In this groundbreaking work of revisionary literary history,
Marilyn Butler traces the imagining of alternative versions of the
nation in eighteenth-century Britain, both in the works of a series
of well-known poets (Akenside, Thomson, Gray, Collins, Chatterton,
Macpherson, Blake) and in the differing accounts of the national
culture offered by eighteenth-century antiquarians and literary
historians. She charts the beginnings in eighteenth-century Britain
of what is now called cultural history, exploring how and why it
developed, and the issues at stake. Her interest is not simply in a
succession of great writers, but in the politics of a wider
culture, in which writers, scholars, publishers, editors,
booksellers, readers all play their parts. For more than thirty
years, Marilyn Butler was a towering presence in eighteenth-century
and romantic studies, and this major work is published for the
first time.
