Abstract
Abstract:This article reads Romantic literature through the medium of the commonplace book. It asks how Romantic readers doubly articulated place in this genre, within both the volume and the social world around it. I trace what happens to conceptions of women’s writing and authorship when we reconceptualize reading and writing as blended, inseparable activities that do not terminate in publication but move iteratively through cycles of reading and writing, print and manuscript. The focus is on one of a pair of nineteenth-century commonplace books written by Louisa Wildman and her husband, owners and inhabitants of Byron's former home, Newstead Abbey.
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.
