- This 193-page monograph is the result of four years of research (2009-13), during which time the author considered literary authority in the nineteenth century in terms both legal (the early years of an author’s copyright) and literary. Following on from a series of conference presentations and peer-reviewed articles, this study considers the status of literary authority (auctority), particularly in the mid-century, when political authority was itself under attack, reified, and torn asunder. Examples from three literary genres show how destabilized voices and forms in literature reflect important moments in the birth of the modern as we still recognise it today.
