Description
An account of the resource
Elizabeth Barrett Barrett, or more commonly known in modern literature as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, was an English poet during the Romantic Movement of the 18th century. As a child, Barrett was homeschooled as the eldest of twelve children and her family held slaves in addition to several sugar plantations in Jamaica (Poets.org). Specialized in poems and Prose, her work, “Poems,” published in 1844, is listed by Poets.org as her fifth work of poetry, following prior pieces such as “The Battle of Marathon: A Poem (1820)”, “An Essay on Mind, with Other Poems (1826)”, Miscellaneous Poems (1833)”, and “The Seraphim and Other Poems (1838).” Barrett was particularly fond of Shakespeare and especially held an enthusiastic interest in the field of Biblical and religious studies. She died June 29th, 1861 in the region of Florence, Italy (Poets.org).
The piece “Poets” by Elizabeth Barrett Barrett is written in two volumes. Evidence of a dedication to her Father is provided in both through a series of lovely letters in which she remembers her relationship with him and the first writings of her childhood. The second volume consists of thirty-two poems among which we read “The Lady’s Yes” (96), “The Cry of the Children” (127) and “To Flush my Dog” (152), resembling her views on politics and society, coupled with her concerns on gender inequality.
The front and lagging faces of Barrett’s poetic series are off white in color, keeping a gold flowered embroidery crept along the edges, in addition to gold freckled specks over the covering. The pages contained within, slightly yellowed in age, possess a vibrant cherry red lining. The spine as well holds a royal gold embroidered geometric and clover pattern with a brown stamp at the top containing Barrett’s name, book title, and the volume of this edition. The inside covers are plastered with an old fashioned, psychedelic marbled pattern made up fundamentally of the three primary colors. There are two volumes holding a dedication and table of contents followed by a series of poems. Each volume contains, as well, a single bright yellow page. On it contains a signature of the previous owner as well as the date of possession.

Title
A name given to the resource
Cranford
Description
An account of the resource
Cranford is a collection of satirical stories about life in the countryside in Victorian-era England. It was initially published in 1853 as a full novel, though before this it was published serially in Household Words, which was edited by Charles Dickens. The novel draws heavily from Elizabeth Gaskell’s own life, and as such the eponymous town of Cranford is based on her hometown of Knutsford, Cheshire. Because of the way it was initially published, the novel has been criticized for having no typical plot structure.
This specific edition is the first edition printed as such. It contains a myriad of illustrations, 110 to be exact, by Hugh Thomson. The illustrations are used primarily as front- and endpieces for chapters, though several of them also illustrate direct quotes from the text. The cover and spine both have extensive gold-ink illustrations, and the edges of the pages are also gilded. The front cover and title page, interestingly, do not give Elizabeth Gaskell’s first name, opting instead to refer to her as “Mrs. Gaskell”.
The preface for this edition was written by Anne Thackeray Ritchie, who was a contemporary and another well-known Victorian female author. She’s also known as the daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray, author of Vanity Fair, and the step-aunt of Virginia Woolf.

Description
An account of the resource
Jane Eyre - Covers, Endpapers, & Fullpage Proof Lithographs is a collection of lithographs that were inspired by Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre. The book contains numerous lithographs that illustrate certain scenes from the novel, in total there are 17 lithographs that are included within the book. The lithographs were created by British book illustrator and lithographer Barnett Freedman in March of 1942. Barnett’s lithographs are mainly interpretations of scenes from Bronte’s novel that were transformed into art. Lithography “is the process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink except where it is required for printing”(Oxford Dictionary).
The collection of lithographs have been compiled into a book, the book itself is a hard-cover, with a canvas surface.

