商品簡介
Fang (English, U. of Houston) explores the power that late Romantic authors accorded literary periodicals, through which their writing reached increasing numbers of readers between Waterloo and the first Reform Bill. Political and social upheaval convinced many writers to turn away from the staid book publishing establishment, she says, and new technology made printing much faster and cheaper. She discusses porcelain economy in Lamb's Essays of Elia, James Hogg's Napoleon complex in The Private Memoirs, Corinne and the making of Landon's giftbook style, and Byron's Island and the Liberal.
