Special issue "Mediating Richardson,"
introduction by Louise Curran & Sören Hammerschmidt

http://muse.jhu.edu/article/641781

#18thcentury #SamuelRichardson #AcWri #C18th #18thC
#ThrowbackThursday @ASECS

Mediation, Authorship, and Samuel Richardson: An Introduction by Louise Curran and Sören Hammerschmidt In the “General Editors’ Preface” to The Cambridge Edition of The Correspondence of Samuel Richardson, Thomas Keymer and Peter Sabor describe how Richardson’s archive of letters “exhibit[s] a vigorous manuscript culture in which correspondences comingle, overlap and interact, generating fresh debate and additional writing through the mechanisms of epistolary sociability.”1 Such epistolary activity is only one example of how Richardson’s works and his character as an author were constructed and continually revised in his lifetime and in the years after his death. The recent publication of the first volumes of a new scholarly edition of Richardson’s complete works and correspondence is a timely moment to reflect on current developments in research on Richardson, and to take particular note of its turn towards more networked, dispersed, or mediated models of authorship. New work on authorship focuses on taking account of the material cultures of production and reception within which writers, readers, and texts of the period were embedded. ...

"A Novel in Ruins: Thomas Amory’s Antiquarianism," by Maggie McGowan
ECF Fall 2022
https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/50/article/870153
#18thCentury #C18th #18thC @ASECS

Abstract: This essay considers Thomas Amory’s Memoirs of the Lives of Several Ladies of Great Britain (1755) and The Life and Opinions of John Buncle, Esq. (1756) as experiments in the novel form. Amory’s novels flout many of the genre’s central conventions—like plot and character development—and instead present a deluge of facts, theories, and natural historical and antiquarian descriptions. I argue that these novels offer a peculiar sort of formal or fictional realism that attends not to particular people or places but to the general impressions of objects and ideas. In light of William Stukeley’s antiquarianism, which includes a model for what I label an “ecstatic epistemology” that affectively registers a general sense of the whole in excess of a ruin’s fragments, I read the formal peculiarities of Amory’s novels as a means for producing knowledge about the forms of ideas. By attaching feelings to these ideas—feelings that range from boredom to sublimity— Amory’s novels can give us the general sense of their form.
