▼ This thesis attempts to trace the
history of a century of
book art: from Futurism to the digital era. It brings to attention relevant examples of art works and their creators, proving that the evolution of the
book-object has now reached another revolutionary point, similar to the one that allowed the Futurist movement to flourish.
The thesis finds its inherent relevance in the sense of emergency that today surrounds both
book studies and the paper
book. Furthermore, it covers a less explored niche, as it refers only in passing to artists’ books. This paper wishes to shed light on the alternative life of the printed books – forgotten, discarded, abandoned – and, ultimately, to prove that contemporary
book art is mostly a product of the insecurities of the digital medium. In
focusing on the visual and intellectual reinterpretation of the
book, it will ultimately reflects upon the future of the
book this age of digital uncertainty.

▼ This thesis argues for the importance of the posthumous editions of Sir Walter Scott's Waverley Novels in shaping his literary reputation between 1832 and 1871. In the series of editions published by Robert Cadell and later A. & C. Black between Scott's death and the centenary of his birth, changes were made to the paratextual presentation of the novels, particularly through illustrations and notes. By tracing these changes, I will show how Scott's literary legacy evolves over this crucial period. Furthermore, by demonstrating that these posthumous editions reached a far wider audience than ever before, I will suggest that these editions, rather than any published during Scott's lifetime, most powerfully shaped his status as a cultural icon in the nineteenth century. These editions are, thus, still important to the way that Sir Walter Scott's place in the literary canon is understood.

▼ This thesis examines the buying behaviour of Dutch women during the eighteenth century and determines whether a change can be detected in the kinds of works that women bought. The research is based on the female customers that came to Luchtmans, an academic bookshop in Leiden, and thus the main source of this study is the extensive archive that the firm has left behind. At the start of the eighteenth century, a wealthy mother primarily visited the shop to purchase school books for her young children. However, as the century progressed, an increasing number of unmarried women came to buy newspapers and novels, as they had more freedom to pursue their own interests. Although these women were certainly not representative of the general female population in Leiden, an interesting shift presented itself when comparing women from two time periods in the eighteenth century.

Literary Constellations: Collaboration and the Production of
Early Modern Books.

▼ Literary Constellations resituates collaboration
within the networks of books and people in the publishing industry
in early modern London. Though print technologies and publishing
practices are most often understood as providing the conditions for
the development of single authorship, this project proposes that
print also produced new forms of collective literary endeavors.
Looking into the
book industry, especially the activities of
publishers within the Stationers' Company, I present collaboration
as creative activity dispersed among interconnected people and
books in the literary arena. This approach expands the recent
scholarly attention to collaborative literary activity while
remaining grounded in the social and economic context in which
books were produced. Not only were books written, translated,
edited, marketed, printed, and sold collectively in various ways,
but the publishing industry as it developed in London created new
avenues for imagining books as existing within meaningful
collectivities and as well. Each chapter of this project examines a
publishing event and traces its connections in the arena of books
to illuminate the dynamics of collaborative publishing. Readings of
the literary works are crafted by finding, illuminating, and taking
seriously the traces among, between, and in texts. The first
chapter examines the 1551 English translation of Utopia as a
representative example of a collaborative literary process that
includes writing as one in a larger constellation of literary
efforts that produce the
book. I further explore how the publisher
Abraham Veale developed a specialty in health-related texts in
translation, of which Utopia becomes a part. Chapter 2 introduces
the English translation of the Aeneid published by Abraham Veale,
which included a supplementary "thirteenth
book," and which was
produced in a collaborative group of translators and annotators.
This continuation of the epic raises questions about the potential
for groups of agents in print to continue the work of poetry
indefinitely. Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene directly responds to
the English Aeneidos and its collaborative continuing of the work
of Virgil, and in the process articulates an individualist model of
literary writing and reading. The third chapter turns to the
interdependence of play writing and publishing with other books in
the marketplace. I argue that Pericles was published as part of an
identifiable group of books, and so operates in an interdependent
cluster of collaboratively built stories. Finally, Chapter 4 argues
that news was a collaboratively produced print genre with close
associations with printed plays. The project of selling individual
dramatic authorship in the First Folio and Ben Jonson's late plays
required the disentanglement of play texts from their associations
with news. Part of this move toward disentanglement includes
Jonson's satiric depiction of the stationer Nathaniel Butter and
his news syndicate in The Staple of News.

