Abstract
Abstract:This essay examines the composition, publication and reception of Dorothy Wordsworth’s Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A.D. 1803. Manuscript versions of Recollections are interpreted as sociable texts exchanged by marginal women figures of the Wordsworths’ literary circle; as tools for Romantic cooperative writing, moving between prose and verse; and as later life emblems of agency and mobility. Building on existing research on literary sociability as well as manuscript circulation, this essay considers the permeable nature of Romantic women’s books, resituating them as intrinsic to the development of individual and communal literary identities and bibliographies in the period.
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.
