Enriqueta Rylands Study Private Collecting

项目摘要

My project will research and analyse Enriqueta Rylands' book collecting between 1889 and 1908 (when she died), including her collecting for the John Rylands Library. Through close scrutiny of both textual records and the material evidence of Rylands' collecting practice, this PhD will reveal what she acquired, how and for what purpose - i.e. private enjoyment, public benefit or sometimes both. Central to the project is an investigation of the relationship between the tastes, interests and practical resources of the individual collector and the ambition to found a major educational and cultural institution.The John Rylands Library was founded by Rylands in memory of her husband John. She began book collecting in 1889 and continued after the Library was opened to the public in 1900. Much of Rylands' private collection of books and art was transferred to the Library after her death in 1908. This project will research the relationship between Rylands' personal collecting practice and its public manifestation and effect. One of the critical contexts for the study is the similarity (or not) between Rylands and women art collectors of the period, especially in terms of the interplay between gender, collecting and philanthropy. The concept of collecting and philanthropy as sites for the construction of identity will underpin my reassessment of Rylands' private and public identities, particularly in relation to her ambiguous social status as both wealthy widow, white Cuban and former lady's companion. This project will assess Rylands' collecting practice thematically, focusing on different subjects represented in her collections, including theology, literature and the visual arts. I will evaluate the material evidence of the collections themselves alongside the archival record, which includescorrespondence, financial accounts and booklists. I will explore the significance of objects both within Rylands' collection and in wider book-historical and socio-historical contexts. Rylands' collection will be considered not only as a physical grouping, but also as a period in the life histories of the objects contained within it. In this manner, the project will develop critical insights into the praxis and politics of Rylands' collecting (Pearce, 1995).This research will also turn critical attention to the incomplete and competing narratives concerning Rylands' intentions for the future of her collection, in order to better understand the interplay between philanthropy and private acquisition. Although Rylands' voice is represented in the archive - in letters, reports of speeches and official documents - it is muted and fragmentary. I will construct a critical multilayered narrative of Rylands' intentions and their public effect from her own writings, writings of contemporaries, and the writings of biographers and historians.

我的项目将研究和分析1889年至1908年（她去世时）之间的Enriqueta Rylands的书籍收藏，包括她为John Rylands图书馆收集的书籍。通过对文本记录和莱兰兹收集实践的物证的仔细审查，这位博士将揭示她获得了什么，如何以及出于什么目的-即私人享受，公共利益或有时两者兼而有之。该项目的核心是调查个人收藏家的品味、兴趣和实际资源与建立一个主要教育和文化机构的雄心之间的关系。约翰·莱兰兹图书馆是莱兰兹为了纪念她的丈夫约翰·莱兰兹而建立的。她于1889年开始收集书籍，并在1900年图书馆向公众开放后继续收集。莱兰兹的大部分私人书籍和艺术收藏在她1908年去世后被转移到图书馆。本研究将探讨赖兰兹的个人收藏行为与其公开表现及效果之间的关系。这项研究的关键背景之一是莱兰兹和这一时期的女性艺术收藏家之间的相似性（或不相似），特别是在性别、收藏和慈善事业之间的相互作用方面。收集和慈善事业作为身份建构场所的概念将支撑我对莱兰兹私人和公共身份的重新评估，特别是关于她作为富有寡妇、白色古巴人和前夫人伴侣的模糊社会地位。这个项目将评估莱兰兹的收藏实践的主题，重点是不同的主题代表在她的收藏，包括神学，文学和视觉艺术。我将评估藏品本身的物证以及档案记录，包括信件、财务账目和书目。我将探讨对象的重要性，无论是在赖兰德的收藏，并在更广泛的书籍历史和社会历史背景。莱兰兹的收藏不仅被视为一个物理分组，而且被视为其中所包含的对象的生活史中的一个时期。通过这种方式，该项目将发展对莱兰兹收藏的实践和政治的批判性见解（皮尔斯，1995年）。这项研究也将把关键的注意力转向不完整和竞争的叙述有关赖兰德的意图，为她的收藏的未来，为了更好地理解慈善事业和私人收购之间的相互作用。虽然莱兰兹的声音在档案中有所体现--在信件、演讲报告和官方文件中--但它是无声的、支离破碎的。我将从她自己的著作、同时代人的著作以及传记作家和历史学家的著作中，对赖兰德的意图及其公众影响进行批判性的多层次叙述。
