an evolving anthology of DH writings

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Literary Studies in the Digital Age: An Evolving Anthology is published by the Modern Language Association of America. It is the MLA's first born-digital, publicly available anthology. It launched in 2013 and continues to grow. The editors welcome new submissions that will expand the breadth and depth of the collection, including pieces that offer primers on topics, tools, and techniques pertinent to computational approaches in literary studies as well as essays that deepen or nuance topics already covered in the volume. The editors also encourage readers to continue to comment on published essays. Comments help scholars develop ideas that will chart new directions in digital literary studies.

MLA members can submit essays and ideas for future iterations of the volume and can upload drafts of their own work to the DLS Anthology group on MLA Commons. To submit, please read the call for papers and send your essay to the editors at lsda.editors@gmail.com.

We began the process of creating this anthology with the intention of providing a primer to core tools and techniques for computational approaches to literary studies. Yet, since literary studies represents a confluence of fields and subfields, tools and techniques, and since computational approaches come from a great variety of sources, it became clear that any primer would have to be dynamic and capable of incorporating a rich and growing array of methodologies.

As a result, we're exceptionally pleased to publish this anthology with the launch of MLA Commons, knowing at the same time that our work here is not done. We are excited about the opportunity that the Commons and its community presents for building on the foundation laid by the initial contributors to Literary Studies in the Digital Age.

The Green Coat School Collection is now held in UCC Library but was originally formed in Cork City during the 18 th century under the aegis of the Green Coat School trustees. The Green Coat School, also known as 'Shandon Charity School' and 'St Mary Shandon Corke' opened in 1717 and first admitted twenty boys and twenty girls.

History of the Green Coat School

The school started as a private foundation for the children of poor Protestant families on the north-side of Cork City in Ireland. The School was so called because the uniform was green and keeping the uniform was dependent on good behaviour and knowing one's catechism. The school was vocationally oriented and in UCC Library's Green Coat School Minute Book (U.335) trustees' descriptions noted which students were bound out as apprentices to a variety of trades such as bookbinders, button-makers and seamstresses (23 June 1719).

"Building B in the centre of the map is Green Coat Hospital & School." William Beauford. Map of Cork, 1801.

Henry Maule (1676?-1758), as rector of Shandon (1706-26), was closely associated with the founding of the Green Coat School and served as a trustee. From its founding to midway through the 18 th century the school was a prototype and model to follow in the Irish coat and charter school movement and "the movement's equation of Protestantism with civilisation and industry gave the schools additional meaning in the Irish context" ( DiIB). Maule was instrumental in its success: "Maule toured Europe, [particularly English and Scottish models] to investigate similar schemes" ( DiIB). However by the end of the 18 th century the School had declined (McCann 108) and as evidenced from a circular within UCC Library's copy of the Green Coat School Minute Book soliciting funds for the School's Trustees. This circular is signed by Richard Lee, treasurer and grandfather to Dr Philip G Lee, and is dated 28 January 1822.

Furthermore Maule wrote about his intentions for forming the Green Coat School in Pietas Corcagiensis: or, A view of the Green-coat Hospital and other charitable foundations in the parish of St. Mary Shandon, Corke. In UCC Library's copies the plates are present whereas they're frequently removed. Jos. Harris was a noted Cork engraver and he provided the plates.

"South Prospect of the Green Coat Hospital, Cork." Pietas Corcagiensis.

Collection Acquistion

The collection came to light during a retrospective Special Collections' cataloguing project in the late 1990s. UCC Library's copy of the Green Coat School Minute Book (U.335) was donated by Brian Smyth, Dublin in the late 1990s. There is a note inside the front end paper of the Green Coat School Minute Book: "Given into the care of the Rector Rev. R. Hearn by Dr. Philip G. Lee 25 May 1930." Philip G Lee was a doctor and local Cork historian. Underneath the note Dr Lee has written: "Given to me as 'waste paper which I have bound. It comprises the minutes of the trustees since the foundation of the Hospital and from these minutes was extracted the rare valuable report of the School Manor as 'Pietas Corc.' They are very valuable and important." It is probable for this reason that it was seen as waste paper and that the first page is page 13. The Representative Church Body Library in Dublin has a different minute book of the Green Coat School (Manuscript 986).

