Who was Byron's new mistress, and how did his marriage fare? Answers-sometimes accurate, sometimes not-were tantalizingly at the ready for Romantic-era readers. Confessional poetry, romans a? clef, personal essays, gossip columns, and more gave readers exceptional access to well-known authors. But how close was too close? Widely recognized as a social virtue, familiarity-a feeling of emotional closeness or comforting predictability-could also be dangerous, vulgar, or boring. In The Limits of Familiarity, Eckert argues that these questions influenced literary production in the Romantic period. Uniting reception studies, celebrity studies, and literary history to reveal how anxieties about familiarity shaped both Romanticism and conceptions of authorship, this book encourages us to reflect in our own fraught historical moment on the line between telling all and telling all too much"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aTransits: Literature, Thought and Culture 1650-1850 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aFame$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aAuthors and readers$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aRomanticism$zEngland 610 $aLady Caroline Lamb, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, William Hazlitt, Byron, romanticism, book history, reception studies, romantic celebrity, nineteenth-century print culture, oversharing, fan mail, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Percy Bysshe Shelley. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aFame$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a820.9/145 676 $a820.9145 700 $aEckert$b Lindsey$01726645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910838293203321 996 $aThe Limits of Familiarity$94132579 997 $aUNINA
