The foundation for studies of Chaucer’s reception is Caroline Spurgeon’s classic Five Hundred Years of Chaucer Criticism and Allusion, which gathers quotations concerning him from the late medieval period through the end of the nineteenth century.1 In more recent years, book historians have turned to evidence from medieval manuscripts and early printed books. Alexandra Gillespie provides a thoughtful study of how printers crafted the idea of Chaucer as Author through their decisions about the presentation of his texts.2 Alison Wiggins considers how readers used their early printed books by examining the annotations found in her survey of fi fty-four surviving black-letter copies.3 This essay will consider how individuals took printed books and re-crafted them in ways that refl ect the high cultural status accorded to Chaucer. Intentional alterations made by book owners to their sixteenth-century editions of Chaucer include memorial inscriptions, title-page embellishments, and portraits inserted as frontispieces. Owners personally mended, emended, and augmented books, and in so doing, they memorialized Chaucer as well as his corpus of writing.

{"title":"Thackeray’s Articles in the Morning Chronicle","authors":"Gary Simons","doi":"10.1353/SIB.2015.0012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/SIB.2015.0012","url":null,"abstract":"D the early years of the Victorian era the major novelist-to-be, William Makepeace Thackeray, wrote over six hundred separately published articles encompassing a variety of literary styles and genres for over twenty different periodicals (Harden, Checklist of Contributions). Much of Thackeray’s periodical satiric fi ction – particularly the pseudonymous stories and novels serialized in Fraser’s Magazine from 1837 to 1847 (such as The Yellowplush Correspondence, Catherine, and Barry Lyndon) and the satires published in Punch during the years 1842 –54 (as exemplifi ed by articles by “the fat contributor” or series such as The Snobs of England, or Punch’s Prize Novelists) – has received considerable scholarly attention (Pearson, W. M. Thackeray and the Mediated Text; Sanders, “Thackeray and Punch”). However, partially because of diffi culties in attribution, the many anonymous critical articles Thackeray wrote during those same years for two of London’s leading newspapers, The Times (1837– 40) and The Morning Chronicle (ca.1838 – 48), have been relatively unnoticed. This lack of attention is regrettable, as Thackeray’s newspaper articles often metamorphosed into revealing essays on the manners and life of the early Victorian world. These essays include: assessments of the world of art; reviews of the works of leading English and American authors and the literary trends of the day; ruminations on the aesthetics of poets and poetry; remarks on leading thinkers and politicians of the era; examinations of England’s relationships with America, France, Ireland, and Russia; sentiments regarding Evangelicalism and Catholicism; thoughts on the roles of commoners, aristocrats, and royalty, and on the essential nature of republics and totalitarian regimes; considerations regarding travel to and the cultures of countries of Europe, Africa, and Asia; observations on medieval and modern history; and comments on commerce and colonialism. Further, embedded in these articles are many markers of Thackeray’s development as a novelist and essayist. Unfortunately, Thackeray never collected and republished his Times or Morning Chronicle articles. Consequently, one of the most comprehensive editions of Thackeray’s works, the 1908 Oxford Thackeray, includes only one article from the Morning Chronicle.1 During the twentieth century Harold Gulliver (in his 1934 book Thackeray’s Literary Apprenticeship) and Gordon Ray (as part of his 1945 – 46 The Letters and Private Papers of William Makepeace Thackeray and his subsequent","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"21 1","pages":"249 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72762275","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}

It is The Boot And Shoe Trade Containing A List Of The Boot And Shoe Manufacturers And Dealers In The United States (New York: Wm. F. Bartlett, 1859), and a copy is at the American Antiquarian Society (MWA). There may well be others. In 1860 the same publisher issued a bookstore directory that I listed as no. 4 in the checklist accompanying my essay. When the checklist was published, I had not yet examined this directory, but based my entry on a report of an incomplete copy in the collections of the Boston Public Library (MB). Below is a full description of the directory based on my examination of the MB copy and of another in the collections of the Columbia University Library (NNC). I can now also give a full description, based on a copy from the libraries of the University of Illinois (IU), of the bookstore directory published by the H. W. Wilson Company in August 1910 that was listed as no. 43 and there described as “not seen.” Inevitably, in the time since the checklist was published, I have also discovered a few directories that I missed when I made my initial survey. These are listed here as nos. 9.3, 9.7, and 43.5. Additional locations of surviving copies of bookstore directories that were listed in the published checklist are: nos. 14 and 28 at the American Antiquarian Society (MWA), and nos. 15, 28, 58, 59, 62, and 63 at the Henry E.

This lavish pair of large quarto volumes (with main sections of 590 and 527 pages respectively) included many engraved tailpieces, which placed special demands on the compositors. By analyzing material traces seldom examined—such as lines of text per page—we can infer with reasonable certainty how they operated. Along the way we may provide a rationale for some of the catchword errors3 by connecting these inconsistencies with the printing and publishing of the book, especially illustration. The Tonsons were well known for publishing deluxe books. William Thomas Lowndes, an eminent bibliographer of the early nineteenth century, defi ned Caesar’s Commentaries brought out by Jacob Tonson I in 1712 as “the most sumptuous classical work which England has produced.”4 The 1720 Milton is typically adorned with rich illustrations.

Owens has put Defovians in a variety of states ranging from acceptance, to doubt and consternation, to fury and denial. In 1988, Furbank and Owens published The Canonisation of Daniel Defoe,2 challenging the soundness of the 570-item canon laid out in John Robert Moore’s A Checklist of the Writings of Daniel Defoe.3 In doing so, they confronted a problem that some scholars had worried about but none had ever really tried to reckon with. The sheer quantity was startling: could even a very industrious man have written so much, so fast, and for so many years? Yet more disturbing was the fact that many of the works in Moore’s canon were there simply because they “sounded like” or seemed “characteristic of ” Defoe and no scholar had proven that they were by anyone else. Surveying the history of the growth of the canon, Furbank and Owens delivered a polite but blunt message: attributions should no longer be made from style and content alone, and serious reconsiderations were in order. Six years later they brought out Defoe De-Attributions: A Critique of J. R. Moore’s Checklist, objecting even more forcefully to Moore’s principles of attribution and arguing for the removal of 252 works.4 In 1998, they published A Critical Bibliography of Daniel Defoe, setting forth their revised canon comprising 276 items, divided into “certain” and “probable.”5","PeriodicalId":82836,"journal":{"name":"Studies in bibliography","volume":"188 1","pages":"131 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87036518","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}