The Green Coat School Collection

The collection in UCC Library has 280 books. The collection has: 10 items from the 16 th century, 195 from the 17 th century and the remainder are from the 18 th century. The items in the collection are predominantly in English (209 items), with 20 items in Latin. However there are also 20 items in French, 1 item in Spanish and 1 item in Irish Gaelic. As this is an early modern collection the imprints of each item show the spread of printing throughout Europe and the map and list below illustrate this spread.

Places of printing as on imprints in the Green Coat School Collection

Lyon (3 items ranging from 1562 - 1653)

Lausanne (1 item from 1577)

London (201 items ranging from 1579 - 1729)

Hamburg (1 item from 1592)

Leiden (5 items ranging from 1597 - 1648)

Cologne (2 items from 1602 and 1682)

Geneva (7 items ranging from 1606 - 1679)

Hanover (1 item from 1610)

Frankfort (2 items from 1610 and 1665)

Oxford (10 items ranging from 1610 - 1717)

Amsterdam (11 items from 1628 - 1718)

Cambridge (3 items ranging from 1649 - 1654)

Paris (7 items ranging from 1653 - 1713)

Utrecht (1 item from 1660)

Dublin (12 items ranging from 1670 - 1786)

Rotterdam (2 items from 1680 and 1690)

La Haye (2 items from 1695 and 1710)

Liege (3 items ranging from 1699 - 1717)

St Malo (1 item from 1704)

Brussels (1 item from 1711)

Cork (2 items from 1721 and 1725).

The composition of the subject matter of the collection is largely related to the Bible and Christianity with a number of items relating to language, literature (14) and history (40 items). Like many early modern collections there are a large number of works relating to classical writers. Dr Edel Semple in UCC's School of English discusses The Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romanes in this blog post.

However, there are no books with clasps and ties in the collection. In UCC Library's copy of the Green Coat School Minute Book it states: "Orderd that no books be lent out of the town nor any Book in the town unless the person who borrows it enters his name in the Register Book and leaves double the value till he returns it" (15 December 1718) therefore none of the books were chained.

In addition, UCC Library holds an ecclesiastical collection, St Fin Barre's Cathedral Library which was started in 1720 by Bishop Peter Browne and contains similar subject matter to that of the Green Coat School Collection. UCC Library's general Older Printed Books Collection was established by withdrawing items published before 1851 from the Library's general holdings. Of the 270 items held in the Green Coat School Collection 246 items are not held in any other collection in UCC Library. St Fin Barre's Cathedral Collection and the Green Coat School Collection have 35 items in common; whereas Older Printed Books and the Green Coat School Collection overlap on 5 items. Three titles are present in three different collections including: Leabhar na nornaightheadh ccomhchoitchionn or The Book of Common Prayer in English and Irish.

Description of Ownership Marks

Maule wrote Pietas Corcagiensis anonymously and within this book is a catalogue of the books that were donated to the Green Coat School Library (pages 37 - 48). Most of the donors to the Green Coat School Library were a who's who of early 18 th century Cork life: clergy, brigadier general, sheriffs, a lord mayor and gentry. Examples of provenance include signatures in the hand of the donor, stamps and former classification scheme markings. There are no bookplates, mottoes, armorial stamps or ciphers as evidence of provenance in the collection.

Donors As Listed In Pietas Corcagiensis

Honourable Brigadier General Stearne: 37 titles.

The Reverend the incumbent of the parish (presumably Maule): 132 items.

John Morley, Esq., Mayor of Cork in the year 1718: 4 items.

Henry Arkwright, Esq.: 2 items

The Right Honourable Early of Inchiquin: 3 items

Mr Daniel Thresher: 6 items

Capt. Charles Maule: 25 items

Mr Richard Pomeroy: 3 items

Mr Henry Sheares: 7 items

Mr Sheriff Austin: 3 items

Mr Sherrif Croker: 10 items

Unknown provenance: 38 items.

