Romantic Capabilities: Blake, Scott, Austen, and the New Messages of Old Media
Mike Goode (Associate Professor, English Department, Syracuse University)
Romantic Capabilities explores popular media uses of literary texts to open new pathways for researching texts’ cultural and political significance. Through case studies of specific popular media uses of three major Romantic corpuses–the viral circulation of William Blake’s proverbs and pictures, early 3-D photographs devoted to settings made famous by Walter Scott’s novels, and the phenomenon of Jane Austen fanfiction–the book challenges critical orthodoxies about viral media, immersive media, and fan fiction while also establishing Blake, Scott, and Austen as important early media theorists.
