As a corrective to literary histories assuming that the dominance of print meant the demise of a vital scribal culture, the book profiles four interrelated and influential coteries, focusing on each group’s deployment of traditional scribal practices, on key individuals who served as bridges between networks, and on the aesthetic and cultural work performed by the group. Literary Coteries also explores points of intersection between coteries and the print trade, whether in the form of individuals who straddled the two cultures; publishing events in which the two media regimes collaborated or came into conflict; literary conventions adapted from manuscript practice to serve the ends of print; or simply poetry hand-copied from magazines. Together, these instances demonstrate how scribal modes shaped modern literary production. 2016-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-05 13:39:30 2020-04-01T14:08:09Z 2020-04-01T14:08:09Z 2016 book 611255 OCN: 956672135 9781107128163 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/37512 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 611255.pdf http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/literature/english-literature-1700-1830/literary-coteries-and-making-modern-print-culture-17401790?forma Cambridge University Press 10.26530/OAPEN_611255 103458 10.26530/OAPEN_611255 7607a2d0-47af-490f-9d2a-8c9340266f8a b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9781107128163 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Cambridge, UK 103458 KU Round 2 650005 Knowledge Unlatched open access
