  American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 | McGill, Meredith L.
Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, McGill unfolds the legal arguments and political struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades.
Through readings of the work of Dickens, Poe, and Hawthorne, McGill seeks both to analyze how changes in the conditions of publication influenced literary form and to measure what was lost as literary markets became centralized and literary culture became stratified in the early 1850s.
American Literature and the Culture of Reprinting, 1834-1853 delineates a distinctive literary culture that was regional in articulation and transnational in scope, while questioning the grounds of the startlingly recent but nonetheless powerful equation of the national interest with the extension of authors' rights.

Gothic literature was named for the apparent influence of the dark gothic architecture of the period on the genre.
Gothic literature wasn't so different from other genres in form as it was in content and its focus on the "weird" aspects of life.
As Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama puts it, the persona is not the author, but the author’s creation--the voice “through which the author speaks.” It could be a character in the work, or a fabricated onlooker, relaying the sequence of events in a narrative.

 OUP: Autobiographical Writing and British Literature 1783-1834: Treadwell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
The word 'autobiography' is a late eighteenth-century coinage; yet by 1826 it was used as the title for a multi-volume anthology of self-writing, and in 1834 Thomas Carlyle wrote of 'these Autobiographical times of ours'.
This book is the first full study of the phenomenon, examining both the conditions and the practice of autobiographical writing in Romantic literature.
By preserving a continuous relation between the texts and their contexts, this book offers the first proper study of what is actually meant by 'Romantic autobiography'.

Fine arts: literature, politics, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance -- the traditional wisdom says that we cannot really be taught to DO art, but we can be taught to appreciate art.
It can help shape our perceptions (which comes through our emotions, imaginations, and intellect -- in art, experience is presented, not necessarily explained -- the audience can be involved directly; therefore, art is different from history, philosophy, science, etc.).
It is a state in which we view art objectively, while paradoxically empathizing with the characters and events on stage.

 The Myth of Commissioned Illuminated Books: George Romney, Isaac D’Israeli, and “ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY designs…of ...
[2] To this list of friends, however, we can now add Romney, for a previously unexamined auction catalogue from 1834 reveals that he had purchased at least four illuminated books (or five distinct volumes), all of which were described as folio.
They were auctioned in 1834, two years after the death of his only son, Rev. John Romney, but would have had to have been produced by 1799, the date of Romney’s departure from London.
Romney’s owning a set of illuminated books proves that his admiration was both genuine and not limited to the early drawings or to the 1780s, and that Flaxman, assuming he played agent, merits his reputation for being committed to Blake.
