This book draws on and contributes to the wealth of recent research in the history of the book and the history of reading. All six case studies contained here are linked by the general theme of how a particular text, or type of text, may have been appropriated by an individual, a group of readers, or the author themselves. The contributors consider how the physical form of the text impacts on its readership, concluding that early modern texts do not hold a fixed meaning but are instead interpreted and appropriated in a different manner by each individual reader. Through discussions of a range of different publications, the contributors to this volume describe a period that was both vibrant and inventive in its literary output. The extension of literacy and the increased access to written material made possible by the printing press raised concerns of legitimacy and reputation, an aspect explored here in relation to the publication of plays, as well as concerns over the efficacy and role of censorship within the literary marketplace. This volume seeks to add a further contribution to the increasing interdisciplinary dialogue over the history of the book, the history of reading and the networks of exchange involved in the 'textual culture' of early modern England. Concerned with reading practices throughout the period, the contributors come from the fields of both English and history and provide a variety of new interpretations on the presentation of texts, the aims of their authors, and the ways in which their audiences received them. The range of literary and historical material covered within the chapters of this volume represents a valuable reinforcement of the need for interdisciplinary study through a demonstration of the benefits of collaboration between literary and historical scholars.

What is criticism? And where is it to be found? Thinking about literature and the visual arts is found in many places - in treatises, apologies, and paragoni; in prefaces, letters, and essays; in commentaries, editions, reading notes, and commonplace books; in images, sculptures, and built spaces; within or on the thresholds of works of poetry and visual art. It is situated between different disciplines and methods. Critical ideas and methods come into England from other countries, and take root in particular locations - the court, the Inns of Court, the theatre, the great house, the printer's shop, the university. The practice of criticism is transplanted to the Americas and attempts to articulate the place of poetry in a new world. And commonplaces of classical poetics and rhetoric serve both to connect and to measure the space between different critical discourses. Tracing the history of the development of early modern thinking about literature and the visual arts requires consideration of various kinds of place - material, textual, geographical - and the practices particular to those places; it also requires that those different places be brought into dialogue with each other. This book brings together scholars working in departments of English, modern languages, and art history to look at the many different places of early modern criticism. It argues polemically for the necessity of looking afresh at the scope of criticism, and at what happens on its margins; and for interrogating our own critical practices and disciplinary methods by investigating their history.

Crime in England 1688-1815 covers the ‘long’ eighteenth century, a period which saw huge and far-reaching changes in criminal justice history. These changes included the introduction of transportation overseas as an alternative to the death penalty, the growth of the magistracy, the birth of professional policing, increasingly harsh sentencing of those who offended against property-owners and the rapid expansion of the popular press, which fuelled debate and interest in all matters criminal. Utilising both primary and secondary source material, this book discusses a number of topics such as punishment, detection of offenders, gender and the criminal justice system and crime in contemporaneous popular culture and literature. This book is designed for both the criminal justice history/criminology undergraduate and the general reader, with a lively and immediately approachable style. The use of carefully selected case studies is designed to show how the study of criminal justice history can be used to illuminate modern-day criminological debate and discourse. It includes a brief review of past and current literature on the topic of crime in eighteenth-century England and Wales, and also emphasises why knowledge of the history of crime and criminal justice is important to present-day criminologists. Together with its companion volumes, it will provide an invaluable aid to both students of criminal justice history and criminology.
