Industry Reviews
For anyone interested in an up-to-the-moment overview of the broad range of eighteenth-century English periodical literature, written with the invigorating, almost manic energy of its subject matter, Manushag Powell's Performing Authorship in Eighteenth-Century English Periodicals is a necessary book. As implied by the title, Powell's study focuses on the eidolon as it 'performs' (as author, character, and citizen of the eidolon world) in the pages of eighteenth-century periodicals-and sometimes outside them. Powell brings to her task a battery of critical approaches, including performance theory, gender theory, feminist theory, and variations on the 'public sphere,' but what is most memorable about the book is her wide reading in the primary sources and an associational sprezzatura that generates sometimes brilliant and sometimes risky allusions and syntheses across not only decades but centuries. * Modern Philology *
[T]his new monograph contributes greatly to recent scholarship on the professionalization of authorship in the eighteenth century. * Modern Language Review *
Manushag N. Powell begins with a strong case based on internet blogging for the relevance today of the personae created within eighteenth-century essay periodicals, literary periodicals made up largely by an essay and correspondence to the essayist. . . .[I]n the end I was won over by all I had learned and Powell's critical insights and sound judgments. I was won over, too, by prose style and persona--qualities of a successful periodical. * The Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer *
