Abstract

Abstract This essay reconstructs a collection of books given by Alexander Pope to the Blount family of Mapledurham in Oxfordshire. The collection includes both books that were presented by the author to the Blounts and also books from his personal library that were bequeathed to Martha Blount in his will. In 1951 more than thirty of the most important books in the collection were sold to the firm of William H. Robinson Ltd. and subsequently dispersed. This essay traces those books and provides their present locations in a finding list. Paying close attention to these books reveals the degree to which Pope was interested not only in the printed form of his writings, but also in their broader bibliographical presentation.

《教皇和布朗特一家:梅普尔达勒姆宫旧书

摘要本文重建了亚历山大·波普送给牛津郡梅普勒姆布朗特家族的一本藏书。这些藏书包括作者赠送给布朗特夫妇的书，以及他在遗嘱中遗赠给玛莎布朗特的个人图书馆的书。1951年，藏书中30多本最重要的书被卖给了威廉·h·罗宾逊有限公司，随后被分散了。这篇文章追溯了这些书，并在一个查找列表中提供了它们现在的位置。仔细观察这些书就会发现，蒲柏不仅对他作品的印刷形式感兴趣，而且对它们更广泛的书目形式也感兴趣。

期刊介绍： The Library is the journal of the Bibliographical Society. For more than a hundred years it has been the pre-eminent UK scholarly journal for the study of bibliography and of the role of the book in history. All aspects of descriptive, analytical, textual and historical bibliography come within its scope, including the history of the production, distribution and reception of books, both manuscript and printed; the history of collecting and of libraries; paper, printing types, book illustration, and binding; and the transmission of texts and their authenticity.
