Literary minstrelsy, 1770-1830minstrels and improvisers in British, Irish, and American literature /[electronic resource] :Erik Simpson. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - ix, 215 p. - Palgrave studies in the Enlightenment, romanticism, and cultures of print.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 158-208) and index.

The minstrel mode -- The minstrel in the world : Sydney Owenson and Irish internationalism --'The minstrels of modern Italy' : Germaine deStaèel, improvisation, and myths of Corinne -- The minstrel and Regency Romanticism : James Beattie and the rivalry of Byron and Wordsworth -- The minstrelgoes to market : the prizes and contests of James Hogg, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and Felicia Hermans -- The 'minstrel of the western continent' : The last of the Mohicans and transatlantic minstrelsy before blackface.

Literary Minstrelsy, 1770-1830 argues that Romantic-era writers usedthe figure of the minstrel to imagine authorship as a social, responsive enterprise unlike the solitary process portrayed by Romantic myths of the lone genius. Simpson demonstrates that the minstrel was central to developments as varied as the introduction of the word 'improvisation' into English through portrayals of Italian improvisers, the rivalry between Wordsworth and Byron in the 1810s, and the emergence of poems that dramatized ancient minstrel contests to address the competitive dynamics of the literary marketplace. Reading The Last of the Mohicans alongside a wide range of materials from early nineteenth-century print culture, the book's final chapter draws out the project's implications forthe emergence oftransatlantic blackface minstrelsy in the 1830s and 1840s.
