While the concept of identity has received much critical attention, the question of how identities were mediated usually remains implicit. This volume engages in a critical discussion of the connection between historically specific categories of identity determined by class, gender, nationality, religion, political factions and age, and the media available at the time, including novels, newspapers, trial reports, images and the theatre. Representative case studies are the arrival of children's literature as a genre, the creation of masculine citizenship in Defoe's novels, the performance of gendered and national identities by the actress Kitty Clive or in plays by Henry Fielding and Richard Sheridan, fashion and the public sphere, the emergence of the Whig and Tory parties, the radical culture of the 1790s, and visual representations of domestic and imperial landscape. Recognizing the proliferation of identities in the epoch, these essays explore the ways in which different media determined constructions of identity and were in turn shaped by them. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, English, in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) and mass media$zEngland 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aMediation$zEngland$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, English, in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) and mass media 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aMediation$xHistory. 676 $a820.9/353 701 $aKarremann$b Isabel$0936918 701 $aMuller$b Anja$f1969 September 24-$0933962 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154980903321 996 $aMediating identities in eighteenth-century England$92110171 997 $aUNINA
