An in-depth exploration of a 1910 edition of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám by Alexis Baumgarten. Labeled #39 in the Dr. Sigurd H. Peterson Memorial Collection at Oregon State University's Valley Library. Illustrated by Frank Brangwyn and published by T.N. Foulis,

This exhibit focuses on a facsimile of the first edition of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, . Translated into English by Edward FitzGerald and first published in 1859 by Bernard Quaritch in London, this edition played a key role in introducing Khayyám's poetry to English-speaking audiences. Unlike later versions that include decorative illustrations, this edition is simple and compact, focusing attention on the text itself. Its compact format, centered text, and wide margins create a…

This is an edition of the Rubáiyát that caught my eye due to the simple, standard nature of it. Many editions had a gimmick, or a way to catch your eye, beause they were intended to be given as gifts. My edition, marked as edition #78, was a gift book, as we'll get into, but it almost seems to be a study edition the way it is bound as almost a journal.

This edition is missing soe information. The date of publication is unknown, but we know its in the 1900's. The publisher is New…

An exploration of a striking 1935 edition of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam.

This gallery exhibit connects to the theme of my project "what makes us human?" These pictures will likely have to do with authors who have written stories that talk about aspects of human nature. 

Oppression and the Job of Writers

The Gallery Exhibit for my final project in British Literature 272.

For my gallery I wanted to add some image that relate with the entrances of my timeline. It must be a complement, with additional comments about the events and pictures that illustrates important things that were mentioned, but not illustrated on the timeline or the map, or that simply add to the existant elements.

This project will demonstrate how British literature has both reflected and influenced the evolving roles of women over the past 250 years. By examining these texts, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges women have faced and the progress that has been made in the fight for gender equality.

Through their groundbreaking works Anna Letita Barbauld, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley, Christina Rossetti, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi have not only enriched British Literature,…

This gallery traces how British literature has used art not just to reflect the world, but to resist, feel, and endure it. Across centuries, writers turned poetry, fiction, and performance into a way of remembering and challenging. Each image illustrates how art speaks when silence is expected... Sometimes it clings to what’s been lost, but always, it asks us to look again.

This photo gallery takes some of the most important moments, people, and art reflecting the gradual decline of religion through the 17th to 20th centuries.

My exhibit is meant to provide imagery that personifies and makes realisitc the things described in British Literature by authors who advocated for human rights. Such descriptions often described the conditions of those in need of human right acknowledgement, and these images are meant to depict those conditions. 

My gallery connects my timeline and my map through a series of images that highlight the theme of what makes us human. Each image reflects a moment where people found hope, connection or meaning in the middle of difficult times.

This gallery looks at my personal interpretation of different photos representing literature through an artistic, environmental lens. 

A visual gallery through impactful tragic events throughout British history that has shaped and inspired writers throughout the ages. 

This visual archive documents three centuries of childhood exploitation through six carefully selected images that expose the rhetoric behind each era's abuse. Romantic-era engravings of "happy" chimney sweeps, Victorian factory commission illustrations reducing children to statistics, and WWI recruitment posters transforming boys into knights—each image reveals how visual culture reinforced literary…

For my gallery exhibit I am going to provide images of works each woman made.
