Shortlisted for the 2021 BARS First Book Prize (British Association
for Romantic Studies)​ The Printed Reader explores the
transformative power of reading in the eighteenth century, and how
this was expressed in the fascination with Don Quixote and in a
proliferation of narratives about quixotic readers, readers who
attempt to reproduce and embody their readings. Through
intersecting readings of quixotic narratives, including work by
Charlotte Lennox, Laurence Sterne, George Colman, Richard
Graves, and Elizabeth Hamilton, Amelia Dale argues that
literature was envisaged as imprinting—most crucially, in
gendered terms—the reader’s mind, character, and body. The
Printed Reader brings together key debates concerning quixotic
narratives, print culture, sensibility, empiricism, book history,
and the material text, connecting developments in print technology
to gendered conceptualizations of quixotism. Tracing the meanings
of quixotic readers’ bodies, The Printed Reader claims the social
and political text that is the quixotic reader is structured by the
experiential, affective, and sexual resonances of imprinting and
impressions. Published by Bucknell University Press.
Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