Description
An account of the resource
Originally printed in a series of three volumes in 1818, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a fictional tale of a scientist, named Victor Frankenstein, who creates life by using a mixture of science and alchemy. The unnamed creature flees from his creator and he is met with hostility and hatred from humans in the area. The creature is ultimately seen as a monster and persecuted. The monster has the singular goal of being accepted and loved by others, ideally a reflection of himself. The book relies on an extended metaphor of Victor Frankenstein playing the role of God, and by extension, the monster serves to play the role of the first man in the Book of Genesis, Adam.
There are major differences between the 1818 edition and 1831 edition. In the 1831, Mary Shelley had heavily revised the book. The two main differences are Elizabeth’s character in the story and her letter to Victor when he is away for college. In the 1818 edition, Elizabeth is Victor Frankenstein’s cousin. She is Victor’s father sister’s daughter. In 1831, Elizabeth was adopted in Lake Como in Italy. Elizabeth letter starts differently in each edition.
In this edition, a second story is seeded into the bindings. The second story is called The Ghost-Seer, written by Friedrich Schiller, a German author. This printing of The Ghost-Seer is the first of multiple volumes set that placed together, contain the entire text. The story shares many of the same themes as Frankenstein in that it uses religion and necromancy in the presentation of the plot. This male author's work is also considered to be Gothic Literature, and its presented along-side Shelley's to play off the themes present in the prior novel. This technique of adding a shorter portion of a book into the biding was a way for publishers to sell books in the early 1800s, as it worked as a sort of advertising.
Mary Shelley began writing this story when she was at the age of 18. Mary Shelley was born on August 30, 1797, in London, England. Her maiden name before she was married was Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. When she has discovered her father’s enormous library, she discovered her creativity in writing. She met Percy Bysshe Shelley, a student of her father. They fell in love and fled from her home with her step-sister Jane (Claire) Clairmont. In the summer of 1816, Mary, Percy and Jane were in Geneva, Switzerland with Lord Byron and John Polidori. As guests of Lord Byron, they stayed indoors talking about the supernatural and science. Lord Byron challenged them to write the best horror story after they read Fantasmagoriana, a book about German ghost stories. When Mary Shelley fell asleep that night, she had a nightmare. There was a man kneeling next to a giant creature figure that he created. This inspired her story, Frankenstein.
Today, Frankenstein is used as an example of Gothic literature, as it coincides with the time of this artistic movement and displays many of the traits involved with that writing style. Shelley is a prominent English author and helped the emergence of other woman writers as the field in the early 1800s was extremely male dominated. This illustrated edition of the novel includes another story titles The Ghost Seer. The story of Frankenstein has been adapted into multiple plays, movies and TV shows. The importance of this novel in the collection stands for many reasons, as Frankenstein has become a cultural symbol in the modern world, written by a woman when there were few in the field, and as a conduit to learn about Gothic Literature.
This edition contains two interesting illustrations at the beginning of the volume. The first picture has Victor Frankenstein and the creature in it. The creature does not look how Mary Shelley describes it in her story. It looks more human. Victor looks different compared to the next illustration. It is as if the experiment has made him deranged. Victor seems as if he is running away from the creature. The second picture has Victor and Elizabeth. It looks like Victor is heading out, but Elizabeth is holding on to him. I assume Elizabeth does not want Victor to go. There is a square dark spot around the picture. The dark spot is the ink from the previous page passing through this page. The illustrations are printed. The artist of the illustrations drew on a metal sheet and pressed the metal sheet into the pages. The book is often closed so the ink from the pictures would leave a stain into the next page as time goes by. There are dark spots on the page. It shows that the page is wearing out since it was made in the 1830s. The font in the illustrated Frontispiece is different from the whole page. It is in cursive. The illustrative title page also uses capital letters in the font slab serif. Each chapter has a small letter in the bottom center and the page number on the top right.

