DeQuincey's charges and the controversy they ignited have shaped readers' responses to the work of such writers as Coleridge, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, and John Clare ever since. But what did plagiarism mean some two hundred years ago in Britain? What was at stake when early nineteenth-century authors levied such charges against each other? How would matters change if we were to evaluate these writers by the standards of their own national moment? And what does our moral investment in plagiarism tell us about ourselves and about our relationship to the Romantic myth of authorship? In Plagiarism and Literary Property in the Romantic Period, Tilar Mazzeo historicizes the discussion of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century plagiarism and demonstrates that it had little in common with our current understanding of the term. The book offers a major reassessment of the role of borrowing, textual appropriation, and narrative mastery in British Romantic literature and provides a new picture of the period and its central aesthetic contests. Above all, Mazzeo challenges the almost exclusive modern association of Romanticism with originality and takes a fresh look at some of the most familiar writings of the period and the controversies surrounding them.Material TextsEnglish poetry19th centuryHistory and criticismIntellectual propertyGreat BritainHistory18th centuryIntellectual propertyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPlagiarismGreat BritainHistory18th centuryPlagiarismGreat BritainHistory19th centuryRomanticismGreat BritainCultural Studies.Literature.English poetryHistory and criticism.Intellectual propertyHistoryIntellectual propertyHistoryPlagiarismHistoryPlagiarismHistoryRomanticism821/.709145Mazzeo Tilar J1135879MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787540603321Plagiarism and literary property in the Romantic period3809389UNINA
