No one felt this more keenly than authors from Ireland, Scotland, and the United States who struggled to establish their own national literary traditions while publishing in the English metropolis. Authors such as Maria Edgeworth, Sydney Owenson, Walter Scott, Washington Irving, and James Fenimore Cooper devised a range of strategies to transcend the national rivalries of the literary field. By writing prefaces and footnotes addressed to a foreign audience, revising texts specifically for London markets, and celebrating national particularity, provincial authors appealed to English readers with idealistic stories of cross-cultural communion. From within the messy and uneven marketplace for books, Joseph Rezek argues, provincial authors sought to exalt and purify literary exchange. In so doing, they helped shape the Romantic-era belief that literature inhabits an autonomous sphere in society. London and the Making of Provincial Literature tells an ambitious story about the mutual entanglement of the history of books and the history of aesthetics in the first three decades of the nineteenth century. Situated between local literary scenes and a distant cultural capital, enterprising provincial authors and publishers worked to maximize success in London and to burnish their reputations and build their industry at home. Examining the production of books and the circulation of material texts between London and the provincial centers of Dublin, Edinburgh, and Philadelphia, Rezek claims that the publishing vortex of London inspired a dynamic array of economic and aesthetic practices that shaped an era in literary history. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIrish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScottish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xScottish authors$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics in literature 606 $aLiterature$xAesthetics 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIrish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScottish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xScottish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics in literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xAesthetics. 676 $a820.9/007 700 $aRezek$b Joseph$01555831 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797347303321 996 $aLondon and the making of provincial literature$93818053 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00781nas 2200301- 450 001 9910647286203321 005 20240114213020.0 011 $a2673-8945 035 $a(OCoLC)1281898906 035 $a(CKB)4100000011903303 035 $a(CONSER)--2023223542 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011903303 100 $a20211102a20219999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurunu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aArchitecture 210 1$aBasel :$cMDPI,$d2021- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 606 $aArchitecture$vPeriodicals 615 0$aArchitecture 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910647286203321 996 $aARCHITECTURE$9326223 997 $aUNINA
