Focusing on the reception of Scottish Enlightenment ideas, and ranging across an Edinburgh print shop, an excluded religious community in the North of England, and the story worlds of novelists and poets, the study reveals compilation to be a politically resistant activity: it challenged centralizing and homogenizing tendencies within the growing British empire in the latter half of the eighteenth century and actively built counternarratives. Rebeca Araya Acosta offers a fresh view of eighteenth-century literary transaction and shows how practices of compilation in the period were more diversified and had a far greater impact on readers than their modern descendants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebeca Araya Acosta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031638352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031638350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Rebeca Araya Acosta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293233926399,"sku":"9783031638350","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dff76e47-e8ad-48af-84cf-6520599e63cd.jpg?v=1730212645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/compiling-texts-in-eighteenth-century-britain-rebeca-araya-acosta-9783031638350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
