Abstract

Abstract:Francis Stainforth (1797–1866), a British Anglican curate, owned the largest private library of Anglophone women’s writing in the nineteenth century, comprised of works published between 1546 and 1866. This article argues that a study of Stainforth’s library catalog, and the thousands of rarely studied works and authors within it, recovers women’s book history from a historical perspective. Further, digital humanities (DH) methods, like mapping, are especially useful for studying and recovering women’s book history at scale, as demonstrated by The Stainforth Library of Women’s Writing project.

在斯坦福斯女性写作图书馆中定位女性图书历史

摘要:英国圣公会副牧师弗朗西斯·斯坦福斯(Francis Stainforth, 1797-1866)拥有19世纪最大的私人英语女性写作图书馆，收藏了1546年至1866年间出版的作品。本文认为，对斯坦福斯图书馆目录的研究，以及其中数千部很少被研究的作品和作者，可以从历史的角度恢复女性图书的历史。此外，数字人文学科(DH)方法，如地图绘制，对于大规模研究和恢复女性书籍历史特别有用，正如斯坦福大学女性写作图书馆项目所证明的那样。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
