Drawing upon historicist and cultural studies approaches to
literature, this book argues that the Romantic construction of the
self emerged out of the growth of commercial print culture and the
expansion and fragmentation of the reading public beginning in
eighteenth-century Britain. Starting with an overview of
eighteenth-century developments and their impact of authorship,
this book explores the construction of personal and poetic identity
in the writing of Alexander Pope, Thomas Gray, James Beattie,
William Cowper, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Wordsworth.
Arguing for continuity between eighteenth-century literature and
the rise of Romanticism, this groundbreaking book traces the
influence of new print market conditions on the development of the
Romantic poetic self.
