Literary Relations argues that kinship relations between writers,
both literal and figurative, played a central part in the creation
of a national tradition of English literature. Through studies of
writing relationships, including those between William and Dorothy
Wordsworth, Henry and Sarah Fielding, Frances and Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, and Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley, it shows that
kinship between writers played a significant role not just in
individual lives but in the formation of generic traditions. As
writers looked back to founding fathers, and hoped to have writing
sons, the literary tradition was modelled on the patriarchal
family, imagined in tropes of genealogy and inheritance. This
marginalized but did not exclude women, and the study ranges from
the work of Dryden, with its emphasis on literature as patrilineal
inheritance, to the reception of Austen, which shows uneven but
significant progress towards understanding the woman writer as an
inheriting daughter and generative mother.
