Incorporation, Authorship, and Anglo-American Literature
(1815-1918) is concerned with the new ways in which
nineteenth-century authors came to imagine nationhood in response
to the emergent global market. It investigates how authors
negotiated a largely unregulated global economic space, both
imaginatively-in their representations of it-and pragmatically,
through author-publisher agreements to circumvent the lack of
transnational copyright or through market-driven self-censorship
for different audiences. Until now, scholarship has struggled to
find a single dynamic from which to consider the Anglo-American
transatlantic cultural field, and transnational fields more
generally. This volume offers that single dynamic through an
innovative and interdisciplinary approach that brings together the
research areas of literary and transnational studies with economic
history. It shows how the positional national identities
constructed by nineteenth-century texts were informed by economic
self-interest in the emergent global marketplace. Through a series
of case studies the book analyses how contemporary economic
innovations determined nineteenth-century concepts of national and
cultural self-identification. Presented within four main body
chapters, each considers two case studies of nineteenth-century
authors that are in productive contrast, including pairings between
Herman Melville and Washington Irving, E.D.E.N. Southworth and
Anthony Trollope, Charles Dickens and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and
finally Thomas Hardy and Joseph Conrad.
