Literary Patronage in England, 1650-1800
The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain
This volume covers the history of printing and publishing from the lapse of government licensing of printed works in 1695 to the development of publishing as a specialist commercial undertaking and the industrialization of book production around 1830. During this period, literacy rose and the world of print became an integral part of everyday life, a phenomenon that had profound effects on politics and commerce, on literature and cultural identit…
Literary Patronage in England, 1650–1800
This is the first comprehensive study of the system of literary patronage in early modern England and it demonstrates that far from declining by 1750 - as many commentators have suggested - the system persisted, albeit in altered forms, throughout the eighteenth century. Combining the perspectives of literary, social and political history, Dustin Griffin lays out the workings of the patronage system and shows how authors wrote within that system,…

Arguments of Augustan Wit
Regaining Paradise
Redefining Georgic
Cowper's Task strikes most readers as a long and meandering discursive poem, divided rather arbitrarily into six books, and unified by little more than its concern with rural pleasures.

Milton and the Decline of Epic in the Eighteenth Century
O F THE TRADITIONAL English poetic genres in which Milton excelled, at least three-the epic, the pastoral elegy, and the sonnet-go into serious if not terminal decline during the eighteenth century. It is tempting to see a causal relationship here. Although no critic, to my knowledge, has addressed the matter directly, general suggestions about Milton's influence for good or ill and the redirection of the impulse into mock-heroic forms or into th…

Johnson's Funeral Writings
So many have died before us, that our deaths can supply but few materials for a poet . . . after so many ... funeral dirges he must be highly favored by nature or by fortune who says anything not said before.' Johnson's remark may have been prompted by the torrent of bad elegy in the eighteenth century,2 much of it servile imitation of Lycidas and of Gray's Elegy, or melancholy effusion patterned after Young's wildly popular Night Thoughts (1742)…
