Abstract:

This thesis represents the first-ever full-length study of Swift’s dealings and working relationships with the Dublin printers who took the risk on his seditious Irish pamphlets of the 1720’s. These printers were: Edward Waters, who endured a violent and protracted prosecution for printing Swift’s A Proposal for the Universal Use of Irish Manufacture in May 1720; John Harding, who died as a consequence of his imprisonment for printing the fourth of Swift’s Drapier’s Letters in October 1724; and Harding’s widow, Sarah, who came to print occasional works for Swift a few years after her husband’s death. Written from the perspectives of the printers, the thesis discloses a substantial amount of never-before-seen evidence pertaining to the lives and careers of the printers, the form and nature of their working relationships with Swift, the legal and moral obligations Swift owed them as a pseudonymous author, as well as the circumstances of Harding’s death. Historians have assumed that Harding died of jail fever – an assumption that wholly absolves Swift. But new evidence suggests the clear possibility that Harding, who was due to appear in the Court of King’s Bench, where he would have been examined at length on the true identity of this ‘M.B. Drapier’, met with foul play, and that the persons behind it were Swift’s friend, Lord Lieutenant Carteret, and Swift himself. Further never-before-seen evidence concerns Sarah’s Harding’s suppressed complaints and the persistent pressure that Swift’s friends brought to bear upon the author to support her in the years following Harding’s death.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the histories, publishing philosophies, and printing practices of two English-Canadian small-press publishers (The Porcupine's Quill of Erin, Ontario, and the Gaspereau Press of Kentville, Nova Scotia). By researching their publishing influences as well as the social and political climates in which each press operated, it is possible to analyze the decisions they made about why and how to publish certain kinds of texts. From there the thesis summarizes their publishing philosophies, and conducts extended analyses of the production of two specific literary texts: Endeared by Dark: The Collected Poems of George Johnston (PQL 1990), and Execution Poems (George Elliott Clarke, Gaspereau 2001). The historical research relies partly on secondary sources, and more generally the methodology was supplied by contemporary work in book history and textual criticism; however, the majority of the research, in chapters two and three particularly, has been culled from primary texts, press releases, newspaper features, web pages, and archival materials (letters, financial records, and so on). Overall, this thesis concludes that both the Porcupine's Quill and the Gaspereau Press emphasize an holistic approach to bookmaking, wherein each component part is capable of contextualizing, augmenting, celebrating, interpreting, historicizing, or socializing a literary text.

Abstract:

In 1951, G. K. Hunter wrote a piece for The Library drawing readers’ attention to certain kinds of marks in the margins of Elizabethan and Jacobean texts. Particular passages were emphasised, mainly using comma-shaped markings or a change of font. This thesis presents a thoroughly revised and expanded account of the field which Hunter first explored, establishing a grammar for reading marks which critical editions have rendered for the most part invisible. By situating gnomic marking in its historical context, from the first uses of the diple [“] by the Greek scholar Aristarchus, the thesis shows how it was the general uses which persisted into the early modern period. While Hunter suggested that emphatic marking was primarily attached to rhetorical figures, it is shown that printed marks were used by authors to achieve a rich variety of semantic effects and by their readers to create personal editions. The first chapter provides the historical background to early modern marking, from its Greek origins through its transmission across the medieval period to its adoption by continental printers and subsequent arrival in England. The way features of mis-en-page were translated along with the text of editions of Terence, Seneca, Chaucer and Robert Garnier is shown to be the primary factor for the development of marking practices, particularly when the annotations of previous readers were accidentally fossilised as printed marks. This lays the foundation for the thesis as a whole, where printed emphases stand witness to lost networks of readers and the circulation and emulation of valued editions. The second and third chapters present a detailed survey of the surviving marks in dramatic editions of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period, the developing role of publishers in calibrating mis-en-page to suit contemporary readers and shows how authors used marking as part of their overall style.

Abstract:

Many of these poems, although written in English, are inspired by Sepedi idioms and proverbs. Some invoke township and village life, others the observations and questions that come from writing poetry and experiences of travelling to different countries to read my poems. Others dwell on the political transformation in South Africa, or its absence, and on my own spiritual transformation.

Abstract:

Advertising in English is becoming more and more common in Sweden, as well as in other non-Anglophone countries, and not all previous studies agree on how well these ads are understood by the local population. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to achieve a broader understanding as to how well the message of printed ads in English are understood by the Swedish adult population. Moreover, this study aims to establish whether there are any common tendencies or patterns in the levels of understanding between the five ads chosen for this study, and how these relate to the personal and demographic characteristics present within my sample. The findings of this study indicate that 60% of the printed ads in English are properly understood by most people. Moreover, this study found that the reason for not understanding an ad in English most often is that the ad is drawing on a myth that could not be recognized as something natural by the reader. However, as only 12 subjects were included in this study, no generalizations could be made for the whole Swedish population, and a more extensive research study is thus encouraged.

Abstract:

Early English poetry anthologies are important because they reflect the poetic taste of their age. This dissertation is a reference work on those anthologies--a bibliographical catalogue and first-line index of early printed anthologies of English poetry to 1640. There are four parts to the dissertation. The introduction gives an overview of the subject and relates it to larger critical issues, such as authorship, style, and the manuscript culture. Next is a short-title list of anthologies and their subsequent editions. Part Three is comprised of quasi-facsimile bibliographical descriptions of the first editions of the anthologies followed by the first lines of their poems in sequence. Last is a comprehensive index of all of the first lines of all of the anthologies. This reference work will be useful to scholars working with Renaissance lyric poetry.
