Abstract

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.

机械复制、商品与礼品年度美学

摘要：本文探讨了19世纪20年代英国印刷文化的变化，这种变化使礼品年刊、装饰和插图诗集和故事集得以大规模生产。它认为，礼品年度诗歌将浪漫主义诗歌特有的自我反思性延伸到了19世纪20年代的技术时刻，以及书籍在商业市场中的物质性所提出的价值问题。在礼物年度诗歌的美学干预和实验中，年度诗人自觉地参与了资本主义市场中加速的机械复制和文学书籍发行量的增加。

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