▼ Remaking Nineteenth-Century British Novels for the Twentieth Century is an account of how the twentieth-century common reader was gestured at, marketed to, and reinvented by the reprinted nineteenth-century novel. It reveals how nineteenth-century literary legacy was established and kept alive through illustrated editions, the publishers who commissioned them, the engravers who illustrated them, and the consumers who read them. This is a readerly, consumer-driven
history of the nineteenth-century novel, with roots in
book history, reception
history, and canon theory. In particular, it focuses on three case studies: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy’s The Return of the Native with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen’s novels illustrated from 1957 to 1975 by Joan Hassall.

Identity and nation in the Australian public library:
the development of local and national collections 1850s – 1940s,

▼ The major public reference libraries in the capital cities of Australia all maintain a
‘heritage’ role that is a central aspect of their function in their communities. All
have acquired rich and extensive collections relating to the history and literature
of their respective states and, in a number of cases, to the nation as a whole.
However, this aspect of philosophy and practice has not always been part of the
public library’s institutional goals. When the major public reference libraries were
established in the Australian colonies in the second half of the nineteenth century,
the acquisition of a ‘local archive’ reflecting local colonial history and culture was
desultory or non-existent in most cases.
This thesis is a cultural history of the growth of the ‘will to archive’ in the public
library in Australia over the course of a century, focusing on the period from the
1850s to the 1940s. It addresses how, when, and why the Australian public library
came to be a repository of the local and national past, as distinct from (but never
replacing) its role as a purveyor of Enlightenment culture and learning. The
evolution of this function is situated within a broader framework of emerging
historical consciousness, the growth of civic nationalism related to the federation
of the Australian colonies in 1901, changing attitudes to the production of history
and the new value accorded to accurate historical records, and efforts to establish
a ‘national’ creative literature. The thesis argues that the archiving mentality that
emerged in the last decades of the nineteenth century, stimulated by the emerging
interest in local history, became naturalised in the twentieth century through the
forces of nationalism and patriotism. The evolution of this function was complex,
influenced variously by factors such as the degree and type of cultural
philanthropic activity, historical ‘amnesia’ toward the colonial convict past, and
residual ‘cultural cringe’ toward Australian literary production.
While addressing local archiving practices across all the major ‘state’ public
libraries, the thesis focuses on the Tasmanian Public Library. While providing an
overview of the development of the local archive in Tasmania over a century, the
thesis examines in detail the agency of key figures such as trustee James Backhouse Walker and philanthropist William Walker, and the effect of the local
penal past on the formation of the local archive, exemplified by the ‘life cycle’ of
convict text The Hermit in Van Diemen’s Land by Henry Savery.
This study emerges from the conviction that a close examination of the formation
and stratification of library collections that symbolise and promote national
identity contributes valuable information about emerging and changing
‘worldviews’ of communities, particularly the ways in which communities
identify as members of a region and nation. Utilising the lens of public library
philosophy and collections, the thesis offers a new way of reflecting on the formation of local and…

▼ This dissertation explores imagery and text in a vernacular prayer
book made in West Flanders in the early 1480s, now preserved at the Public Library in Kortrijk, Belgium (Stedelijke Openbare Bibliotheek, G.V., Cod. 26). The striking combination of woodcuts, drawings and manual coloring in the modest manuscript is a prime example of hybrid
image-making techniques used during the transition from manuscript illumination to printed illustration in the second half of the fifteenth century. The study comparatively examines the Kortrijk prayer
book in relation to two contemporary Middle Dutch manuscripts containing closely related prayer cycles, one of them illustrated only with
hand-painted miniatures by the so-called Masters of the Dark Eyes (Cologne, Collection Renate König, currently on deposit at the Kolumba Art Museum, Cologne), and the other with hand-colored copper engravings by the Master of the Berlin Passion (Sint Truiden,
Minderbroederenbibliotheek, Instituut voor Franciscaanse Geschiedenis, Ms. A32). Analysis of the text identifies Thomas à Kempis's "Orationes et Meditationes de Vita Christi" as a primary source of the three related prayer cycles. The dissertation also explores the adaptation of and variation on text sources in the prayers. The narrative woodcuts used
in the Kortrijk manuscript are situated in a stemma of print cycles designed as
book illustrations, presumably going back to a lost cycle of engravings by the Master of the Berlin Passion from the early 1450s. The broad dissemination and remarkable continuity of that pictorial series raise interesting questions about the potency of the newly introduced
printmaking techniques. A series of case studies discussed in relation to the hybrid images in the Kortrijk manuscript call attention to a little studied category of printed images that were altered and completed by hand.

▼ Botany saw numerous publications in Europe during the 16th – 17th centuries, most of which contained illustrations. Another visual aspect of these books which has received less study is the frontispiece. This essay provides a case study on the two frontispieces for the English work known as "The Herball" (1597, 1633). This study investigates the visual thinking of early modern Europe and the relationship between art and science during this period. The central question to be answered during this research is: What can the 1597 and 1633 frontispieces for John Gerard’s "The Herball" tell us about the visual understanding of botany in the late 16th and early 17th century England?

