Focussing on Alexander Pope?s Dunciads and a wide selection of Lord Byron?s poems, Lahrsow shows that literary self-annotations rarely just explain a text. Rather, they multiply meanings and pit different voices against each other. Self-annotations serve to ambiguate the author?s self-presentation as well as the genre, tone, and overall interpretation of a text.The study also examines how notes were employed for ?social networking? and how authors used self-annotations to address, and differentiate between, various groups of readerships.Additionally, the volume sheds light on the wider literary and cultural context of self-annotations: How common were they during the long eighteenth century? What conventions governed them? And were they even read? The study hence combines literary analysis with insights into book history and the history of reading. 410 0$aBeitra?ge zur englischen und amerikanischen Literatur ;$vVolume 42. 606 $aparatexts 606 $afootnotes 606 $aeighteenth century 606 $aRomanticism 606 $aself-commentary 606 $aself-presentation 606 $aThe Dunciad 615 4$aparatexts 615 4$afootnotes 615 4$aeighteenth century 615 4$aRomanticism 615 4$aself-commentary 615 4$aself-presentation 615 4$aThe Dunciad 676 $a820.9/00912 700 $aLahrsow$b Miriam$4aut$01427059 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743399503321 996 $aThe Author as Annotator$93559827 997 $aUNINA
