Abstract:This paper seeks to incorporate the visual elements of P.B. Shelley’s manuscripts into our interpretation of his works. Shelley criticism is currently overly dependent for its method, the paper argues, on the final intention methodology used by the current generation of scholarly editors of Shelley’s work. While the final intention model is an obvious one for editors to employ, I argue that we need a more inclusive critical methodology when it comes to Shelley’s often complex manuscripts. Using various examples, including discussion of “Ozymandius” and “The Triumph of Life,” the paper questions traditional presuppositions concerning the aesthetics of doddles, scribbles, sketches and apparent accidents such as ink blots.

Abstract:This paper offers a revisionist interpretation of Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Men by attending to the distinct, if idiosyncratic sympathetic strands of her engagement with Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France. Recognizing Wollstonecraft as both a uniquely oriented reviewer of Burke and a political theorist, I trace how her defense of reason does not, as is often suggested, displace feeling, but rather draws upon it to fashion heretofore unconsidered political possibilities. In light of the Revolution’s ambitious revision of essential political interactions between subjects, Wollstonecraft’s proposal recognizes sympathy as an imperative world-building practice.

Abstract:This essay uses the scriptural figure of jubilee to approach agrarian reform proposals made by Thomas Paine and Thomas Spence during the 1790s. It does so in light of Thomas Piketty’s Capital and Ideology, which calls for the incorporation of ideology and culture into the study of economic history. Using Piketty’s concept of “social property,” I show how Paine and Spence envision jubilarian transformations of the idea of private property via the installation of permanent redistributive mechanisms. Jubilee, I argue, is distinct from two better-known images of historical change in the 1790s, millenarianism and perfectibilism.

Abstract:This article explores Scott’s defense of “caricature” in the Novelist’s Library edition of Smollett’s novels and in the Magnum Opus editions of Ivanhoe, The Monastery, and The Talisman. I argue that fantastic and satirically rendered characters legible as “caricatures,” such as Sir Piercie Shafton, could represent the future of historical romance. My focus on what caricature meant to Scott, his readers, and readers of old and new novels in the early nineteenth century, suggests the potential of looking beyond satirical prints and graphic portraiture in an effort to understand caricature’s broader significance in the literary culture of the Romantic period.

Abstract:A few signal commonplaces of Romantic poetry are addressed: first, that the movement executed a “revolution of the word”—or perhaps “revolutions,” given the diversity of Romantic practice; that the shift was announced in Wordsworth’s manifesto, the Lyrical Ballads “Preface,” and most elaborately theorized in Coleridge’s Biographia Literaria; and that while Byron was part of the revolution, he didn’t theorize his practice. But like Blake, because Byron’s work took an explicitly anti-systematic position, his “theory” is regularly presented as an argument by poetic practice: a show and tell performance of a language revolution that, he argued, was notably capacious and free.

No doubt this book will be browsed by scholars interested in one or another author’s house museum, who will read the book through its index. But the book’s best arguments are the ones it compiles slowly, among aggregates of examples. in visiting, and describing this surprising range of idiosyncratic spaces, Watson has found a convincing way to trace the special cultural function performed by the author after death; she has shown us the material manifestation of author-love as a function distributed across spaces and times, as a phenomenon with a stable set of common features: the author effect which the author’s effects repeatedly conjure.
