Abstract:Henry Cockburn’s memoirs borrow formal qualities from Walter Scott’s novels. Despite being a Whig political reformer, Cockburn represented as exciting and picturesque the very aspects of Edinburgh’s past that his reforms did away with. Examining how the form of Cockburn’s memoirs was at odds with their overtly stated politics demonstrates the polyvalent qualities of an anecdote book and refocuses Romantic literary studies on that no-longer-popular remnant of New Historicism: the anecdote. Likewise, Cockburn’s Memorials exemplify the kinds of moral, formal, and political negotiations by which authors mediated the late eighteenth century for their nineteenth-century readers.

Abstract:This essay reads displaced Black voices and figures in abolitionist art and poetry as African Indigenes. It discusses the beads around the necks of two figures in Romantic visual culture. The first is a painting of a real Senegalese man, Prince Peter Panah, with Carl Bernhard Wädstrom by Carl Frederik Von Breda. The second is a reinterpretation of this painting in a mezzotint, The Benevolent Effects of Abolishing Slavery, or the Planter Instructing His N--- by W. Pyott, 1792. The beads in both images articulate Black diasporic resistance and Indigeneity that puncture the totality of Romantic abolitionism’s framing.

Abstract:In Whim for Whim, Maria Edgeworth juxtaposes the depiction of a Black African according to the tropes of sentimental abolitionist rhetoric and staged West Indian dialect with depictions of both crooked, class-climbing servants and foolish, fashionable elites. The significance of this juxtaposition is highlighted through the play’s exploration of purported Illuminati principles, and it ultimately satirizes fashionable elites for their misappropriation of abolitionist discourse and the failure of their abolitionist commitments.

Abstract:This essay uses the author’s translation of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind” into the Ojibwe language as a springboard to consider what Indigenous languages can offer Romantic studies. By examining divergences as well as unexpected convergences between the versions, I provide an example not only of how Indigenous perspectives reveal new aspects of Romantic poetry, but also of how Indigenous languages are capacious enough to explore these topics from seemingly foreign contexts from a solidly Indigenous-rooted worldview.

Abstract:The article explores the changes to British print culture in the 1820s which enabled mass production of gift annuals, decorative and illustrated anthologies of poems and stories. It argues that gift-annual poetry extends the characteristic self-reflexivity of Romantic poetry to the technological moment of the 1820s and to questions of value raised by the materiality of books in the commercial marketplace. In the aesthetic interventions and experiments of gift-annual poems, annual poets are self-consciously engaging with the accelerated mechanical reproduction and the increased circulation of literary books for profit in a capitalist marketplace.
