    Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature Is One of the Two Greatest Strengths of the Rosenbach's Libr

    Irish Authors Collections Guide 18 August 2020 English Literature is one of the two greatest strengths of the Rosenbach’s library collections (the other being American history). What we usually call English Literature is more precisely the English-language literature of Great Britain, Ireland, and surrounding islands. Some of the greatest writers in the English language have been Irish. Dr. Rosenbach certainly recognized this, and although we don't know that he had a special interest in Irish writers as such, it means that he did collect a number of them. His interest was chiefly in pre-20th-century literature, so apart from James Joyce there are few recent writers represented. Although they are not segregated by country of origin on the Rosenbach shelves, this guide highlights Irish authors as a particular sub-set of English-language authors. The guide is arranged in alphabetical order by author’s last name, and in the instances of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde, the list is further broken down by collections category. Throughout this guide, all objects owned by Dr. Rosenbach are marked with an asterisk (*). Those marked with double (**) are part of Philip Rosenbach’s gift to the Foundation on January 12, 1953, consisting partly of objects from Dr. Rosenbach’s estate. This guide will be updated periodically to reflect new acquisitions and further cataloging of the Rosenbach collections. Objects acquired since 2014 are marked with a “+”. For further information on any item listed on this collections guide, please contact us at https://rosenbach.org/research/make-an-inquiry/.

  • The Dust Jacket

    The Dust Jacket

    The dust jacket (sometimes book jacket, dust wrapper or dust cover) of a book is the detach- able outer cover, usually made of paper and printed with text and illustrations. This outer cover has folded flaps that hold it to the front and back book covers. Often the back panel or flaps are printed with biographical information about the author, a summary of the book from the publisher (known as a blurb) and puffs of critical praise from celebrities or authorities in the book’s subject area. In addition to its promotional role, the dust jacket protects the book covers from damage. However, since it is itself relatively fragile, and since dust jackets have practical, aesthetic, and sometimes financial value, the jacket may in turn be wrapped in another jacket, usually transparent, especially if the book is a library volume meant for lending out to patrons. Book Cover Layout You are working on your cover design right now. The focus of the project is the conceptual develop- ment of the cover idea, but you also need to consider and create the overall layout of your jacket design. The layout of the entire piece would need to be arranged like this: FLAP BACK COVER SPINE FRONT COVER FLAP How will you carry the theme of your design through the other panels? You may refer to existing jacket design for ideas on how to present the information needed on each panel, but here are some basics: Spine: Book Title, Author’s Name, publisher name Front Cover: book title, author’s name Some jacket designs include a synopsis on the back cover; some continue the illustration across the back and include the story summary on the inside flap covers.

    Finding the parts of an eBook This reading activity works with most ebook titles. Analysis: students will explore an ebook to analyze the various components of the text. Ebooks, like printed books, share various components. Some of the parts of a book are more commonly found in nonfiction (glossaries, for example), while others might be more heavily featured in fiction (dedications, for example). It’s important for students as readers to be able to identify the parts of a book and understand the purposes they serve—no matter what format the book is in, print or electronic. In some books, a page might serve the purposes of one or more of the components listed below. A dedication might appear on the copyright page, or the glossary and index might both fit on one page. Have a discussion with the class about the parts of a book, and then have students identify the various components using the activity page. You may wish to model finding these book parts with the class before asking students to find them independently. You could do so with an ebook, using a computer and projector, or with a print book. Parts of a book: Cover and spine: the outside of the book. On a print book, the spine is the skinny part between the front and back covers. End pages: pages at the very beginning and very end of the book that are intentionally left blank. To avoid confusion in ebooks, these pages sometimes have text written on them—“This page intentionally left blank.” Front matter and back matter: the stuff that appears before and after the main text, or body, of the book.

    DUST JACKETS (And How to Keep Dust Off of Them) by James Dawson the Dust Jacket Is the Paper Cover That Wraps Around a Book

    DUST JACKETS (and how to keep dust off of them) by James Dawson The dust jacket is the paper cover that wraps around a book to protect it. Many people strip off these jackets and throw them away. Bad idea! As with toy collecting, where the box the toy came in is worth more than the toy itself, a nice dust jacket can be the major part of the value of a book. Dust jackets came into use in the late 1800 s. People who collect Shakespeare first folios don t have to worry about them. The first dust jackets were just a plain piece of paper which protected cloth bound books from scuffs and scrapes until sold. Leather bound books don t have them. Sometimes the jacket had simple lettering telling the title and author, and sometimes it was blank; occasionally these blank jackets had a circular or oval opening in them through which the lettering on the book s spine would be visible. As you might guess, very few of these early dust jackets have survived. Publishers soon found out that jackets were a great selling tool, and by the early 1900 s they started to come with artwork on their front panel, sometimes in color and often by famous artists. The jackets could also give short excerpts from the book. It s difficult to buy a book without knowing what it is about and in the days before dust jackets, this information would be on the title page. This is why you often see very wordy subtitles on early books.

Warren Dartmouth College The Dartmouth Brut Conservation, Authenticity, Dissemination In this photo essay, we reflect on our respective encounters with the 4object now known as Dartmouth College, Rauner Special Collections Library, MS 003183. Deborah Howe describes the process that turned a fragile object into a functional codex. Michelle Warren considers how this process intersects with the practices of medieval studies and digital humani- ties. Together, we trace the kinds of collaborations that orient material his- tory toward the future. First Impressions [Deborah Howe] My first impression of theBrut was one of awe and in- trigue. It is one of the oldest items to pass across my bench and I revered it for its historic provenance and enduring nature. The condition of the binding reflected its age as evidenced by various damages throughout, including visible signs of water and insect damage. The parchment pages were heavily soiled and the gutters were filled with dirt and debris. Folds of the exterior folios were weak and had losses, and several of the inside text pages had tears and surface degradation. The sewing threads of the first and last quires barely held the fragile pages together, and with each successive viewing this sewing became weaker and more insubstan- tial.

    ABSTRACT THE HISTORY OF BOOK JACKET DESIGN & ITS CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Lindsay B. Larimore Director: Virginia Green Book jacket designs act as historical snapsHots of the visual culture prevalent during their creation through the use of typography, shapes, style of imagery and overall mood. Illustration also played a significant role in development of the book jacket as an art and advertising medium, although illustration now struggles to maintain its prior prestige in the digitally dominant 21st century. By studying these historical examples and examining the development of the medium, I created three book jacket designs as a practical demonstration.
