Recounting the experiences of less canonical writers, including Richard Savage, Anna Seward and Percival Stockdale, Rounce discusses the inefficacy of apparent literary success, the forms of vanity and folly often found in failed authorship, and the changing perception of literary reputation from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the emergence of Romanticism. The book opens up new ways of thinking about the nature of literary success and failure, given the post-Romantic idea of the doomed creative genius, and provides an alternative narrative to critical accounts of the famous and successful. 517 3 $aFame & Failure 1720-1800 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors, English$y18th century$xPsychology 606 $aFame$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAuthorship$xPublic opinion$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aFailure (Psychology) 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors, English$xPsychology. 615 0$aFame$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aAuthorship$xPublic opinion$xHistory 615 0$aFailure (Psychology) 676 $a820.9/006 700 $aRounce$b Adam$01026706 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462686303321 996 $aFame and failure 1720-1800$92441773 997 $aUNINA
