Limits of Familiarity Authorship and Romantic Readers

The Limits of Familiarity analyzes the intensely personal feelings that Romantic-era readers came to have for authors. Contributing to reception studies, celebrity studies, and literary history, this book reveals how anxieties about the cultural value of familiarity shaped both Romanticism and conceptions of authorship.

Riassunto

Confessional poetry, romans a clef, personal essays, gossip columns, and more gave Romantic-era readers exceptional access to well-known authors. But how close was too close? In The Limits of Familiarity, Eckert argues that these questions influenced literary production in the Romantic period.