▼ This thesis explores the reputation-building strategies which shaped eighteenth-century translation practices by examining authors of both translations and original works whose lives and writing span the long eighteenth century. Recent studies in translation have often focused on the way in which adaptation shapes the reception of a foreign work, questioning the assumptions and cultural influences which become visible in the process of transformation. My research adds a new dimension to the emerging scholarship on translation by examining how foreign texts empower their English translators, offering opportunities for authors to establish themselves within a literary community. Translation, adaptation, and revision allow writers to set up advantageous comparisons to other authors, times, and literary milieux and to create a product which benefits from the cachet of foreignness and the authority implied by a pre-existing audience, successful reception history, and the standing of the original author. I argue that John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Eliza Haywood, and Elizabeth Carter integrate this legitimizing process into their conscious attempts at self-fashioning as they work with existing texts to demonstrate creative and compositional skills, establish kinship to canonical authors, and both construct and insert themselves within a literary canon, exercising a unique form of control over their contemporary reputation.
By examining the classical translations of Dryden and Pope alongside Haywood’s popular French translations and Carter’s scholarly and philosophical translations from Greek, Italian, and French, I show how each of these authors use conventions of classical translation, following similar strategies to build reputations. Both Pope and Dryden ask readers to compare them to a classical source, but Dryden promotes his writing by praising the authors he translates while Pope’s relationship to his originals is often adversarial. Haywood refuses to follow the topos of modesty, demanding equality with her authors, while Carter caters to current fashions by displaying her faults while praising her original. Although they wrote for different audiences and in different genres, I argue that these writers and their contemporaries saw translation as a central part of their public identity and I call for increased scholarly attention to this dimension of self-fashioning in eighteenth-century literature.

▼ This dissertation is a bibliographic study of William Shakespeare's 1623 First Folio. It extends Charlton Hinman's nearly exhaustive research in The Printing and Proof-reading of the First Folio of Shakespeare (1963). The basis for this study is the watermark and stop-press correction data collected for Eric Rasmussen and Anthony James West's The Shakespeare First Folios: A Descriptive Catalogue (2012). The analysis of these data sets allows inferences relevant to the print conditions of William and Isaac Jaggard's print shop during the printing of the First Folio. While most bibliographic studies focus on a single copy of a
book or compares several copies of an edition, this project contributes a cross sectional analysis of 219 of the 232 extant First Folios. The large number of watermarks found on each sheet suggests diversity in the number of crown paper stocks the Jaggards used. The size and shape of the watermarks suggest a grouping that indicates multiple watermarks were present within the same paper stock. In addition, the predominance of unmarked paper in distinct signatures in the First Folio but also found throughout the volume indicate the widespread use of unmarked paper. Data relevant to the stop-press corrections reveal that there were more uncorrected sheets printed than previously suspected. This conclusion is drawn from the fact that in all the examined First Folios, uncorrected sheets were found. Not one examined copy was perfect, not even the one known presentation copy. This study concludes that printing continued during the proofing process and that there were a greater proportion of uncorrected sheets to corrected sheets as a result contrary to prior scholarship.

▼ Bodies and Books in the Early Modern Hispanic World studies books – cuerpos de libros – and human bodies in parallel to yield new insights into both
book culture and the struggles to construct identity as legible on the body. I take metaphors of books as bodies seriously, amid the elevated stakes of the early modern Hispanic world’s preoccupations with genealogy, legitimacy, and blood purity. I suggest that books were conceptualized as bodies in the early modern Hispanic world and that this was significant in part because wishful thinking of the period treated human bodies as books that ought to be legible, reliable markers of identity. This project deliberately close reads both literary and documentary, verse and prose, manuscript and print, canonical and lesser-known texts for what they reveal about books and bodies – namely, where the understanding and treatment of them was intertwined, and where it diverged. Because the equation of books and bodies was so pervasive yet broken, I study its uses and abuses from both sides: books as bodies and bodies as books. The trajectory of this project arcs from cuerpos de libros to human bodies. First, I articulate the conceptual and practical connections between books and human bodies through analysis of the multifarious comparisons found in early modern literature, poetic theory, writing manuals, and moralistic works. Next, I turn to the theory and practice of libraries as sites where books and bodies interact, focusing on the Biblioteca Colombina, gathered by Columbus’s son Hernando Colón, and the Escorial library, founded by Philip II. To examine issues of cultural patrimony, materiality, access, and the value of books and bodies, I follow the saga of Arabic manuscripts captured from Morocco in 1612, incorporated into the Escorial, and digitally repatriated in 2013. Finally, I turn to body writing, the converse of books as bodies. Centered on the convent-fleeing conquistador Catalina/Antonio de Erauso and the mixed-race surgeon and ex-slave Elena/o de Céspedes, my third section discusses the foibles of reading and writing ambiguous bodies and how concepts of racial and religious difference invoked culturally-specific ideas of gender.

