The edition brings together the known writings in poetry and prose
of Edward Rushton (1756--1814). Blinded by trachoma after an
outbreak on the slaving ship in which he was a young officer,
Rushton returned to Liverpool to scratch a living as a publican,
newspaper editor, and finally bookseller and publisher. In his day
Rushton was a well-known Liverpool poet and reformer, with an
impressively wide range of causes (the Liverpool Blind School, the
Liverpool Marine Society, and many radical political groups). Many
of his songs, particularly the marine ballads, were very familiar
in Britain and America. In the later Victorian period, as a
particular version of romanticism began to dominate literary
sensibilities, Rushton's overt politics fell from favour and he
became rather obscure, at least by comparison with his like-minded
(but much better off) friend William Roscoe. As the history of
slavery abolition and other radical causes has come to be
re-examined, the bicentenary of Rushton's death, falling in
November 2014, has suggested an opportunity to take a new look at
his remarkable career and impressive body of work. There has never
been a critical edition of Rushton's poems. His own 1806 edition
omits much, including what is his best-known work in modern times,
the anti-slavery West-Indian Eclogues of 1787; the posthumous 1824
edition omits much from the 1806 collection while drawing in other
work. The present edition works from the earliest datable sources,
in newspapers, chapbooks, periodicals, and broadsides, providing a
clean text with significant revisions and variants noted in the
commentary. Unfamiliar words are glossed, and brief introductions
and contextual commentaries, informed by the latest scholarship,
are given for each piece of writing.
Published in 1999, this work offers a balanced interdisciplinary
account of literary and criminal forgery as they were practised,
constructed and theorized in the 18th century as a corollary of the
new documents of the financial revolution: banknotes, bills of
exchange and promissory notes. The book surveys the crime and its
mythology, placing well-known cases such as that of Dr. William
Dodd within the pattern of 400 prosecutions from the period
1715-1780. In parallel, accounts of some major instances of
literary forgery are rooted in a more pervasive culture in which
"forgery" was discovered in many developing areas of literary
practice: scholarly editing, historiography and antiquarianism. One
surprising aspect of this study is the extent to which literary
figures were involved in matters of criminal as well as literary
forgery. It is suggested that the two kinds of forgery have
unexpected connections with each other through the economy of
literature which, following the development of copyright, regarded
the signature of authorship as the legal site of literary
authenticity, and through the economic and legal culture of forgery
prosecutions, in which bogus "writing" came to signify a whole
range of problems of personal and literary character. The study is
based on a very large body of diverse material, from major texts
such as "The Dunciad" and "Lives of the English Poets" to hundreds
of minor poems, controversial pamphlets, criminal biographies,
newspapers, legal records and manuscripts.
Explaining Cameron's Catastrophe uses expert analyses of hundreds
of surveys and focus groups run by Ipsos MORI to make sense of the

Many guides to the work of Alexander Pope have been written, but The Complete Critical Guide to Alexander Pope is unique in offering a comprehensive introduction to not only his works but the contexts from which they emerged and the critical debates they have engendered. As with all Guides in this popular series, student readers are equipped and encouraged to make their own critical readings. Paul Baines provides a broad overview and carefully explains the full range of often very different critical interpretations. Cross-references between sections and guides to further reading suggest numerous possibilities for further study.

Alexander Pope and his satirical poetry loom large in Eighteenth Century Studies and on any introduction to English Literature. Often studies alongside Dryden and Swift, Pope is unavoidable on any course focusing on satire. Students have long found Pope difficult, partly because of the absence of any truly introductory guide to his work, life and times. The Complete Critical Guide to Alexander Pope will finally make Pope accessible.

