S. Mill, De Quincy, Ruskin, Arnold, Pater, and Wilde, Jason Camlot provides an important context for the nineteenth-century critic's changing ideas about style, rhetoric, and technologies of communication. In particular, Camlot contributes to our understanding of how new print media affected the Romantic and Victorian critic's sense of self, as he elaborates the ways nineteenth-century critics used their own essays on rhetoric and stylistics to speculate about the changing conditions for the production and reception of ideas and the formulation of authorial character. Camlot argues that the early 1830s mark the moment when a previously coherent tradition of pragmatic rhetoric was fragmented and redistributed into the diverse, localized sites of an emerging periodicals market. Publishing venues for writers multiplied at midcentury, establishing a new stylistic norm for criticism-one that affirmed style as the manifestation of English discipline and objectivity. The figure of the professional critic soon subsumed the authority of the polyglot intellectual, and the later decades of the nineteenth century brought about a debate on aesthetics and criticism that set ideals of Saxon-rooted 'virile' style against more culturally inclusive theories of expression."--Provided by publisher.Nineteenth century (Aldershot, England)Style and the 19th-century British criticEnglish prose literature19th centuryHistory and criticismCriticismGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPeriodicalsPublishingGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEnglish language19th centuryRhetoricEnglish language19th centuryStyleLiterary styleHistory19th centuryMannerism (Literature)English prose literatureHistory and criticism.CriticismHistoryPeriodicalsPublishingHistoryEnglish languageRhetoric.English languageStyle.Literary styleHistoryMannerism (Literature)828/.80809Camlot Jason1967-1872766MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966251503321Style and the nineteenth-century British critic4482556UNINA
