- 書目註：Family Authorship and Romantic Print Culture explores the conjunction of authorship and family life as a distinctive cultural formation of the Romantic period. Through examination of the material practices and literary texts of families such as the Wordsworths, the Coleridges, theGodwins and the Shelleys, this book traces an alternative history of Romantic authorship, one that lies on the cusp between a vanishing manuscript culture and the dominance of print; that reflects a struggle in Romantic self-identity between communities of feeling and individual genius; and that grapples with an evolving tension between the private andpublic spheres. Surveying the broad range of generic possibilities available to family authors, from poetry to memoir, travel narrative to children's literature, with careful attention to the ways in which their writing was produced and disseminated, Michelle Levy offers one of the fullest accounts of how the social history of the family interacted with the booming print marketplace of the Romantic era Includes bibliographical references and index