▼ The Life of Psalms in Late Antiquity is a literary biography that tells the story of how Jews and Christians encountered, read and made meaning of the
book of Psalms in Late Antiquity. It draws from and contributes to the fields of
book history,
history of reading and biblical reception.
It opens with a discussion of the materiality upon which reading was enacted and how late antique Jews and Christians made sense of and crafted the material medium of the Psalter (chapter 1). It then connects materiality to reading by examining scenes of reading, narratives in which an agent reads from a physical Psalter. This analysis highlights the interplay between materiality and the various sociological transcripts that undergird the activity of reading (chapter 2). Not all forms of reading, however, can be traced back to its material reality. The narrative continues with an exploration of the most expected form of late ancient reading: scholastic reading; namely, reading the Psalter as an exegetical activity (chapter 3). The discussion will examine not only the products of interpretive reading, but also the very assumptions that underpin scholastic reading. Exegesis, however, was not the exclusive – or even the most common – form of reading the
book of Psalms in Late Antiquity. The narrative then broadens our horizons of expectations by exploring the reading of Psalms in liturgy (chapter 4) and as magical and pietistic practice (chapter 5). These chapters offer windows into the life and practices of non-elite Jews and Christians. They also establish the popularity and pervasiveness of Psalms, which allows the story to then recurve back to exegesis, this time, however, with a focus on identity and religious competition. The narrative continues with an exploration of how the shared late antique psalmscape fostered both Jewish and Christian polemical exchange (chapter 6), and even irenic exegetical interaction (chapter 7). The narrative ends (conclusion) with the acknowledgement that this dissertation merely scratches the surface of late antique psalm reading, but nonetheless offers a foundation upon which other stories about the life of Psalms in Late Antiquity can be built.

▼ Reading is an activity that is realised in a specific place and period by individuals with different backgrounds, interests, expectations, and degrees of literacy. Reconstructing reading and its different practices throughout
history is therefore an elaborate task. This paper proposes the use of the 'reading spaces' model as a methodology to outline the reading possibilities for various social groups in specific historical periods and places. The study goes beyond the basic divide of the literate and the illiterate by considering a wider context and analysing the elements that can foster or limit reading. These influences have been determined through a review of existing historical reading studies and can be summarised into education, profession, socio-economic conditions, culture, and the legal and political system of any certain period. This particular approach to reading studies was developed as a method to study the activity of reading in seventeenth-century New Spain. The paper provides a theoretical framework for the reading spaces model as a basis and it then examines the various differentiators and conditions that influence reading in seventeenth-century colonial Mexico. Finally, it presents the analysis of three
book inventories from that period and compares them to their corresponding reading spaces.

▼ Com o propósito de contribuir com dados empíricos para as discussões sobre o livro eletrônico e o futuro do livro, a pesquisa buscou compreender e analisar as formas pelas quais estudantes que ingressaram na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) em 2011 se apropriaram dos conteúdos da lista de leituras obrigatórias do vestibular, composta por 12 títulos. Partiu-se do modelo da Ordem dos Livros de Roger Chartier (1998), aplicando-se o con-ceito das listas de vestibular como forma canônica desenvolvido por Ana Cláudia Fidélis (2008). O planejamento metodológico da dissertação seguiu o modelo de Pesquisa em Comuni-cação de Maria Immacolata Vasallo de Lopes (2003). A amostra foi escolhida levando em conta dados quantitativos preexistentes da pesquisa Retratos da Leitura no Brasil (2008). A observa-ção envolveu 263 estudantes de primeiro ano de nove cursos da UFRGS, um de cada Grande Área da Capes, que responderam a um questionário fechado
autoaplicado. O formulário incluía questões sobre a quantidade de livros recomendados lidos na íntegra ou parcialmente e os su-portes adotados, além de quantidades de downloads e leituras eletrônicas. Foram empregadas categorias descritivas elaboradas a partir de autores do referencial teórico como John B. Thomp-son (2008), Ted Striphas (2011) e José Afonso Furtado (2006). A análise dos dados quantitati-vos originados pelo levantamento foi realizada de forma qualitativa. Também foi realizada em menor escala triangulação empregando técnicas qualitativas, mesclando-se observação direta e entrevistas telefônicas. A análise dos resultados apontou que houve predominância da leitura em livro impresso, suporte empregado por 90% dos respondentes. O livro eletrônico foi consultado ou lido por pouco mais de 30% dos candidatos pesquisados. Este grupo minoritário dividia-se em dois subconjuntos principais: os que utilizaram o meio digital por se constituir em uma for-ma facilitada de acesso aos
títulos e os que empregaram o suporte eletrônico como apoio ao estudo, conjugado com meios impressos. Também se observou que a distribuição em domínio público teve a tendência de determinar os títulos mais lidos eletronicamente. A observação a-pontou ainda grande variedade de configurações de relacionamento com os diferentes suportes de leitura, tanto em torno de perfis individuais quanto por área temática dos cursos. Colateral-mente, observou-se que candidatos dos cursos mais disputados tiveram a tendência de ler mais títulos da lista recomendada, com prevalência da forma impressa.

