Eighteenth-Century Transplantations
Author: Anna Paluchowska-Messing
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040132332
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
This collection studies eighteenth-century British literature as enmeshed within a dynamic intercultural traffic, participating in the import and export of literary and cultural forms. Eighteenth-Century Transplantations places this transcultural circulation at the centre of attention and presents its products in a unique configuration. Literary transplants into the British context, out of it, and their transmedial afterlives are set together in order to showcase the mechanisms of such cultural commerce. The term 'transplantation', borrowed from medical and horticultural discourses and evocative of eighteenth-century experiments in gardening, is offered here as a useful kinetic model to conceptualize the diverse practices involved in relocating a literary text into a new cultural environment.

Counterfeit Ladies
Author: Janet Todd
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814782140
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Mary Frith, a procurer and fence known as Mal Cutpurse, and Mary Carleton, indicted for bigamy, are the subjects of the first two female criminal autobiographies. The 17th century women caught the public's imagination, becoming historical and mythical figures who chafed at the restrictions imposed on women of their times. Their stories were first published a year apart in the 1660s, before the time when a Romantic interest in the self turned autobiography into a familiar literary form. Includes extensive notes and two appendices: a table of dates for Mal Cutpurse and the Mary Carleton pamphlets. No index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
