Through case studies from diverse fields of cultural studies, this
collection examines how different constructions of identity were
mediated in England during the long eighteenth century. While the
concept of identity has received much critical attention, the
question of how identities were mediated usually remains implicit.
This volume engages in a critical discussion of the connection
between historically specific categories of identity determined by
class, gender, nationality, religion, political factions and age,
and the media available at the time, including novels, newspapers,
trial reports, images and the theatre. Representative case studies
are the arrival of children's literature as a genre, the creation
of masculine citizenship in Defoe's novels, the performance of
gendered and national identities by the actress Kitty Clive or in
plays by Henry Fielding and Richard Sheridan, fashion and the
public sphere, the emergence of the Whig and Tory parties, the
radical culture of the 1790s, and visual representations of
domestic and imperial landscape. Recognizing the proliferation of
identities in the epoch, these essays explore the ways in which
different media determined constructions of identity and were in
turn shaped by them.
