Beskrivning

This book examines how manuscript practices interacted with an expanding print marketplace to nurture and transform the period's literary culture. It unearths the alternative histories manuscripts tell us about British Romantic literary culture, describing the practices by which handwritten documents were written, shared, altered and preserved, and explores the functions they served as instruments of expression and sociability. By demonstrating how literary manuscript culture co-evolved with print culture, this study illuminates the complex entanglements between the media of script and print.

Recensioner i media

This book is a major intervention in the revival of manuscript studies. Rather than treating manuscripts as a form of transmission that was abruptly superseded by the explosion in print, it reveals a culture of composition and circulation that was intrinsic to the media ecology well into the Romantic period.
