Publications April 12.Indd 2011 REPORT V&A RESEARCH MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Both as a value and an activity, research is central to the mission of the V&A. The generation of new ideas, knowledge and narratives about art and design – always grounded in our own collections – is a key objective in all our work. The V&A Research Report 2011 records outputs in all formats, from books and articles to web-based projects, exhibitions, and media appearances. These range widely across the various intellectual disciplines pertinent to the museum’s collections, and across the Collections, Conservation and Learning departments. Here you will find listings of scholarly journal articles on specific objects and artists, but also far-reaching studies of art and design across multiple centuries and places. As a global museum, we encourage our staff to think broadly, and this Report bears testimony to their success in doing just that. Collaborations are crucial to the V&A’s ongoing success, and the museum maintains formal relations with many external partners, including universities, companies, foundations, and other museums. The Research Report lists these various affiliations, which collectively demonstrate the interconnectedness of current object-based research. Entries in Italian, French, Spanish, German and Japanese, as well as activities in China, India, and the Middle East emphasise the international nature and reach of the work of the V&A.

  • The Letters of John Forster to Thomas Carlyle
    “The supreme comfort of your presence”: The Letters of John Forster to Thomas Carlyle, PART 1 TRANSCRIBED AND ANNOTATED BY KENNETH J. FIELDING AND DAVID R. SORENSEN n 1998 the late Professor Kenneth J. Fielding began to transcribe letters of John Forster to Thomas Carlyle that Iwere held by the Armstrong Browning Library in Waco, Texas. The Forster materials formed part of the extensive Harlan collection of books and manuscripts, which had been donated to the Library by the scholars, editors, and bibliophiles Aurelia Brooks Harlan (1899–1991) and her husband, J. Lee Harlan, Jr. Aurelia Brooks Harlan was the daughter of Samuel Palmer Brooks (1863–1931), president of Baylor University from 1902–31, and his wife Mattie Sims Brooks (1868–1940). Fielding was unable to complete the transcriptions, and following his death in 2005, David R. Sorensen inherited Fielding’s complete set of photocopies of the Forster-Carlyle correspondence. The editors are grateful to Rita S. Patteson, Director of the Armstrong Browning Library, for generously granting permission to publish transcriptions of these letters in numbers 31 and 32 of the Carlyle Studies Annual.

  • V&A R Esearch R Eport 2013
    2013 REPORT V&A RESEARCH MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Research is a core activity of the V&A, and it grows out of the Museum’s original commitment to the arts and sciences that shape the world around us. This Annual Research Report lists the outputs of staff from the calendar year 2013. It does more than document the remarkable productivity of individual experts throughout the Museum: it testifies to the thriving research culture that joins them together in one of the world’s most important centres for the preservation and interpretation of art and artefacts. The V&A plays a leading role in binding together the fields of art, design and performance; conservation and collections management; and object-led, museum-based learning. We let the world know about our work through many different routes, which reach as large and varied an audience as possible. Here you will find the kinds of items you might expect – exhibition catalogues, scholarly monographs and articles in specialist journals – but also television and radio programmes, films, public lectures and digital resources. Some of this research is developed through our close relationships with universities and other educational institutions: the V&A is one of the UK’s only national museums with an academic URL (vam.ac.uk), and it is home to the world’s oldest postgraduate programme in the history of design, which today forms part of our longstanding collaboration with the Royal College of Art. The V&A is international both in its collections and its outlook. In this Report you will notice entries in French, Spanish, German and Russian as well as English, and activities in places as diverse as Ukraine, Libya and Colombia.

  • Reading Dr. Johnson: Reception and Representation (1750–1960)
    READING DR. JOHNSON: RECEPTION AND REPRESENTATION (1750–1960) By PHILIP WARD JONES A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The thesis examines the response of imaginative writers to Samuel Johnson; arguing that these authors’ refashioning of Johnson involved a profoundly creative process. Chapter 1 examines Johnson’s own self-accounting, revealing an instability of self-imaging, linked to the different textual forms employed by Johnson. Chapter 2 argues that James Boswell’s biography theatricalised the representation of Johnson, introducing Boswell into the drama of Johnson’s self-reflexivity. Chapter 3 focuses on the Romantics, arguing that William Hazlitt misread Johnson’s criticism as mechanical, while Lord Byron drew upon Johnson’s authority to challenge Romantic orthodoxies. Chapter 4 focuses on the Victorians, arguing that Thomas Carlyle focused on Johnson’s powers of self-creation, epitomised in action; while Matthew Arnold’s abridged version of The Lives of the English Poets, helped tutor a new reading public.