The tragedies of Sophocles
Description
An account of the resource
Reverend Thomas Francklin was a Church-educated man, training to be a minister in England. While he was a great playwright, he was disliked by his peers for different reasons. Despite this dislike, it could not be denied that many of his translations were “considered the best in the English language.” (“Francklin, Thomas” 183.) His talent in translation became well know, and led to many profits. Volume 1 of The Tragedies of Sophocles by Francklin contains the plays titled <em>Ajax</em>, <em>Electra</em>, and <em>Philoctetes</em>. There is no table of contents within the work. <br /><br />At the beginning of Volume 1, there is a diagram of a traditional Greek amphitheatre, titled “Plan of Greek Theatre.” In addition, there is a rather lengthy dedication to the Prince of Wales at the beginning of the text, and an alphabetized list of subscribers. <br />This text was translated from its original format because it was an influential piece in Greek culture and in dramatic literature. The title on the spine, “Sophocles in English”, differs from the title within the book, “The Tragedies of Sophocles”. <br /><br />To assist the publishers, “catchwords” were placed at the end of each page to makes sure the book-binders placed the pages in order. Another interesting aspect is that the “long s” form is used, which was a traditional form of the letter “s,” normally employed at the beginning and middle of words. It was mostly used for the purpose of decoration and was abandoned before the 1800s (“Long S.”). <br /><br />The front and back covers, as well as the spine, are comprised of calfskin. The spine features raised bands of twine down its side for decorative purposes. The designs on the spine of Volume 2 are much more intricate than on the first, with little patterns inscribed. <br /><br />Further Reading: <br />"Long S." <em>Oxford English Living Dictionaries</em>.

Specimens of the early English poets: to which is prefixed an Historical sketch of the rise and progress of the English poetry and language / [edited] by George Ellis
Description
An account of the resource
Published in 1803, George Ellis’ edited collection of poems reflects his cultural identity in that he grouped the poems by English monarchic reign. The collection of poems in Volume II is organized according to these four monarchs: Henry VIII, (which the book notes is “continued”, possibly pointing to the previous volume containing works produced during his reign) Edward VI, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth’s section contains the most poets and poetry because she reigned for the longest period of time. If grouping poems by monarch rather than by year isn’t interesting enough, the editor used another peculiar method of organizing the poems within each monarch’s reign. They are neither organized alphabetically nor chronologically. For example, In Queen Elizabeth’s section, Raleigh’s work precedes Marlowe’s. This is neither organized alphabetically nor a chronologically. Perhaps the editor ordered them this way because of the importance of the poet to the monarch in power when the poet published his works. Perhaps the editor placed them in this order according to his own predilections. Each of the four monarchic-ordered sections begins with a historical description of that monarch’s reign. Each subsection, by poet, also begins with a historical description of the poet. What is interesting about Christopher Marlowe’s introduction is the fact that it describes his death, but not his murderer, Ingram Frizer. Similarly, the introductions admit a lack of information in certain areas, as made evident by the editor assuming the year of Marlowe’s birth. Similarly, the editor claims Marlowe died before 1593, when in fact he died that year (David 527). <br /><br />The volume pictured here is volume II. The inside of the front and back covers, the first page, the last page, and the outside edges of each page (visible when the book is closed) are decorated with overlayed spots of colorful paint. These designs appear to be depictions of the night sky. The book’s covering is made of calfskin and is embossed according to a rectangular design, including a rectangular framing of gold tooling. The binding is ribbed; between these ribs are what appear to be floral decorations and patterns etched into the leather.<br /><br />George Ellis, Esq., 1753-1815, was a Jamaican born poet, prose writer, editor, antiquary, and member of the English parliament. Also known as Sir Gregory Gander. Held a long-standing correspondence with Scottish poet, Sir Walter Scott (“Ellis, George, 1753-1815”). <br /><br />Further Reading:<br />Ellis, George, Esq. “Bath: Its Beauties, and Amusements (1777).” <em>Proquest Literature Online</em>. 1992. http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2003&xri:pqil:res_ver=0.2&res_id=xri:lion&rft_id=xri:lion:ft:po:Z000346607:0.

