  • Grub Street (Routledge Revivals)
    Routledge Revivals Grub Street First published in 1972, this is the first detailed study of the milieu of the eighteenth-century literary hack and its significance in Augustan literature. Although the modern term ‘Grub Street’ has declined into vague metaphor, for the Augustan satirists it embodied not only an actual place but an emphatic lifestyle. Pat Rogers shows that the major satirists – Pope, Swift and Fielding – built a potent fiction surrounding the real circumstances in which the scribblers lived, and the impor- tance of this aspect of their writing. The author first locates the original Grub Street, in what is now the Barbican, and then presents a detailed topographical tour of the sur- rounding area. With studies of a number of key authors, as well as the modern and metaphorical development of the term ‘Grub Street’, this book offers comprehensive insight into the nature of Augustan litera- ture and the social conditions and concerns that inspired it.

  • Of Grubs and Other Insects: Constructing the Categories of “Ephemera” and “Literature” in Eighteenth-Century British Writing
    Book History 15 (2012), 48-70 Of Grubs and Other Insects: Constructing the Categories of “Ephemera” and “Literature” in Eighteenth-Century British Writing Paula McDowell Abstract The category “ephemera,” like the category “Literature,” is a classification that does powerful rhetorical, practical, ideological, and disciplinary work. This essay historicizes these value-laden classifications across disciplinary and period boundaries. It begins by suggesting how librarians and collectors have defined ephemera since the 1960s, then steps back to the eighteenth century in Britain, arguing that the categories of “ephemera” and “Literature” were reciprocally constructed parts of a classification system that was a response to the commercialization of letters and the proliferation of print. But today, new media technologies and digital archives are destabilizing centuries-old categorical distinctions, and eighteenth-century authors’ classification work can help us to think through the challenges and opportunities we face in the digital age Of Grubs and Other Insects: Constructing the Categories of “Ephemera” and “Literature” in Eighteenth-Century British Writing Paula McDowell Book History, Volume 15, 2012, pp. 48-70 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/bh.2012.0009 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/488252 Access provided by New York University (25 Jun 2017 22:09 GMT) Of Grubs and Other Insects Constructing the Categories of “Ephemera” and “Literature” in Eighteenth-Century

  • The Library of America Interviews David S. Shields About American Poetry of the 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    The Library of America Interviews David S. Shields about American Poetry of the 17th and 18th Centuries In connection with the publication in October 2007 of American Poetry: The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries , edited by David S. Shields, Rich Kelley conducted this exclusive interview for The Library of America e- Newsletter. Sign up for the free monthly e-Newsletter at www.loa.org . Collecting more than 300 poems by 108 poets, including many whose work has never been published before, American Poetry: The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries is arguably the definitive anthology of early American poetry. What makes this volume so distinctive? There have been very few attempts at creating a comprehensive anthol - ogy of early American poetry. Samuel Kettell did it in the early 19th century. The last person to attempt this was Kenneth Silverman over a generation ago, and his volume had less than a quarter of the poems included here. This collection could not have been made 15 years ago, when a change took place in our under - standing of how early American culture operated. Until that point literary inves - tigators thought that everything that was important was printed . Then they discovered that, prior to the American Revolution, the majority of belletristic works and over 80% of what was written in poetic form appeared only in manu - script. Suddenly, the research paradigm changed and people begin to look in family papers and in commonplace books. Since about 1990 there has been this enormous recovery of the poetic literature, which is reflected in this collection. This volume redraws the landscape of early American poetry.

