'"Originality" is only plagiarizing from a great many', remarked
Rupert Brooke, stealing the line from Voltaire. Questions of
originality, and accusations of plagiarism, are as old as
literature, but different literary cultures have interpreted the
relationship between originality and plagiarism in startlingly
dissimilar ways.
Original Copy investigates and documents the drastic reappraisal
of literary originality and plagiarism which occurred over the
course of the nineteenth century: from the heroic visions of
original authorship that characterised the 1820s and 1830s, through
to the stickle-brick creativity of Oscar Wilde and Lionel Johnson
at the century's end. It reveals how ideas of originality and
plagiarism were not only a theoretical concern of Victorian
commentators on literature, but also provided many important
Victorian writers - Eliot, Dickens, Reade, Pater, Wilde, and Lionel
Johnson among them - with a creative resource. Moving between
numerous different fields of thought and knowledge - literary
criticism, the history of science, manuscript culture, anthropology
- and written in a supple and elegant style, this book shows that
the ideas of originality and plagiarism were the subjects of
nineteenth-century literature, as well as what it was subject to.
