Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture offers the
first study of manuscript-producing coteries as an integral element
of eighteenth-century Britain's literary culture. As a corrective
to literary histories assuming that the dominance of print meant
the demise of a vital scribal culture, the book profiles four
interrelated and influential coteries, focusing on each group's
deployment of traditional scribal practices, on key individuals who
served as bridges between networks, and on the aesthetic and
cultural work performed by the group. The book also explores points
of intersection between coteries and the print trade, whether in
the form of individuals who straddled the two cultures; publishing
events in which the two media regimes collaborated or came into
conflict; literary conventions adapted from manuscript practice to
serve the ends of print; or simply poetry hand-copied from
magazines. Together, these instances demonstrate how scribal modes
shaped modern literary production. This title is also available as
Open Access.