London Labour and the London Poor : A cyclopaedia of the condition and earnings of those that will work, those that cannot work, and those that will not work
Description
An account of the resource
Henry Mayhew created this piece of Victorian journalism in which he detailed the conditions of the people working in London. The project began as a series of articles in London’s <em>Morning Chronicle</em>. Mayhew collected and published his essays in three volumes in 1851, and added a fourth volume in the 1861-1862 edition. The first three volumes of Mayhew’s book cover categories of workers including “street sellers, street buyers, street finders, street performers, street artizans, and street labourers” A fourth volume was later published focusing on “Those that will not work: comprising prostitutes, thieves, swindlers, and beggars.” The Gomatos Collection at Marymount University only contains volume 4 of the set at the time of this writing. <br /><br />Mayhew’s work focuses on the working class in London, their living conditions, and various occupations. In addition to detailed personal accounts based on interviews conducted with working class people, this text also contains charts, graphs, and maps he compiled to provide “scientific” support for his assertions. <br /><br />Although the book details the lives of the poor in London, the physical appearance of the book is quite the opposite. The book’s binding is a dark red with gilt-edged pages and ornate end papers. <br /><br /><em>London Labour and the London Poor</em> is a valuable resource in a collection that also contains examples of nineteenth-century British literature. Scholars in the mid-twentieth century began to point out similarities between Mayhew’s descriptions of urban life in London and several novels by Charles Dickens, including <em>Oliver Twist</em>, <em>Our Mutual Friend</em> and <em>Bleak House</em> (all of which can also be found in Marymount’s Gomatos collection). These similarities have led scholars to believe that Dickens was likely familiar with Mayhew’s work, though such assertions haven’t been absolutely confirmed. It is certain that they were both concerned with the social issues plaguing London at the time. <br /><br />Further reading: <br />Dunn, Richard J.

Bleak House
Description
An account of the resource
<em>Bleak House</em> is one of Dickens’ most famous novels. <em>Bleak House</em> centers around a legal dispute known as Jarndyce and Jarndyce. Readers are introduced to a panoply of characters, each of whom is shown to have some connection to the case in one way or another. This novel is told by two narrators: a third person narrator and a first person narrator known as Esther Summerson. It was first published serially in <em>Household Words</em> between March 1852 and September 1853. <br /><br />The front and back hard-covers of these two particular volumes (22 and 23) are plain dark red, with faded gold lettering. Together, the volumes contain 57 detailed illustrations by Fred Barnard which add to the piece and its characters. The illustrations evoke a darker image of the novel’s plot as compared to the illustrations by Hablot Knight Browne (“Phiz”) in the serialized edition of <em>Bleak House</em>. For example, the illustration that represents the Jellyby’s household in the 1900 edition has a different atmosphere than the serialized edition. Mrs. Jellyby is seen attentively writing her letters with all the scattered papers around her, the children and the tilted frame attached to the wall on the right hand of the illustration display the devastated life condition of the Jellyby family. This contrasts with Phiz’s depiction of the house, which focuses on the origins of the relationship between Caddy Jellyby and Esther Summerson. Readers can grasp the significant facts from Fred Barnard’s Illustrations of <em>Bleak House</em>, because it gives a wide perception into the employed conflicts in each chapter of the novel. <br /><br />These two volumes are part of a 30 volume set that was published by Peter Fenelon Collier & Son in New York City, 1900. The Marymount Gomatos Collection has the entire set. <br /><br />The other volumes in this set include: <br />v. 1. <em>Oliver Twist</em>. <em>Out of Town</em>. <em>Out of Season</em> <br />v. 2-3. <em>David Copperfield</em> <br />v. 4. <em>Our Mutual Friend</em>, pt.

<em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em>
Description
An account of the resource
<p><em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</em> is a widely popular and classic children's tale written by the renowned English author Lewis Carroll. The famous novel follows a curious young girl named Alice, who meets various colorful and eccentric characters in a fantastical world of whimsy and nonsense. Produced in 1907, a variant of the celebrated tale was co-published by William Heinemann (London) and Doubleday Page and Co. (New York). In this particular version, Arthur Rackham creatively illustrates Alice's many episodes with his signature and unique style, which complements Carroll’s imaginative narrative perfectly. His distinct and charming series of thirteen color plates and fourteen line drawings are accompanied with printed tissue overleaf and pictorial endpapers. The copy also features a delightful proem by Austin Dobson at its opening, as well as an intriguing vignette printed within the front and back cover. The cover of the piece is constructed of stamped red cloth, decorated with a colored illustration of The Mock Turtle's Story.</p>
<br />
<p>Displayed above, are numerous images which provide excellent repsentations of Rackham's unique creative style. Along with the images of the plates there are pages from the novel where the more simplistic line drawings are shown. Selections from the story related to the plates are also included.</p>
