Focusing on the reception of Scottish Enlightenment ideas, and ranging across an Edinburgh print shop, an excluded religious community in the North of England, and the story worlds of novelists and poets, the study reveals compilation to be a politically resistant activity: it challenged centralizing and homogenizing tendencies within the growing British empire in the latter half of the eighteenth century and actively built counternarratives. Rebeca Araya Acosta offers a fresh view of eighteenth-century literary transaction and shows how practices of compilation in the period were more diversified and had a far greater impact on readers than their modern descendants. Rebeca Araya Acosta is Lecturer in the English department of Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. Her main research area is the long eighteenth century with an emphasis on print culture and the interaction between science and literature. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print,$x2634-6524 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aBooks$xHistory 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aHistory of the Book 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aBooks$xHistory. 615 14$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aHistory of the Book. 676 $a809.033 700 $aAcosta$b Rebeca Araya$01766157 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910882889003321 996 $aCompiling Texts in Eighteenth-Century Britain$94209921 997 $aUNINA
