Pope to Burney, 1714-1779

Scriblerians to Bluestockings

By: Moyra Haslett

This essential guide defines literature of the eighteenth century as a literature written and received as public conversation. Moyra Haslett discusses and challenges conventional ways of reading the period, particularly in relation to notions of the public sphere. In her wide-ranging study, Haslett reads key texts - including The Dunciad, Gulliver's Travels and Pamela - in their literary and cultural contexts, and examines such genres as the periodical, the familiar letter, the verse epistle and the novel as textual equivalents of coterie culture.

Scriblerians to Bluestockings

By: Moyra Haslett

This title defines literature of the 18th century as a literature written and received as public conversation. Moyra Haslett discusses and challenges conventional ways of reading the period, particularly in relation to ideas of the public sphere. Key texts (including "The Dunciad," "Gulliver's Travels" and "Pamela") are read through the context of their imitations and counter fictions, and the new genres of the periodical, published letters and the novel are discussed as textual equivalents of coterie culture.
