Patrick Spedding: Pope's Pen-portrait of Haywood
http://patrickspedding.blogspot.com/2015/07/popes-pen-portrait-of-haywood.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. Pope's Pen-portrait of Haywood. Alexander Pope included Haywood in his Dunciad. Book 2, ll. 149–56, 179–80; published 18 May 1728). The portrait is unflattering—which is no great surprise, Pope was a sexist pig—but it is one of the only pen-portraits we have. And for this reason, although it is a poisonous pen, it is quoted with tedious regularity in relation to Haywood. Here is the text:. See in the circle next, Eliza plac'd,. Two babes of love close clinging to her waste;. I think...

Thursday, 18 September 2014. More on a Popular 18C Tailpiece Design. In January I did a post ( here. On an eighteenth-century printer's ornament design, which appears in two ornaments by Thomas Gardner (T03 and T04; used 1735–56) and another used by T. Saint in 1785. Printed for Benjamin Motte. Jonathan Magus has pointed out that a very similar pomander ornament appears in Henry Plomer, English Printers Ornaments. 1924), 227 (no.109)—where it is described as having been owned by Cornelius Crown...So I ha...

Patrick Spedding: Wall of Shame
http://patrickspedding.blogspot.com/2015/02/wall-of-shame.html
Thursday, 26 February 2015. On this page I plan on memorialising some of the negative, dismissive, outrageous and idiotic statements made about Eliza Haywood and her (actual or putative) works. (I have already discussed Haywood's reputation before the twentieth century, and collected together some of the more positive statements made about Haywood here. Jonathan Swift [letter dated 26 October 1731], in Letters to and from Henrietta, Countess of Suffolk. 1824), 2.29 ( here. In The Monthly Review. The prod...

Sunday, 30 June 2013. Good Paper, Crappy Paper, Large Paper etc. I have been examining eighteenth-century auction catalogues and was puzzled by an abbreviation I found in one of them: "Ch. opt." After a lot of faffing about online I established only that this was an abbreviation of "Chart. opt."—which my little Latin suggested was Paper Best [optima/optimal]. What isn't clear is what exactly this implied beyond "best." Thomas Frognall Dibdin writes ( here. Charta cacata = crappy paper or toilet paper.

DOC-IN-BOOTS: August 2013
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. Why Study Fairy Tale? A friend on Facebook recently linked a New Yorker article, " Why Teach and Study English? I did like Adam Gopnik's observation, "The reason we need the humanities is because we’re human. That’s enough." But I had to stop myself reading the comments section. I don't think anyone is ever happy with the justification for English Lit. Sometimes reading these kinds of articles puts me in an uneasy mood for the rest of the day. Why do I teach it now? Sunday, Aug...

Thursday, February 21, 2013. Looking for the yellow brick road. Have you seen the trailers. For Oz: The Great and Powerful. Some trailers look incredible, others look a little. worrisome. Nonetheless, I'm pleased to see people will travel by bubble. I feel that's important. Or maybe I just wish I. Could travel by bubble. That's probably it. A couple of colleagues and I have lately been talking about all things Oz. Michelle Smith writes an excellent post on the topic here. The problem I have with a lot of...
DOC-IN-BOOTS: Want to play a game?
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2013/09/want-to-play-game.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. Want to play a game? Above is a sneak peek of one of my recent discoveries. Can you guess what it is? I can't share it yet, but hopefully will soon! I've been collecting illustrations of French tales as part of my research for the book I'm writing. I've already shared some details about illustrations found in advertising here. Do click the link - it looks. fantastic! At a conference a few years ago and I've since read her book, Stranger Magic. Which features a chariot made from...
DOC-IN-BOOTS: March 2013
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Lately, I've been 'winging' lectures and papers. This isn't to say that I don't plan - it's just that I've gone 'off page.' However, now and then, I still do write up a speech, especially when I'm asked for a copy. So in this case, I can share with you the speech I gave at the opening of the 'In Fairy Land' exhibition. WHY PRINT FAIRY TALES MATTER. There will be later tales from a glamorous French past, where witty women met in salons and composed outrageous stories of perfectly b...

Friday, June 14, 2013. Don't Be Afraid of the Stacks. Today I popped into the library to pick up a couple of books. I came out with six. Spending time among the stacks is never a bad thing. Among the books that caught my eye, The Culture Sewing: Gender Consumption and Home Dressmaking. Which I'd had on my book list. My point is, sometimes research is simply about spending time in the library, roaming the shelves and seeing what pops. I somehow don't think I'll be returning it. Sunday, June 9, 2013. Dr Re...
DOC-IN-BOOTS: December 2012

Tuesday, December 18, 2012. All I Want For Christmas. Being a scholar in English Lit., I need books, of course? I'm especially eager to read Fairy Tale Queens. There's a chapter, "The Queen's Wardrobe: Dressing the Part," which could have been written especially for me! Although I'm also intrigued by "The Fairest of Them All: Queenship and Beauty." Every chapter looks fascinating and I have high hopes. Yesterday I was thrilled to discover a collection of essays. Once of my all time favourite films! Dr Re...
DOC-IN-BOOTS: August 2012
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. Earlier this week, I went to the " Rodgers and Hammerstein:. I'm hoping to find a little time to re-engage with my earlier research interest in musicals. I was a bit of a musical theatre geek in high school and later when I lived in the UK. Alas, I can't really sing. My high school choir teacher suggested that I could lip synch! U, which I published in theatre journal. To my own amusement! I also really loved the gates to the Globe. I finally saw Wicked. He looks a bit like Bud...
DOC-IN-BOOTS: January 2013
http://docinboots.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 19, 2013. Today, I discovered Google Ngram Viewer. I don't know all the ins and outs of the formulas (my mathematical abilities declined with the absence of chocolate frogs*). Basically, it scans all the google books for the frequency of a word over a period from 1800 and produces a graph. This was too good to resist. Do you know the word 'princess' is on the decline? I wouldn't have guessed that. Cinderella is definitely in the lead over Donkeyskin. Friday, January 11, 2013. Over the C...

In the meantime, some quotes from recent papers. Like much fan fiction, Wizard Rock is particularly active in those spaces that Rowling’s narratives elide over or that exist outside the novels.".

Monday, 12 March 2018. Genre Labels and the Rise of the Novel. I have recently been reading Leah Orr’s Novel Ventures: Fiction and Print Culture in England, 1690-1730. 2017) In her book, Orr frequently references an earlier article of hers, “Genre Labels on the Title Pages of English Fiction, 1660-1800” ( Philological Quarterly. 90, No. 1 (2011): 67–95), so I thought I would read it too. While reading her article I was struck by the fact that Orr’s analysis is based exclusively (it seems) on the pr...
