The article explores forms that error may take in a historical work, here Daniel Defoe's Tour thro' Britain. An introduction attempts to place the book in relation to the production of knowledge, as compared with books in allied genres. The first main section considers the nature and causes of error, divided into categories of culpable and venial mistakes. The second looks at the way in which the Tour textualizes the author's doubts concerning the accuracy of sources. The third reviews in detail three cases where Defoe's error has become evident in the light of modern scholarly knowledge, techniques, and procedures. A brief conclusion suggests implications for our approach to literature of the past.

Abstract: This essay examines the The Troublers of Israel in the context of Methodism's uneasy, and seemingly contradictory, relationship with the theatre and argues that its anonymous author purposefully adapted the operatic form to achieve his rhetorical, and religious, aims. Even though this tactic has confused bibliographers who have miscategorized the piece as an anti-Methodist work since the nineteenth century, the operatic form, like George Whitefield's preaching, effectively demonstrates how the Methodists coopted and redeployed the dramatic arts as a means of conveying their religious message while reframing and refuting anti-Methodist arguments. The Troublers provides further evidence, in addition to Whitefield's preaching, that the Methodists recognized the power of the dramatic arts to influence belief and behaviour at the same time they condemned more mainstream forms of plays and playgoing.

This article investigates Jane Austen's network of bodily metaphors in Persuasion, re-examining ‘bloom’ in the context of its pair, ‘ruin’. While the novel is traditionally understood as a progress narrative that moves from Anne's self-description as being ‘in ruins’ to the restoration of her ‘bloom’, the article examines the inconsistency around Anne's appearance and ‘bloom’ throughout the novel, contending that rather than presenting a progression, the novel stages the problematics of physiognomy, of reading the body as an index of internal feeling. I argue that by situating Austen's metaphors within context of picturesque writing on ruins and ‘roughness’ from William Gilpin and Uvedale Price, we can conceive of weathered, worn out, broken, pierced, and ruined bodies as the rough texture that animates Persuasion.
