In analyzing the nonfiction works of writers such as John Wilson,
J. S. Mill, De Quincy, Ruskin, Arnold, Pater, and Wilde, Jason
Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century
critic's changing ideas about style, rhetoric, and technologies of
communication. In particular, Camlot contributes to our
understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and
Victorian critic's sense of self, as he elaborates the ways
nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and
stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the
production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial
character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when
a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was
fragmented and redistributed into the diverse, localized sites of
an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers
multiplied at midcentury, establishing a new stylistic norm for
criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English
discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic
soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual, and the
later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on
aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile'
style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression.
