This book is a contribution to the new field of literary studies
which is informed by book history and takes interest in the
intersection of the ideal and material aspects of literature. It
studies the ways eighteenth-century English novels, plays and poems
illustrated the changes which the growth of literacy, the
proliferation of writing and the emergence of print marketplace
made in the social and cultural life of Britain and demonstrated
the contingency of the emerging criticism on the technological and
economic conditions of book production. The first part focusses on
the representation of the tensions created by the emergence of
literate society and on the hopes and fears awoken by the expansion
of the cultural public sphere caused by the proliferation of print.
The second part explores the contribution of literature to the
shaping of the roles of authors, readers and patrons in the field
of literary production.
