation of good; the affirmation of all existence, and especially the physical world and the human body, as intrinsically good; the difficult aspiration to the fusion of eros and agape in the concept of Christian charity; and the status of poetry as subject to both aesthetic and moral criteria. Auden had already been attracted to similar ideas in Lawrence, Blake, Freud, and Marx, but those thinkers‟ common insistence on the importance of physical existence took on new significance with Auden‟s acceptance of the Incarnation as an historical reality. For both Auden and Augustine, the Incarnation was proof that the physical world is redeemable. Auden recognized that if neither the physical world nor the human body are intrinsically evil, then the physical desires of the body, such as eros, the self-interested survival instinct, cannot in themselves be intrinsically evil. The conflict between eros and agape, or altruistic love, is not a Manichean struggle of darkness against light, but a struggle for appropriate placement in a hierarchy of values, and Auden derived several ideas about Christian charity from Augustine.

  • Do You Keep a Journal AP Lang 2017
    Christine Traxler 1 “Do you keep a Journal?”1 Exploring the Interconnectedness between Reading, Writing, Creativity, Ideas, and Living Deliberately Christine Traxler Woodinville High School Woodinville, WA Participant in the 2017 NEH Landmarks of AMerican History Week “Living and Writing Deliberately: The Concord Landscapes and Legacy of Henry Thoreau.” PrograM Director: Jayne Gordon. Introduction For many years I have asked all of my high school students to keep a Writer’s Notebook. Eager as ever to please, they want to know what to write in it, and so every year I suggest types of writing (descriptive, rhetorical analysis of a text, reactions to ideas, rants, raves, explanations, how-to narrative, original song lyrics or shots at poetry, etc.) and give them specific prompts (emulate a particularly dense and delicious sentence, describe a weird conversation you overheard today, etc.). I also ask students to use the Notebook as a Commonplace Book, a place to keep quote nuggets and ideas from readings they do not want to forget. These are all fine ideas and certainly get kids moving on their writing – a half page a day, every day. Students typically find the writing to be laborious at first in that daily writing is new and they have all sorts of preconceived notions about what they should be writing, or even more importantly who should be writing (not them, for they are not professional writers!). But by the end of the year, most thank me for the opportunity to express themselves, to think aloud, to record a year’s worth of ideas, to discover new ways of discovering themselves.

Stockton, Jr., on its flyleaf, bequeathing it to him after her death “in token of my affection and gratitude to him & his for their unvariable kindness and tenderness to me.” She had begun copying poems into the volume, a bulky gilt-edged blank book, as a young bride in 1812; she and her family and friends had continued to do so into the 1850s. The book’s 200 leaves were mostly full by the time she bequeathed it to her nephew Robert, more than fifty years after she began it. As Mary Harrison turned the pages of her collection, she held the record not only of decades’ worth of her own reading, but of a web of family relationships that her com- monplace book both commemorated and helped to keep alive. It contained a trove of published poems selected, shared, and re-copied by Mary and her sisters, including several poems about or by members of the Stockton family (including, in a few cases, Mary herself).
