Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wouldn’t it be great to be a fly on the wall as the great writers took pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard)? While reading this work, you’ll be just that. Here are behind-the-book stories and facts about authors, publishing and everything literary that will entertain both casual and serious readers. Among the questions asked and answered: • When Did Literature Finally Get Sexy? • Is Coffee or Opium Better for Literary Creativity? • Why Are the Best Autobiographies so Embarrassing? • Why Do Some Detectives Use Their Minds and Others Their Fists? Who knew that bestseller lists and children’s books could be the source of intense controversy? Or that even the biggest writers had to scrape by, with odd jobs and inventions like the Mark Twain Self-Pasting Scrapbook? In Literary Miscellany, examine the trend of “fake memoirs,” with a list of who lied about what, and a rogues’ gallery of hoaxers dating back centuries. From epic poetry and Homer to pulp fiction and Harry Potter, Literary Miscellany is a breezy tour through the literature of today and yesterday, packed with enough interesting facts to entertain both the erudite professor and pleasure reader.

Download or read book Making the Miscellany written by Megan Heffernan and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Making the Miscellany Megan Heffernan examines the poetic design of early modern printed books and explores how volumes of compiled poems, which have always existed in practice, responded to media change in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. Heffernan's focus is not only the material organization of printed poetry, but also how those conventions and innovations of arrangement contributed to vernacular poetic craft, the consolidation of ideals of individual authorship, and centuries of literary history. The arrangement of printed compilations contains a largely unstudied and undertheorized archive of poetic form, Heffernan argues. In an evolving system of textual transmission, compilers were experimenting with how to contain individual poems within larger volumes. By paying attention to how they navigated and shaped the exchanges between poems and their organization, she reveals how we can witness the basic power of imaginative writing over the material text. Making the Miscellany is also a study of how this history of textual design has been differently told by the distinct disciplines of bibliography or book history and literary studies, each of which has handled—and obscured—the formal qualities of early modern poetry compilations and the practices that produced them. Revisiting these editorial and critical approaches, this book recovers a moment when compilers, poets, and readers were alert to a poetics of organization that exceeded the limits of the individual poem.

Download or read book The Literary Miscellany (Philadelphia 1795), Lady and Gentleman's Pocket Magazine (New York 1796), and Literary Museum, Or Monthly Magazine (Westchester 1797) written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Literary Miscellany, Containing Elegant Selections of the most admired Fugitive Pieces, and Extracts from Works of the greatest Merit, with Originals. Prose and Poetry was published in Philadelphia (volume one printed at the office of W. W. Woodward, for T. Stephens, No. 57, South Second Street; volume two printed for T. Stephens, No. 60, South Second Street) in sixteen parts (twice-monthly for twelve numbers from January through June 1795, but irregular through the four numbers in July-August-September), sold primarily by subscription. The editor, Thomas Stephens, apparently aped George Nicholson's Literary Miscellany published in England from 1793, initially at Manchester, then Ludlow, and Poughnill, with more than eighty pamphlet/numbers collected in 20 volumes (Stourport 1812). The British periodical was an unconventional magazine at best, with a kinship to the serial anthology that is more fully described in Chapter One of volume 7 in this series, Discoveries in Periodicals (2000). The Philadelphia Literary Miscellany also is an unconventional magazine, because the advertised claim that original contributions were to be mixed with reprinted materials is unsubstantiated. serial-anthology designation for this oddity in American Periodicals, Series One (Reel 14), recorded also among magazines by Kribbs (No. 456). The lists herein are intended to supplement (and where relevant, correct) the fiction identified in volume 17 of these Studies in British and American Magazines, the new edition of my Fiction in American Magazines Before 1800. Here for the first time not only is the poetry included (largely selected from the well-known writers of the century), but also we can point to the likelihood that some kind of relationship existed between this miscellany, and another of 1795 published in Dublin, a subscription-dependent collection of prose and verse, that similarly disguised reprinted articles as originals, and included several of the Literary Miscellany's works with identical titles and signatures. The anthology entitled Variety is listed among sources to permit a recording of these coincidences (see also author's account of Variety in ANQ).

Book excerpt: Including works from Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Breton and Manx, this Celtic Miscellany offers a rich blend of poetry and prose from the eighth to the nineteenth century, and provides a unique insight into the minds and literature of the Celtic people. It is a literature dominated by a deep sense of wonder, wild inventiveness and a profound sense of the uncanny, in which the natural world and the power of the individual spirit are celebrated with astonishing imaginative force.