▼ Throughout the letter press era of the eighteenth century, manuscript (“written by hand”) writing encompassed other techniques besides inscribing words on paper with pen and ink. Visual images, printed lines of text, and the blades used for dismembering and recreating books worked together with handwriting to produce different forms of writing by hand. This thesis examines the history of writing as a practice of documenting and archiving the self using mixed media formats throughout the eighteenth century. Its main objects of study are extra-illustrated books and commonplace books, interactive book formats that their owners created or kept to manage personally significant information and records. Bringing the intermedial writing practices of Britain’s long eighteenth century to light through these two formats offers a historical framework through which to read the novel self-inscription methods used in today’s personal digital archiving systems, and other twenty-first century forms of electronically-mediated memory and identity.

Novos protagonistas entram em cena e o editor de livros, que ganhou destaque a partir do século XIX, vê sua função desafiada. O objetivo desta pesquisa é estudar o papel do editor de livros. Para isso, apresenta o conceito de livro ao longo da história e a sua função na sociedade. Procura demarcar os contornos do livro de história e fornece uma dimensão geral do mercado de livros no Brasil e no mundo. O trabalho de campo consiste em entrevistas não diretivas com 12 profissionais do livro brasileiros e estrangeiros. As conclusões indicam que estamos vivendo na era do incunábulo digital, em que há alguns experimentos, mas ainda pouca certeza de como será o livro do futuro
Digital books are bringing changes to the publishing marketplace, to the book circuit and to publishing itself. New leading actors are entering the scene, and the publisher,
who became preeminent as of the 19th century, faces a challenge to his role. The objective of this research is to study the book publisher\'s role. To this end, it presents the conception of a book along history and its role in society. It makes an attempt to define the contours of the History book and provides a general dimension of the book market in Brazil and in the world. The field work consists of non-oriented interviews with 12 Brazilian and foreign book professionals. The conclusions show that we are currently living in the era of the digital incunables, in which there are some experiments but little certainty as to how the book of the future will be.

▼ How did Victorian readers choose what to read, and why should this matter? Studies of Victorian reading practices have explored which texts Victorian readers chose to read and how they interpreted them, but scholars have generally neglected the actual processes through which readers became informed about and made their reading selections, as well as the Victorians’ discursive treatment of those processes. Addressing this lapse, I argue that from the Victorians’ perspective, the ways readers selected books had a profound effect on their reading experiences, shaping how they understood texts’ meanings, developed relationships with books, and characterized themselves as readers.
To investigate this overlooked aspect of reading in the nineteenth century, I draw on a variety of sources from the Victorian period, including metadata, literary representations of readers, and nonfiction prose that addresses
book selection, by figures such as John Stuart Mill, Henry Morley, Mark Pattison, and John Ruskin. These sources provide a rich sense of the varied ways in which Victorian readers came across books and made
book selections, including searching through catalogues, following others’ recommendations, and browsing
book stall shelves or stacks of books at home. I outline two divergent attitudes circulating in Victorian publications about
book selection, one advocating readers’ purposeful pursuits of information about books, arranged by educated individuals, and the other celebrating the many ways readers could approach literature from outside of the formal infrastructure of information.
The nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century texts that feature most prominently in my analysis of Victorian
book selection habits include the catalogues of Mudie’s library from the 1850s through the 1930s, as well as a number of novels and poems: Arnold Bennett’s Riceyman Steps (1923), Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh (1856), Robert Browning’s The Ring and the
Book (1868-69), George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860), Charles Kingsley’s Alton Locke (1850), Ouida’s The Tower of Taddeo (1892), and Mark Rutherford’s Clara Hopgood (1896). I conclude the dissertation by bringing into the present the Victorians’ concerns about informed reading, analyzing Rebecca Mead’s My Life in Middlemarch (2014) to study the relationship between expert guidance on texts and emotional identification with texts.

