Abstract
Abstract:Using Lady Caroline Lamb as a case study, this essay models a book historical approach to the author function and introduces the concept of recuperative materiality—repairing one’s reputation through the circulation of material objects. It resituates Lamb within a broad media context and highlights her diverse creative output in sheet music, literary annuals, illustrations in children’s books, and an account book. These objects and the moral reputations of those who produced and consumed them imbued Lamb with respectability after her notorious affair with Byron, and her career reveals the complex media landscape that created and circulated Romantic-era authorial identity.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
