从1930年到1954年，玛丽·多萝西·乔治为12553幅“黄金时代”讽刺作品写了目录条目。这篇文章探讨了乔治作为策展人的声音，存档的过去和她的读者之间的对话者。它考察了产生乔治对大英博物馆的政治和个人讽刺目录的贡献的劳动过程，她的写作作为一个语料库，以及她对其中的解释。我们认为，乔治的语言和程序选择给目录的遗产带来了麻烦，目录是一种知识组织体系，它日益与生产环境脱钩，同时仍然是18世纪英国漫长历史的史学基础。
Between 1930 and 1954 Mary Dorothy George wrote catalogue entries for 12,553 ‘Golden Age’ satirical prints. This article examines George as a curatorial voice, an interlocutor between the archived past and her readers. It examines the labour processes that produced George’s contributions to the British Museum’s Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, her writing as a corpus, and her interpretations therein. We argue that George’s linguistic and procedural choices have trouble the legacy of the catalogue, a system of knowledge organisation increasingly uncoupled from its circumstances of production whilst remaining foundational to the historiography of long eighteenth century British history.
