This innovative collection challenges the traditional focus on
solitary genius by examining the rich diversity of literary
couplings and collaborations from the early modern to the
postmodern period. Literary Couplings explores some of the
best-known literary partnerships--from the Sidneys to Boswell and
Johnson to Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes--and also includes
lesser-known collaborators such as Daphne Marlatt and Betsy
Warland. The essays place famous authors such as Samuel Coleridge,
Oscar Wilde, and William Butler Yeats in new contexts; reassess
overlooked members of writing partnerships; and throw new light on
texts that have been marginalized due to their collaborative
nature. By integrating historical studies with authorship theory,
"Literary Couplings" goes beyond static notions of the writing
"couple" to explore literary couplings created by readers, critics,
historians, and publishers as well as by writers themselves, thus
expanding our understanding of authorship.
