from Part III - Literary Contexts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2024
Authorship’ lays out the range of positions on the place of the author in Goldsmith’s work, contextualizing it in the evolving literary field of mid-century publishing, and drawing on studies of authorship and the book trade ranging from Dustin Griffin, Linda Zionkowski, and Martha Woodmansee to more recent work by Nicholas Hudson and Mark Wildermuth. The chapter focuses primarily on two major texts, the Enquiry into the Present State of Polite Learning in Europe (1759) and The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), where the issue of authorship comes most obviously to the fore.
