Description: Literature, Commerce, and the Spectacle of Modernity, 17501800 by Paul Keen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book explores the ways that authors responded to a sense of unprecedented cultural and technological change. Together, their interventions helped to shape the values and tensions that informed Britains sense of its own extraordinary modernity. Their insights have never been more pertinent. Publisher Description Paul Keen explores how a consumer revolution which reached its peak in the second half of the eighteenth century shaped debates about the role of literature in a polite modern nation, and tells the story of the resourcefulness with which many writers responded to these pressures. From dream reveries which mocked their own entrepreneurial commitments, such as Oliver Goldsmiths account of selling his work at a Fashion Fair on the frozen Thames, to the Microcosms mock plan to establish a licensed warehouse for wit, writers insistently tied their literary achievements to a sophisticated understanding of the uncertain complexities of a modern transactional society. This book combines a new understanding of late eighteenth-century literature with the materialist and sociological imperatives of book history and theoretically inflected approaches to cultural history. Author Biography Paul Keen is Professor of English at Carleton University.