▼ In the seventeenth century, the Ottoman Empire was marked by constant polemical disputes over Islamic religious practices. By the end of the century, these debates, which covered topics as varied as the permissibility of smoking tobacco or saint worship, had become so heated the many Muslims in the empire were willing to declare their co-religionists heretics. I use these polemical disputes as a setting in which to explore theories and approaches of religious transformation in the Islamic world. Rather than emphasize religious change driven by socio-economic forces or the disciplinary mechanisms of the state, I focus instead on how Islamic religiosity changed as it became increasingly entangled in the material world of the Eastern Mediterranean. I argue that intensified regimes of circulation of objects and people, especially between the Arabic and Turkish-speaking (Rumi) segments of the empire, were generative of key developments of Ottoman religiosity such as novel forms of reading and writing, a culture of pilgrimage centered on the hajj, and, indeed, the bitter polemicism itself. I do this through four detailed case studies of heresy, manuscript “pamphlets,” pilgrimage, and travelogues. The dissertation thus makes two contributions. The first is to integrate discussions of materiality and circulation into our understanding of the transformation of Islamic religiosity in the early modern Ottoman Empire. This is reflected not only in my analysis but also in my research method, in which the materiality of the manuscripts themselves helps me uncover unknown writers and topics and connect a myriad of unrelated works. The second contribution is to highlight how the sustained encounter, exchange, and connectivity between Rumis and Arabs became an important motor of religious and cultural change in the empire.

▼ "Haggling With the Muses: Negotiating Value in 18th Century English Poetry" argues that English poets writing in the 1730s and 1740s were substantially engaged with the emergent economic system as a result of their professional aspirations. In particular, I present an in-depth examination and reading of Edward Young's Night Thoughts, and show how Young channeled his frustrations at his lack of success into imagining an economic system that would privilege his own efforts. Young's poetry grapples with the concept of labor value vs. market value, the meaning of capital, and what it means to be an economic individual. His use of religious idiom enhances the complexity of his imagined system. Night Thoughts is part of the so-called Graveyard School; and in this dissertation, I investigate whether Young's engagement with economics was an isolated phenomenon, or a more widespread aspect of poetry from this period. Specifically, I examine the works of Thomas Parnell, James Thomson, and William Shenstone. I also explore the concepts of otherworldliness and virtue, both of which have been strongly associated with graveyard poetry. Earlier studies of eighteenth-century verse have often treated poems from the Graveyard School as products of simplistic religious piety, and as a transitional point between the high wit of the early eighteenth century and Romanticism. My research indicates that it is essential to the economic and professional situations of poets in order to understand the concerns that are likely to appear in their verse. I argue that eighteenth-century reading practices encouraged readers to extract short excerpts of verse for epigraphs and commonplace books, and that these activities obscured the economic content of Night Thoughts, and were responsible for the reputation of Young and his contemporaries as authors of melancholic Christian verse.

▼ This study consists of the cultural and intellectual interactions between literary elites in China and Korea that took place from the late nineteenth century to 1945. Although most of the relevant historiography of modern Korea emphasizes the influence of Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945) on Korea’s modern historical path, I examine the ways that the post-nineteenth-century cultural and intellectual interactions between the literary elites in China and Korea contributed to the rise of modern Korea. In particular, I focus on Korean literary elites in China—envoys, educators, and exiles—to account for the ways that their engagement with Chinese officials and intellectuals stimulated the swift metamorphosis of Korea that began in the 1860s and continued until the end of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945).
The first two chapters of the dissertation investigate early Sino-Korean relations before the arrival of Western influences, examining these relations through exchange envoys and the modern print culture in Shanghai, which strongly influenced Korea in the late nineteenth century. These chapters comprise the first part of the dissertation that focuses on Korea’s encounter with the modern world through China. I show how the perceptions of Korean intellectuals in China contributed directly to the change in Korea’s attitude toward the West, and indeed the world, pushing perspectives far beyond the traditional tributary system toward embracing a broader intellectual curiosity and pursuit. Following this, the next two chapters explore the interactions between Chinese and Korean intellectuals in Shanghai during the Japanese colonial period. Each chapter focuses on influential Korean nationalist thinkers and their activities to legitimize Korea’s anticolonial struggle through a Sino-Korean nationalist dialogue and the political impact of Sino-Korean nationalism in East Asia in the twentieth century.
Sino-Korean relations in the early twentieth century illustrate the essential transnational role of intellectual ideas relating to reform, national
history, and nationalist thought in shaping cultures and countries. In the conclusion, I suggest how such a historical argument can support the construction of a regional
history of East Asia as an approach for examining the political tension in East Asia that has been caused by historical disputes. This study of sinographic dialogues within the East Asia region contributes in developing a nuanced understanding of regional interaction and its dynamic in East Asia.

