Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of Richard Radcliffe and John James of Queen's College, Oxford, 1755-83: With Additions, Notes, and Appendices The following correspondence forms part of a large number of family letters which have gradually come into my hands during the last two years. Those have been selected for publication which bear in any degree on University life at the time. As the Provost of Queen's has kindly undertaken to write a Prefatory Note, I will content myself with giving a short account of the four men whose correspondence is now published. Both in this Preface and in the Index I shall refer to 'John James, senior, ' as 'Dr. James, ' and to his son John as 'James.' The one or two notes printed in italics are by James himself. Richard Radcliffe, the writer of the first sixteen of the letters, was the son of Francis Radcliffe of Ulock, and Anne, daughter of Mr. Jackson of Torpenhow, Cumberland. He was born in 1727, and was educated at St. Bees (see p. 34). On October 7, 1743, he entered as Batler at Queen's, was elected Taberdar April 21, 1748, and proceeded B.A. the same year. On October 30, 1751, he took his Master's degree. From his first letter to his friend Dr. James, we find that in 1755 he was curate of Bucklebury, in Berkshire, but was on the point of taking another cure in the same county, at White Waltham, where he took up his residence in January, 1756. He did not however remain there long, as a few months later his Vicar, Dr. Dodwell, put him into the living of Colsterworth in Lincolnshire, during the minority of his son Henry Dodwell. Radcliffe was Rector of Colsterworth for ten years, and then remained on for eleven years more as young Dodwell's curate, until in 1777 the living of Holwell in Dorset, in the gift of Queen's College, became vacant and fell to his share, he having been then all but thirty years on the Foundation 'without, ' as he says (p. 31), 'having had the offer of any preferment from College.'

Book Description
Recent years have witnessed a growing fascination with the printed annotations accompanying eighteenth-century texts. Previous studies of annotation have revealed the margins as dynamic textual spaces both shaping and shaped by diverse aesthetic, historical, and political sensibilities. Yet previous studies have also been restricted to notes by or for canonical figures; they have neglected annotation’s relation to developments in reading audiences and the book trade; and they have overlooked the interaction, even tension, between prose notes and poetry, a tension reflecting eighteenth-century views of poetry as aesthetically superior to prose. Annotation in Eighteenth-Century Poetry addresses these oversights through a substantial introduction and eleven essays analyzing the printed endnotes and footnotes accompanying poems written or annotated between 1700 and 1830. Drawing on methods and critical developments in book history and print culture studies, this collection explores the functions that annotation performed on and through the printed page. By analyzing the annotation specific to poetry, these essays clarify the functions of notes among the other paratexts, including illustrations, by which scholars have mapped poetry’s relation to the expanding book trade and the class-specific production of different formats. Because the reading and writing of poetry boasted social and pedagogical functions that predate the rise of the note as a print technology, studying the relation of notes to poetry also reveals how the evolving layout of the eighteenth-century book wrought significant changes not only on reading practices and reception, but on the techniques that booksellers used to make new poems, steady-sellers, and antiquarian discoveries legible to new readers. Above all, analyzing notes in poetry volumes contributes to larger inquiries into canon formation and the rise of literary studies as a discipline in the eighteenth century.
