Why was book collecting controversial during the Romantic period, and what role has book collecting played in the history of homophobia? \u003ci\u003eThe Queer Bookishness of Romanticism: Ornamental Community\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these and more questions about the suppressed bookish dimension of Romanticism, as well as Romanticism's historical forebears and Victorian inheritors. The analysis ranges widely, addressing the bookish proclivities of the \"romantic friends\" the Ladies of Llangollen, the camp works about book collecting produced by a subculture calling themselves \"ornamental gentlemen,\" narratives of prototypically punk collecting and flâneuring by the essayist and collector Charles Lamb, and rare-book forgeries by Thomas J. Wise and Harry Forman, queer bibliographer-scholars responsible for canonizing some of the Romantic poets during the Victorian period. In the process, this book uncovers surprising connections between conceptions of literature and sexuality; literary materiality and queerness; and forgery, sexuality, and authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e is lecturer in the writing and rhetoric department at the University of Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51871926518048,"sku":"9781793607959","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ETNKDpKvpJ9781793607959.webp?v=1781713321","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-queer-bookishness-of-romanticism-ornamental-community-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