The Poems of Alexander Pope is a multi-volume edition of the poetry
of Alexander Pope (1688-1744) resulting from a thorough reappraisal
of his work, from composition through to reception. The annotations
and headnotes are full and informative, and the layout is designed
to enable the reader to navigate easily between the poems, the
record of variants and the editorial commentary. The poems are
presented in chronological order of publication, with original
capitalisation, italicisation, punctuation and spelling preserved.
A record of variants to each poem illustrates the changes Pope made
in subsequent editions, and full editorial annotation sets the
poems in appropriate literary, historical and cultural contexts.
This volume contains the poetry that appeared between 1709 and
1714, including the Pastorals and the 'Rape of the Locke'. Much of
the publication history of these poems shows Pope collaborating
with the major writers and publishers of his time, as might be
expected of a writer whose preparation for a literary career was so
meticulous. But Pope was also beginning to establish himself on his
own account, publishing (at first anonymously) a substantial
statement of ideas, An Essay on Criticism. Another separate
pamphlet, Windsor-Forest, constituted his distinctive contribution
to the heavy freight of 'Peace' poems prompted by the Treaty of
Utrecht. In all, the poems presented in this volume reveal an
engagement with the literary and publishing industry that is at
once amenable and independent.

How do things come to stand for something other than themselves?
An understanding of the ontology of relations allows for a
compelling account of the action of signs. The Primacy of Semiosis
is concerned with the ontology of relations and semiosis, the
action of signs. Drawing upon the work of Gilles Deleuze, John
Deely, and John Poinsot, Paul Bains focuses on the claim that
relations are 'external' to their terms, and seeks to give an
ontological account of this purported externality of
relations.
Bains develops the proposition, first made in 1632 by John Poinsot
(John of St. Thomas), that, ontologically, signs are relations
whose whole being is in esse ad ('being-toward'). Furthermore,
relations are found to be univocal in their being as relations.
This univocity of being is antecedent to the division between 'ens
rationis' and 'ens reale'. The ontology of relations Bains presents
is thus neither mind-dependent nor mind-independent insofar as the
rationale of the relation is concerned.
The book includes chapters on Deleuze and Deely on relations, Jacob
von Uexkull and Heidegger on Umwelten (self-worlds), Maturana and
Varela on Autopoieis. It provides the vicarious causality, by way
of the scholastic doctrine of the 'species', that is now being
resuscitated by Graham Harman and the emerging school of 'object
oriented ontology'.
The Primacy of Semiosis provides a semiotic that subverts the
opposition between realism and idealism; one in which what have
been called 'nature' and 'culture' interpenetrate in an expanding
collective of human and non-human. Bains' work promises to be a
touchstone for semiotic discussion for years to come.
An extremely fluent and effective text designed to be a complete
resource for single semester courses, this book has a unique
combination of text, case studies and readings--as well as a
comprehensive companion website, new for this edition. The emphasis
is on practicality: the text encourages the student to engage with
the debate itself and not just the theory. Topics are tackled in
new and creative ways and include the latest innovations and
developments in the field.
Edmund Curll was a notorious figure among the publishers of the
early eighteenth century: for his boldness, his lack of scruple,
his publication of work without author's consent, and his taste for
erotic and scandalous publications. He was in legal trouble on
several occasions for piracy and copyright infringement,
unauthorized publication of the works of peers, and for seditious,
blasphemous, and obscene publications. He stood in the pillory in
1728 for seditious libel. Above all, he was the constant target of
the greatest poet and satirist of his age, Alexander Pope, whose
work he pirated whenever he could and who responded with direct
physical revenge (an emetic slipped into a drink) and persistent
malign caricature. The war between Pope and Curll typifies some of
the main cultural battles being waged between creativity and
business. The story has normally been told from the poet's point of
view, though more recently Curll has been celebrated as a kind of
literary freedom-fighter; this book, the first full biography of
Curll since Ralph Straus's The Unspeakable Curll (1927), seeks to
give a balanced and thoroughly-researched account of Curll's career
in publishing between 1706 and 1747, untangling the mistakes and
misrepresentations that have accrued over the years and restoring a
clear sense of perspective to Curll's dealings in the literary
marketplace. It examines the full range of Curll's output,
including his notable antiquarian series, and uses extensive
archive material to detail Curll's legal and other troubles. For
the first time, what is known about this strange, interesting, and
awkward figure is authoritatively told.
The Long 18th Century surveys the social and cultural matrices of
British literature of the period 1660-1790. Taking a thematic
approach, the book situates literary texts in the contexts from
which they took their distinctive character and force. Literature
shaped and responded to seismic political and economic changes, the
problems of religious belief, the development of the science of
mind and personality, conflict between country and city, and
expanding world horizons. This book examines the effects of these
sometimes conflicting pressures on poetry, prose and drama.
