  • Cambridge University Press Crisis of Literature in the 1790s Print Culture and the Public Sphere 36 Cambridge Studies in Romanticism Series Number 36

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book offers an original study of the debates which arose in the 1790s about the nature and social role of literature. Paul Keen shows how these debates were situated at the intersection of the French Revolution and a more gradual revolution in information and literacy reflecting the aspirations of the professional classes in eighteenth-century England. He shows these movements converging in hostility to a new class of readers, whom critics saw as dangerously subject to the effects of seditious writings or the vagaries of literary fashion. The first part of the book concentrates on the dominant arguments about the role of literature and the status of the author; the second shifts its focus to the debates about working-class activists, radical women authors, and the Orientalists, and examines the growth of a Romantic ideology within this context of political and cultural turmoil.Trade Review"As is, the book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Romantic notions of print culture and the public sphere, and cogently works through the ways in which such assumptions impinged upon, and were challenged by, the full range of writers seeking recognition within that prevailing cultural fantasy, the Republic of Letters." Wordsworth CircleTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction: problems now and then; Part I. Enlightenment: 1. The republic of letters; 2. Men of letters; Part II. Marginalia: Preamble: Swinish multitudes; 3. The poorer sort; 4. Masculine women; 5. Oriental literature; Conclusion: romantic revisions; Notes; Bibliography; Index.

  • Cambridge University Press Poetry and Jacobite Politics in EighteenthCentury Britain and Ireland

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book questions assumptions about the Augustan era through an exploration of Jacobite ideology in canonical and non-canonical literature. The 'four nations' literary history emerges, defined in terms of a struggle for control of the language of authority between Jacobite and Hanoverian writers.Trade Review"This book provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the precarious state of the Union." Times Literary Supplement"This is a timely book with a passionate edge....By knitting together a great deal of overlooked or ignored scholarship in Scottish, Irish, and Welsh literature and developing a general interpretation of the significance of the Jacobite cause for their mutual resonance and development, Pittock has challenged the existing verities and offered an alternative theory, which literary historians will have to consider in future analyses of the context, message, and voice of eighteenth-century literature." Albion"This is a timely book with a passionate edge....By knitting together a great deal of overlooked or ignored scholarship in Scottish, Irish, and Welsh literature and developing a general interpretation of the significance of the Jacobite cause for their mutual resonance and development, Pittock has challenged the existing verities and (just as importantly) offered an alternative theory, which literary historians will have to consider in future analyses of the context, message, and voice of eighteenth-century literature." Albion"This is in many respects an impressive and learned volume, full of interest. It traces the vigor and variety of the Jacobite literary response to defeat and exile, from Dryden and savage, throughout Burns, Hogg and Scott." John Cannon, Journal of English and Germanic Philology"...this book provides an excellent introductory survey of the history of Jacobite poetic discourse, one that will no doubt be read for a very long time." Gerald MacLean, Modern PhilologyTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; 1. Invasion and xenophobia; 2. The wee, wee German lairdie; 3. The codes of the canon; 4. Jacobite political culture in Scotland; 5. Jacobite culture in Ireland and Wales; 6. The demon's light; 7. The tartan curtain; Additional works; Index.

  • Cambridge University Press Sade Narratives of Transgression 52 Cambridge Studies in French Series Number 52

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis major collection of essays on the Marquis de Sade, first published in 1995, encompasses a wide range of critical approaches to his Åuvre, including some of the most celebrated texts in Sade scholarship. It focuses on several distinctly contemporary areas of interest: the explicitly libidinal components of Sade's work and the effects they engender, the textual and narrative apparatus which supports these operations, the ethical and political concerns which arise from them, and the problematic issues surrounding the conceptual closure of representation. Sade is placed at the centre of current debates in literary and philosophical criticism, feminist and gender theory, aesthetics, rhetoric and eighteenth-century French cultural history, and this volume will be of interest to a wide range of readers across these disciplines.Trade Review'This excellent collection of essays merits closer consideration by advanced specialists. In addition to making classical texts on Sade published in French available to the English reader, the text offers an updated perspective on more recent scholarship.'
