Questa pagina definisce i criteri di enciclopedicità delle singole storie a [[fumetti]].
{{Tradotto da|en|Thomas Woolner|23 aprile 2009|285559509
In termini generali, l'enciclopedicità si evince dalla presenza reale o potenziale di informazioni ulteriori rispetto ai dettagli tecnici (autori, data di pubblicazione, ecc.) e alla trama.
Per '''«storia a fumetti»''' si intende una storia autoconclusiva, pubblicata in un'unica soluzione o a puntate/episodi/capitoli.
[[Image:Stamford Raffles statue.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Replica of a statue of [[Sir Stamford Raffles]] by Woolner, erected at the spot where he first landed at [[Singapore]]. The original statue stands at the [[Victoria Memorial Hall]]. Raffles is the founder of modern Singapore.]]'''Thomas Woolner''' (17 December 1825 – 7 October 1892) was an English [[sculpture|sculptor]] and poet.
== Criteri di enciclopedicità ==
Born in [[Hadleigh]], [[Suffolk]] he was a founder-member of the [[Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood]]. Woolner trained with the sculptor [[William Behnes]], exhibiting work at the [[Royal Academy]] from 1843.
Una storia a fumetti è '''enciclopedica''' se soddisfa almeno '''un requisito''' tra i seguenti:
# è stata oggetto di critica, analisi, dibattito in redazionali, articoli o saggi in pubblicazioni non amatoriali, di diffusione almeno nazionale
Woolner's [[classic]]al inclinations were rather difficult to reconcile with Pre-Raphaelite Medievalism, but his belief in close observation of nature was consistent with their aims.
# ha ricevuto premi o candidature a premi enciclopedici
# stabilisce un record nel settore (iscrizione nel [[Guinness dei Primati]], record di vendite o ristampe)
Woolner's sculptures immediately after the foundation of the Brotherhood in 1848 display close attention to detail. He made his name with forceful portrait busts and medallions, but was at first unable to make a living.
# rappresenta l'esordio di un personaggio enciclopedico (come protagonista, co-protagonista o antagonista) o di un elemento caratterizzante ed enciclopedico dell'universo narrativo di riferimento e che ha avuto un'edizione in almeno due lingue differenti
# è stata trasposta in animazione o in altro medium che non preveda una trasposizione seriale del fumetto stesso (sono quindi esclusi serie di [[cartoni]], [[anime]], [[live action]], ecc.)
He was forced to emigrate to [[Australia]] for a period, but eventually returned to Britain, soon establishing himself as both a sculptor and art-dealer. His visit to Australia nevertheless helped him to obtain commissions there and elsewhere for statues of British imperial heroes, such as [[Captain Cook]] and [[Sir Stamford Raffles]].
However, his most personal and complex works in sculpture are probably ''Civilisation'' and ''Virgilia''. These demonstrate his attempt to express the tension between the static stone and the dynamic desires of the figures represented emerging into solidity from it.
He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1875 and served as professor of [[sculpture]] from 1877 to 1879.
Woolner was also a poet of some reputation in his day. His early poem ''My Beautiful Lady'' is a Pre-Raphaelite work, emphasising intense unresolved moments of feeling. His later narrative works, ''Pygmalion'', ''Silenus'' and ''Tiresius'' renounce Pre-Raphaelitism in favour of an often eroticised classicism.
Woolner was a close friend of [[Alfred Tennyson]], providing him with the scenario for his poem ''Enoch Arden''. His speculations about human anatomy also impressed [[Charles Darwin]], who named part of the human ear the '[[Darwin's_tubercle|Woolnerian Tip]]' after a feature in Woolner's sculpture ''Puck''.
Thomas Woolner died instantly from a [[stroke]] at the age of 67. His wife Alice died in 1912. Their son, Hugh, traveled back to his home in New York from her funeral on the [[Titanic]]. He survived the sinking of the ship.<ref>[Hugh Woolner http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/fleecing_of_woolner.html]</ref>
