She charts the beginnings in eighteenth-century Britain of what is now called cultural history, exploring how and why it developed, and the issues at stake. Her interest is not simply in a succession of great writers, but in the politics of a wider culture, in which writers, scholars, publishers, editors, booksellers, readers all play their parts. For more than thirty years, Marilyn Butler was a towering presence in eighteenth-century and romantic studies, and this major work is published for the first time"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 "The first surprise is that this is a book not about romanticism, but about the writings of the long eighteenth century. Butler had begun to consider the significance of myth, or 'paganism', in the writings of the second generation of romantic poets in Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries. She was to explore it further in a number of published essays; it was to be the subject of her next, unfinished book. In Mapping Mythologies, however, she presents her account of poets and myth in the eighteenth century not as the prelude to a later, more interesting story, but as having a distinctively different interest of its own. She does not avoid the linear model, but she does not look ahead to the long-deferred miracle. Whereas her work on the later romantics was to chart their attraction to eastern and classical pagan mythologies, the writers she considers in Mapping Mythologies invoke or invent myths native to the British isles"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 English poetry|y18th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Myth in literature. 650 0 Literature and society|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y18th century. 650 0 Literature and myth. 653 Ngọc test 907 .b76517986|b04-12-16|c09-29-15 910 OCLC BibNote|bMaster record variable field(s) change: 100, 500 - Master record encoding level change 910 RDA ENRICHED 910 ybp 910 Backstage 910 TOC 910 Hathi Trust report SPM 910 BROWNu 953 Việt Nam|b1940 970 01 |tPreface|cHeather Glen|fGlen, Heather|pvii 970 11 |l1.|tA map of mythologising|p1 970 11 |l2.|tThomson and Akenside|p21 970 11 |l3.|tCollins and Gray|p56 970 11 |l4.|tThe forgers: Macpherson and Chatterton|p88 970 11 |l5.|tPopular Antiquities|p123 970 11 |l6.|tBlake|p162 970 01 |tCoda|p189 970 01 |tNotes|p193 970 01 |tIndex|p209 998 r0001|b12-22-15|cm|da|e-|feng|genk|h0|i1 998 r0001|b09-29-15|cm|da|e-|feng|genk|h0|i1
