Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...of the Scotch Novelist! that I might now detail all that was said by him on that memorable morning; as well as the artistic remarks of the mild and amiable President of the Royal Academy; and the then novel theories and language of the German Phrenologist: but, alas! I can only venture to relate the simple circumstance of the meeting, the scene, and the tendency of the conversation. The peculiar formation of the Poet's skull, with all its superficial inequalities and curvatures, was pointed out by Dr. Spurzheim, and descanted on with much ingenuity; with inferences from its peculiar developments, as indicating the possession of those talents which are evinced in his Writings; also some personal traits of character, which the ingenious and accomplished man of physiological science only could descry, or venture to comment on. Mr. West said but little; for he was never eloquent, nor even fluent. His remarks on the Bust were confined to individual features--the eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, cheeks, hair, and moustache: all of which, he felt satisfied, were imitations of nature, modelled from the person whilst living, or from a cast after death. There was no appearance of fancy, or of its having been modelled merely from recollection.f The language of Mr. Scott, on the poetry of Shakspere, was fluent and copious; but he scarcely noticed the plaster-cast. He could repeat almost every striking passage in the plays and poems of the Bard, and applied many of them to characterize their author. On being asked to look at and give his opinion of the Bust, he chiefly alluded to the lofty, towering forehead, and conical crown; the simple, boyish lips, and their pleasing expression; but he could not reconcile himself to the extraordinary, and, as he...

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the literary lecture arrived on London's cultural scene as an influential critical medium and popular social event. It flourished for two decades in the hands of the period's most prominent lecturers: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Thelwall, Thomas Campbell, and William Hazlitt. Lecturers aimed to shape auditors' reading habits, burnish their own professional profiles, and establish a literary canon. Auditors wielded their own considerable influence, since their sustained approbation was necessary to a lecturer's success, and independent series could collapse midway if attendance waned. Two chapters are therefore devoted to the auditors, whose creative responses to what they heard often constituted cultural works in their own right. Auditors wrote poems and letters about lecture performances, acted as patrons to lecturers, and hosted dinners and conversation parties that followed these events. Prominent auditors included John Keats, Mary Russell Mitford, Henry Crabb Robinson, Catherine Maria Fanshawe, and Lady Charlotte Bury. The Romantic public literary lecture is a fascinating cultural phenomenon in its own right, but understanding the medium has significant implications for some of the period's most important literary criticism, such as Coleridge's readings of Shakespeare and Hazlitt's Lectures on the English Poets (1818). The book's two main aims are to chart the emergence of the literary lecture as a popular medium and to develop a critical approach to these events by drawing on an interdisciplinary discussion about how to treat historical speaking performances.

The Eighteenth century is often represented, applying Tom Paine's phrase, as 'The Age of Reason': an age when progressive ideals triumphed over autocracy and obscurantism, and when notions of order and balance shaped consciousness in every sphere of human knowledge. Yet the debates which surrounded the development of Eighteenth-century thought were always open to troubling doubts. Was nature itself truly an ordered entity, as Newton had argued, or was it a mass of chaotic, randomly moving atoms, as some materialist thinkers believed? This book explores the tensions and conflicts in these debates through a series of interdisciplinary essays from leading international scholars, each challenging the idea that the Eighteenth century was an age of order.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s last play, an adaptation of August von Kotzebue’s Die Spanier in Peru first performed in 1799, was one of the most popular of the entire century. Set during the Spanish Conquest of Peru, Pizarro dramatizes English fears of invasion by Revolutionary France, but it is also surprisingly and critically engaged with Britain’s colonial exploits abroad. Pizarro is a play of firsts: the first use of music alongside action, the first collapsing set, the first production to inspire such celebratory ephemera as cartoons, portraits, postcards, even porcelain collector plates. Pizarro marks the end of eighteenth-century drama and the birth of a new theatrical culture. This edition features a comprehensive introduction and extensive appendices documenting the play’s first successful performances and global influence. It will appeal to students and scholars of Romantic literature, theatre history, post-colonialism, and Indigenous studies.