Signatures

Many of the items Maule donated are ecclesiastical in nature. According to ESTC Of the Sacraments in General is held in Great Britain in Cambridge colleges, Oxford colleges and cathedral libraries. It not that unusual that a 17 th century Anglo-Irish bishop has acquired a copy. Knowing one's catechism played a fundamental role in the Green Coat School.

Samuel Croker was Sheriff in Cork, a court officer elected by the freemen of the borough. Laud's A Relation of the Conference is a good example of the interest in publishing material to doctrine and religious controversy in the late 17 th century. This item is significant as it contains fragments of an old almanac used as strengtheners in the binding and has a variety of annotations.

In the Green Coat School Minute Book (U.335) is a list of subscribers to the School including Mr Bowyer (p.13). He donated money and A Rational Account of the Grounds of Protestant by Edward Stillingfleet for unknown reasons. Stillingfleet was a remarkable scholar and preacher and much of his library is now in Marsh's Library in Dublin. This title is in two collections in UCC Library and is one of 29 works by Stillingfleet held between the Green Coat School Collection and St Fin Barre's Cathedral Library. The aforementioned conference is between Laud and Fisher which further shows how important Laud was at this time. The manuscript note reads 'Mr Bowyer, bookseller in London, to the Green-Coat Hospitall of St Mary Shandon, Corke.'

Provenance: Stamps

Henry Arkwright was a customs' port officer in Cork at this time. Arkwright donated two different editions of Burnet's History. This copy is a '4 th edition' but no 3 rd edition was published by Burnet. This title is a good example of how popular titles were.

The Pomeroys were a prominent Cork family. This is one of the many Books of Common Prayer in the GCSC. In total 21 items were stamped with 'Shandon Charity School.' From the Green Coat School Minute Book it is "Ordered that the books given to the library be lettered by Combra (?) Daniel." (2 February 1720). It is unknown how many tradesmen were engaged in gold lettering but it is likely that Combra (?) Daniel also did other gold lettering for Arkwright and Pomeroy.

Further Research Possibilities

Little recent research has been conducted on the Green Coat School Library either as a stand-alone institution, as a library within the coat school system or on the survival rating of coat school libraries. To date most scholarship was conducted between the 1940s and the 1970s (see the articles in the Journal of Cork Historical and Archaeological Society listed in the bibliography). Further work could be carried out on the bindings, older classification schemes and fragments in the binding throughout the collection.

Journal of Digital Humanities

The Journal of Digital Humanities is currently on hiatus.

An experiment in scholarly communication conducted by RRCHNM's PressForward Project, JDH was born of the desire to publish the most interesting and innovative digital humanities gray literature. Funded by the first PressForward grant (2011-2014) from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, JDH was closely linked to RRCHNM's publication, Digital Humanities Now. Metrics for DHNow's blog posts, conference presentations and white papers were used to identify content for JDH, where it was then revised, expanded upon, and eventually published in quarterly issues.

As an in-house, experimental publication, JDH accomplished its mission to provide essential insight for launching similar publications at a wide range of research organizations, the core focus of PressForward's second (2014-2015) and third (2015-2018) phases. With this role behind it, JDH is taking a break while we at RRCHNM plan a sustainable second act. Our hope is that JDH will re-emerge as a journal that continues to highlight work in digital humanities. Until then, we are at work on an analysis of JDH 's first two years, and will share that publicly on its completion. Previous issues will remain archived and available for download.

Journal of Digital Humanities, Vol. 3, No. 2

Introduction

The Editors

The digital contexts of our scholarly practice impact not only the kind of work that we may do as humanists, but also how we represent changes in theory and methods over time. Whether we are preserving, analyzing, or representing cultural heritage collections, interpreting digital media, or communicating through open repositories or social media, our activities [...]

"...archival theory and practice need to be an integral element of such a critical framework, along with evolving historiographical and professional practices. The digital medium has challenged historians to expand their knowledge about archives, and understand their function in generating scholarship and knowledge."

Joshua Sternfeld, Katharina Hering, Kate Theimer, and Michael Kramer

"In addition to plotting related instances of digital media scholarship and creation, the Guide unpacks digital media, itself as a territory in which coordinates are enmeshed in humanities and social sciences research."
