{"title":"Reforming the \"Art Preservative\": Nineteenth-Century British Printing Manuals and the Discourse of Design","authors":"J. Horrocks","doi":"10.1353/bh.2022.0012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/bh.2022.0012","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Discussions of nineteenth-century letterpress design typically follow a narrative of loss and restoration: the explosion of typographic materials and machines made possible by industrialization led to a decline in the visual quality of letterpress production, which was reversed only at the end of the century by William Morris and the advent of modern graphic design. Many specimens of Victorian letterpress printing—especially job printing, which was constrained by fewer conventions than book or newspaper printing—seem to confirm this narrative. Nineteenth-century British printing manuals, however, often depicted the practice of display composition not as declining or fallen, but as entering an exhilarating moment of reformation. In the printing manuals I examine here, authors attempted to guide this reformation by offering printers a rudimentary theory of letterpress page design, one based largely on the tenets of Victorian design reform. Design reform, begun in the 1830s in response to fears that British industrial commodities were being outsold by better-designed foreign products, established graphic principles for designers and created a body of theoretical literature that was remediated by printers looking for a fixed definition of visual excellence upon which letterpress design could be premised. While modern viewers might question the design principles underlying much \"artistic\" job printing of the late-Victorian era, the aesthetic rules explained in printing manuals of the time do much to turn what can sometimes appear to be a bewildering profusion of archaic visual elements back into a legible architecture of the page.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"351 - 382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46890959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Negotiating Intimacy in British Romantic Friendship Albums","authors":"Renée Bryzik","doi":"10.1353/bh.2022.0011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/bh.2022.0011","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article explores the integral role that the practice of friendship album-keeping played in British intellectual networks at the turn of the nineteenth century. The friendship album's draw among contemporaries, and deterrent to researchers, is that the album's intimacy is achieved through the practice's refusal to consider its legibility beyond its immediate circle. Instead, each album's significance resides in the affective residue of lived experiences that is expressed differently in each album. Friendship albums engage primarily with contemporary topics and literature and thus are a part of Romantic-era album culture, including manuscript miscellany albums and gift books; but contributors convey friendship through personalized acts of archiving, including tracing and copying, as well as literary and artistic imitations, adaptation, and invention that use early modern literary and social networking traditions for inspiration. In all cases, the friendship album's casual approach to archiving insists that outsiders remain uncertain of social dynamics, contributor intentions, and conversations that lay beyond the album pages. Contributions discussed include the original writing of Amelia Opie, Hannah More, and the young Felicia Browne Hemans, as well as amateur contributors, many of whose entries and even albums remain unsigned and unattributed.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"325 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49299977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Computing Book Parts with EEBO-TCP","authors":"James Misson, D. Singh","doi":"10.1353/bh.2022.0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/bh.2022.0018","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This article begins by considering the difference between two kinds of bibliographical study: quantitative bibliography, which treats books as data, and 'anatomical' bibliography, which considers the paratextual and modular components of a book. Because of their methodological differences, it is difficult to reconcile the two approaches, so anatomical bibliography is rarely practiced on a computational scale. We propose a method of doing so using the markup added to early modern English texts by the Early English Books Online-Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP). Keyers have not only transcribed texts, but described them too, adding XML tags that replicate the structure of the book. Among other things, these tags mark 'divisions' in the text, all of which have been assigned 'types' that describe parts of the book with terms such as 'preface,' or 'errata'. The article assesses this dataset by enumerating the division types and evaluating their consistency and scope. It reviews their previous applications, but argues that their full potential has not yet been realised, and offer suggestions for doing so. These suggestions are based on our work on early printed addresses to the reader, and we finish by describing our own method of studying division types with computational methods.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"503 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44016892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet they have almost entirely forgotten the importance of the second-most popular pamphleteer of the era, Anglican Bishop Jonathan Shipley. This essay recovers Shipley's significance while also suggesting that his works paved the way for Paine's explosive success. Shipley's two bestselling pamphlets have been forgotten because they were more pragmatic and less ideological than Paine's writings. Focused on economics and policy rather than principle, Shipley's works do not neatly fit within nationalist narratives of the American Revolution. Examining these pamphlets, and the ways that their receptions diverged over time, provides insight onto the complex relationships among print, politics, and nation in early America.","PeriodicalId":43753,"journal":{"name":"Book History","volume":"25 1","pages":"297 - 324"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46108142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
