This is the first book to examine how Romantic writers transformed
poetic collections to reach new audiences. In a series of case
studies, Michael Gamer shows Romantic poets to be fundamentally
social authors: working closely with booksellers, intimately
involved in literary production, and resolutely concerned with
current readers even as they presented themselves as disinterested
artists writing for posterity. Exploding the myth of Romantic poets
as naive, unworldly, or unconcerned with the practical aspects of
literary production, this study shows them instead to be engaged
with intellectual property, profit and loss, and the power of
reprinting to reshape literary reputation. Gamer offers a fresh
perspective on how we think about poetic revision, placing it
between aesthetic and economic registers and foregrounding the
centrality of poetic collections rather than individual poems to
the construction of literary careers.
