Sommario/riassunto: | This is a wide-ranging and elegantly written study of how 19th century culture thought about, and thought with, the idea of originality. It reveals how plagiarism was not only a theoretical concern of Victorian commentators on literature, but also provided a creative resource for many important writers. |
