James Crossley : publisher, critic, collector and bibliographer: a Manchester man of lettersCollins, Stephen Frank January 2000 (has links)
Through the life and work of James Crossley, this thesis explores the important and often neglected significance of middle-class power and influence in the nineteenthcentury industrial city of Manchester. Born in the first year of the century, Crossley can be considered a paradigm of one section of a class divided along political and sectarian lines. He was a lawyer by profession, and a 'Church and State' Tory by inclination. After successive defeats, political ambitions gave way to antiquarian and especially literary interests, which he pursued in common with an influential network of other like-minded individuals. It is principally in this area that he made a significant contribution to the cultural maturation of the burgeoning city, and achieved the highest recognition during his lifetime. The principal topics investigated in successive chapters, through manuscript and printed sources, are: 1) Education and early literary interests. 2) The beginnings of a lifelong friendship with William Harrison Ainsworth, many of whose novels depended on source material provided by Crossley. Early literary journalism in Blackwood's Magazine and the Retrospective Review. 3) Legal training, the formation of the Manchester Law Association. 4) Political affairs, particularly in opposition to the Charter of Incorporation. 5) Dickens's visits, the expansion of Manchester's cultural infrastructure, including the Athenaeum Club 6) The growth and importance of publishing societies in the nineteenth century. Crossley's role in shaping and maintaining the Chetham Society. 7) The founding of the Manchester Free Public Library, Crossley's part in the selection and purchase of the stock, and the public recognition of this work. 8) The importance of the private collector in nineteenth-century literary research. Crossley's collection (particularly of the works of Daniel Defoe), and his influence on the work of contemporary bibliographers. 9) The Manchester man of letters, his accomplishments and status. It was concluded from this study that the life and achievements of James Crossley provide a valuable insight into the cultural development of Manchester in the nineteenth century.

Previous issue date: 2018-05-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / A presente tese busca fornecer uma biobibliografia crítica do poeta paulista Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos (1919-1992), de um ponto de vista globalizante até agora não realizada de forma plena pela crítica especializada. Este trabalho abarca sua própria obra poética (com cinco livros de poesia), bem como suas facetas de tradutor e crítico literário. Para sua realização, utilizaram-se os livros, textos avulsos e manuscritos constantes do “Acervo Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos”, que está hoje sob guarda da UNIFATEA, em Lorena-SP, terra natal do poeta, de modo a fornecer o máximo de informações à análise e interpretação de sua obra. Nesse âmbito bibliográfico, a pesquisa se serve de aparato metodológico da crítica genética de autores tais como Eneida Maria de Souza, Louis Hay e Philippe Willemart. No tratamento da poesia e das traduções de Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos, parte-se das reflexões teóricas do autor sobre a métrica tradicional, sobre o ritmo na poesia moderna e sobre questões tradutórias, trazendo também para a análise contribuições de metricistas consagrados como Chociay e Said Ali, bem como ideias de tradução de autores como Paulo Rónai, Sebastião Uchoa Leite e Haroldo de Campos. A abordagem crítica da obra pretendeu demonstrar de que modo se delineiam forma e conteúdo tanto nas diferentes fases de sua produção autoral quanto nas traduções do poeta, bem como procura investigar os reflexos de sua erudição literária em sua obra, além de suas relações com a “Geração de 45” e com outros poetas brasileiros, seus contemporâneos. / This thesis aims to provide a critical biobibliography of the “paulista” poet Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos (1919-1992), from a globalizing point of view hitherto not fully realized by specialized critics. This work includes his own poetic work (with five books of poetry), as well as his facets of translator and literary critic. The books, unpublished texts and manuscripts contained in the "Pericles Eugênio da Silva Ramos Collection", which is now under the custody of UNIFATEA, in Lorena-SP, the poet's home, are used for its accomplishment. the analysis and interpretation of his work. In this bibliographic context, the research serves as a methodological apparatus of the genetic critique of authors such as Eneida Maria de Souza, Louis Hay and Philippe Willemart. In the treatment of poetry and the translations of Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos, one begins with the theoretical reflections of the author on the traditional metric, on the rhythm in modern poetry and on questions of translation, also bringing to the analysis contributions of consecrated metricists such as Chociay and Said Ali, as well as translation ideas from authors like Paulo Rónai, Sebastião Uchoa Leite and Haroldo de Campos. The critical approach of the work sought to demonstrate how the form and content are delineated both in the different phases of his authorial production and in the translations of the poet, as well as seeks to investigate the reflexes of his literary erudition in his work, as well as his relations with the " Generation of 45 "and with other Brazilian poets, his contemporaries.
