This exhibition introduces the authors Moses Dresser Phillips interacted with and whose work his Boston firm published.
The authors are listed in alphabetical order. In many instances the items include images of the authors. If not, the items include the author's name or the title page of one of the author's imprints. Clicking on someone's picture, or the book representing him or her, will lead to the metadata about the individual. At that point, it is possible to link to his or her WorldCat identity, to biographical information, and to many of the books he or she published, as well as to see the metadata associated with the individual. To the right of each author is a list of his or her Phillips, Sampson and Company imprint(s). It is possible to link to many of these imprints.
For some authors, there is also a Voyant word cloud for at least one imprint. Clicking on the word cloud will lead to the metadata for the imprint. Most of these imprint items include links to the book, as well as links to Voyant. The Voyant pages for the books present a variety of options for analyzing the texts. To learn more about Voyant, see my guide to Text Analysis With Voyant.
The content in this exhibition is based on my dissertation and my continuing work on Moses Dresser Phillips and his Boston publishing firm, Phillips, Sampson and Company.
