Focusing on the representation of authors in narrative and iconographic texts, including novels, biographies, sketches and portrait galleries, Salmon traces the emergence of authorship as a new form of professional identity from the 1820s to the 1850s. Many first-generation Victorian writers, including Carlyle, Dickens, Thackeray, Martineau and Barrett-Browning, contributed to contemporary debates on the 'Dignity of Literature', professional heroism, and the cultural visibility of the 'man of letters'. This study combines a broad mapping of the early Victorian literary field with detailed readings of major texts. The book argues that the key model of professional development within this period is embodied in the narrative form of literary apprenticeship, which inspired such celebrated works as David Copperfield and Aurora Leigh, and that its formative process is the 'disenchantment of the author'. 410 0$aCambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;$v87. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAuthors, English$y19th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors, English 676 $a820.9/008 700 $aSalmon$b Richard$f1965-$0763275 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790698003321 996 $aFormation of the Victorian literary profession$91548370 997 $aUNINA