▼ In Reformation studies, the printed Bible has long been regarded as an agent of change. This dissertation interrogates the conditions in which it did not Reform its readers. As recent scholarship has emphasized how Protestant doctrine penetrated culture through alternative media, such as preaching and printed ephemera, the revolutionary role of the scripture-book has become more ambiguous. Historians of reading, nevertheless, continue to focus upon radical, prophetic, and otherwise eccentric modes of interaction with the vernacular Bible, reinforcing the traditional notion that the conversion of revelation to print had a single historical trajectory and that an adversarial relationship between textual and institutional authority was logically necessary. To understand why printed bibles themselves more often did not generate unrest, this study investigates the evidence left by a subset of Bible readers who remained almost entirely unstudied – that is, early modern Catholics. To the conflict-rich evidence of ecclesiastical prohibitions, court records, and martyrologies often employed in top down narratives of the Counter-Reformation, this project introduces the alternative sources of used books and reading licenses. What these records reveal is that Catholic lay readers were not habituated to automate critical reading practices in the presence of biblical texts; what they demanded from ecclesiastical authorities and publishers instead were books that could provide them with access to their church's sacred rituals and to its public expression of exegesis. The liturgical context of appropriation apparent in these Catholic books became visible in their evangelical counterparts enabling a cross-confessional history of sacred reading. This broader story is situated within the annotated Bible of one Catholic reader, Thomas Marwood (d.1718). The components of his book expose his overlapping reading communities and the disparate social and institutional contexts that structured them. Contextualizing each part illuminates the extent to which the conditions and traditions for reading the scriptures were shared across confessions and contested within them. This dissertation recovers a place for Bibles and their readers not only within early modern Catholicism, but within the Reformation era generally.

▼ From the late-thirteenth through late-fifteenth centuries, among the most frequently produced and widely disseminated books in England were unofficial, common law statute-based miscellanies known as Statuta Angliæ or ‘statute books’. In ca. 1470, a large format, de luxe, yet highly standardized, version of this codicological genre emerged; likely produced on a speculative basis, it survives in approximately two dozen exemplars. This thesis takes as its focus a member of this latter group: Cambridge, MA, Harvard University, Houghton Library, MS Richardson 40 (ca. 1460– 70). After reviewing current scholarship on these codices—examining several key issues and clarifying previous descriptions to enhance our understanding—it endeavours to establish a likely provenance for MS Richardson 40, exploring the ways in which both the manuscript and the broader genre resonate with the life of the proposed patron, Philip Mede (d. 1476), merchant, twice MP, and thrice Mayor of Bristol.

▼ Titled “David Walker’s
Appeal and Everyday Abolition” this thesis uses
book history methodologies to reconstruct the pamphlet’s overlooked uses. Where many scholars highlight radical and revolutionary tendencies, I explore archival evidence that seems unassimilable to these critical positions. Instead, this thesis mobilizes marginalia, gift exchanges, archival acquisitions, and printing records to paint a different reception
history of
Walker’s Appeal. I suggest that this evidence points toward a non-sensational, ordinary side of Walker’s pamphlet. By considering the variegated “situatedness” of
Walker’s Appeal, the thesis probes a larger idea of “everyday abolition.” This capacious term gathers ordinary, minor, and non-sensational abolitionist practices. “David Walker’s
Appeal and Everyday Abolition” argues that ordinary practices—gifting, preservation, private reading—constitute an understudied, undertheorized, and politically significant elements of antebellum literary
history.

▼ Paratextual clues are the secondary voices in a dialogue dictated by a text and its environment. While marginalia speak to the text itself, colophons, ownership stamps, and receipts of sale reflect the value, usage, and importance of that text. Medical manuscripts contain a variety of paratextual clues such as these, often shedding light on the theory, diagnoses, and treatment plans discussed in the text, as well as the reception and consumption of the texts themselves. Add previous translations, commentaries, famous glosses, and even simple layers in medical theory, and the conversations that the paratext takes part in show a network of sources, scholars, and languages across centuries. This is the macro-story of the manuscripts of Yūnānī Ṭibb, or Greco-Arabic medicine, in India.
This dissertation focuses on the Indian reception of a major Arabic medical encyclopedia — Najīb al-Dīn al-Samarqandī’s (d. 619/1222) al-Asbāb wa al-ʿAlāmāt — through the intermediary of its most famous commentary — Nafīs b. ʿIwaḍ al-Kirmānī’s (fl. 841/1437) Sharḥ al-Asbāb wa al-ʿAlāmāt — and the subsequent Indian commentary tradition based on his text. By working with the paratextual clues that the extant Indian Arabic and Persian manuscripts have to offer, the project aims to contextualize the reception and usage of these ṭibbī (medical) manuscripts in the Indian context.
With Indian manuscripts in this commentary tradition dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, my dissertation attempts to explain the developments of this medical tradition in India, through the lens of the reception of these Greco-Arabic medical manuscripts, as interacting with each other, previous medical sources, and the medical practices of their environments.