  • The Antitheatrical Body: Puritans and Performance in Early Modern England, 1577-1620
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTITHEATRICAL BODY: PURITANS AND PERFORMANCE IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND, 1577-1620 Simon W. du Toit, Ph.D., 2008 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Theatre and Performance Studies The antitheatrical pamphlets published in Shakespeare’s England provide an excellent view of the early modern religious engagement with the stage. However, critics have discussed the antitheatrical pamphlets most often by examining the theology or psychology they seem to represent. This study offers an interdisciplinary approach, as it stands at the shifting boundaries between performance studies, religious studies, and theatre historiography. It offers a close reading of puritan religious experience in the “ethnographic grain,”1 reading the struggle between the puritan and the stage through the lens of a contemporary discourse of embodiment: early modern humoral theory. Puritan practitioners of “spiritual physick” appropriated humoral physiology and integrated it with Calvinist theology to produce the embodied authority of prophetic performative speech. This study’s central claim is 1Robert Darnton, The Great Cat Massacre, and Other Episodes in French Cultural History, (New York: Vintage, 1985). that the struggle between the antitheatrical writers and the stage was a social drama, in which each side fought for social control of the authority of performative speech. I suggest that performance of prophetic speech is the primary signifier of puritan identity in English puritan culture. What distinctively identifies the puritan body is not physiological difference, but cultural practice, visible in the bodily dispositions constructed in puritan culture. The puritan body performs a paradox: it is closed, bridled, contained, and ordered; and it is open, permeable, passionately disclosing, and subject to dangerous motions and disorder.

  • Gods of Modern Grub Street; Impressions of Contemporary Author"
    "Gods of modern Grub street; impressions of contemporary author" by Arthur St. John Adcock THOMAS HARDY Those who dissent from Byron's dictum that Keats was ''snuffed out by an article" usually add that no author was ever killed by criticism; yet there seems little doubt that the critics killed Thomas Hardy the novelist, and our only consolation is that from the ashes of the novelist, phoenix-like rose Thomas Hardy the Poet. As a novelist, Hardy began and finished his career in the days of Victoria, but though he has only been asserting himself as a poet since then, his earliest verse was written in the sixties; his first collection of poetry, the "Wessex Poems," appeared in 1898, and his second in the closing year of the Queen's reign. These facts should give us pause when we are disposed to sneer again at Victorian literature. Even the youngest scribe among us is constrained to grant the greatness of this living Victorian, so if we insist that the Victorians are over-rated we imply some disparagement of their successors, who have admittedly produced no novelists that rank so high as Hardy and few poets, if any, that rank higher. Born at Upper Bockhampton, a village near Dor- chester, on the 2nd June, 1840, Mr. Hardy pa 3 - 4 GODS OF MODERN GRUB STREET his childhood and youth amid the scenes and people that were, in due season, to serve as material for his stories and poems.

  • A Late Eighteenth-Century Satire of Grub Street
    “The Brain-Sucker: Or, the Distress of Authorship”: A Late Eighteenth-Century Satire of Grub Street INGO BERENSMEYER, GERO GUTTZEIT,1 ALISE JAMESON2 Abstract: Originally printed in the first issue of The British Mercury in 1787, “The Brain-Sucker: Or, the Distress of Authorship” is a piece of satirical short fiction that has so far received only little attention in discussions of eighteenth-century print culture and practices of authorship. Probably written by the Scottish radical John Oswald (c. 1760-1793), “The Brain-Sucker” is told in the form of a letter by a farmer who tells an absent friend about his unfortunate son Dick, whose brain has become infected by poetry. This “disorder” leads Dick to London, where he falls prey to a ruthless publisher, known as “the Brain- sucker”, who keeps him like a slave in a Grub Street garret. The farmer then travels to London to save his son from the clutches of the Brain-Sucker. We present the text, for the first time, in a critical edition, collated from the three surviving copies, with textual and explanatory notes. In the accompanying essay, we discuss the text’s context of origin in late eighteenth-century Grub Street and the cultural implications of its satirical presentation of authorship. Contributor Biographies: Ingo Berensmeyer is Professor of English and American Literature at Justus Liebig University Giessen and Visiting Professor of English Literature and Culture at Ghent University. His research interests are in Shakespeare and the early modern period, literary theory and aesthetics, media and cultural ecology, and Britain in the 1950s.