▼ This dissertation, a transnational study of practical knowledge in maritime Europe, shows how early modern sailors acquired technical expertise—on board ship, through books, in the classroom, and elsewhere. It draws upon nautical legislation, curricula, published manuals, and extant student manuscripts produced in Britain, France and the Netherlands over the course of the 17
th and 18
th centuries. After outlining state concerns and the institutions to which these gave rise, A Calculated Course: Creating Transoceanic Navigators, 1580-1800 focuses on the individuals who participated in and shaped these training programs. From the archives emerge not only practicing navigators but also their teachers, enterprising authors of popular guidebooks, and even those officials who presided over credentialing examinations. Tracing the interactions among these men brings into focus the habits, techniques and intellectual experience of participants in a diverse multinational community as they ranged across the Atlantic and beyond.
By following the navigator as he negotiated local waters and distant oceans, A Calculated Course overcomes the nationalist orientation of much maritime
history. This approach alters standard accounts of early modern cultural
history and
history of science in two key areas. First, it provides new evidence of the valuable contributions made by sailors to technical and scientific knowledge—and how these varied across Europe. From designing the nautical logbook as a navigational tool rather than an administrative one, to repurposing ineffective methods of determining longitude into practical rules of thumb, mariners did far more than simply accept the directives of land-based theoreticians. Extending recent re-assessments of the “Scientific Revolution” that accord a central role to artisans, this comparative study of the codification and dissemination of tacit (unwritten) and theoretical knowledge uncovers significant regional variation in attitudes toward technical expertise. The differences that emerged as a particular Iberian tradition of navigation spread north stemmed, this study suggests, from local economic and educational conditions. Thus, when seeking to understand longer-term patterns in scientific styles, nautical practitioners and institutions should be considered an important bellwether.
This project also integrates navigational knowledge into the
history of print culture and information management. It demonstrates that, far from being kept secret, and despite high geopolitical stakes, navigational information flowed across political borders with relative ease. Contemporary practitioners concerned themselves not with secrecy but with accuracy and credibility, crucial factors at a time when a typographical error could sink a ship. Ultimately, the analysis of these issues, as well as of the interactions between mathematics and memory, visual elements and textual instruction, deepens our historical understanding of…

▼ This dissertation traces the emergence of modern historical periodization across early modern Europe, from approximately 1500 to 1700. It argues that modern temporal divisions – especially our threefold scheme that divides the past into ancient, medieval, and modern phases – sprang above all from distinctly early modern methods of reading. As documented by recent studies in
book history, early moderns endlessly sorted, catalogued, and classified books. Yet fixing a coherent canon or "order of books" (ordo librorum) also created a parallel "order of times" (ordo temporum), as scholars both sorted texts by time and ordered time by texts. These bookish projects forced scholars to draw ever-sharper distinctions across diverse historico-temporal contexts. In particular, humanists accustomed to trumpeting the exemplarity of Greco-Roman literature had to confront "late" and seemingly less laudable authors who inhabited pasts very different from canonical classical antiquity. Hence, scholars discovered that the past was hardly monolithic; rather it contained a plurality of pasts, defined by layers of reception and dialogue with one another. As they grappled with this diversity (including that intervening millennium between antiquity and the present they started to term the medium aevum or "Middle Age"), they began to construct explicit narratives of periodizing. These narratives were ultimately formalized with the triumph of the threefold scheme of ancient/medieval/modern in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
Dividing Time consists of two parallel parts. Part I, titled "The Order of Books" or Ordo Librorum, consists of three chapters that trace the rise of bibliographical thinking in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. These chapters offer case studies in what the dissertation terms temporal disjunction – the growing awareness that the past was replete with problem sites and fissures, and that not all of its temporal components flowed coherently into one another. Part II, titled "The Order of Times" or Ordo Temporum, examines how, over the course of the seventeenth century, these problems promoted new thinking about temporal division. In this fashion, Dividing Time reconstructs how often-tacit processes of periodizing laid the groundwork for so many of the theoretical, methodological, and ideological problems that still define modern historical thought.
