{"product_id":"9780521454520","title":"Byron and the Victorians","description":"This book is the first full-length study of Byron's influence on Victorian writers, concentrating on Carlyle, Emily Brontë, Tennyson, Bulwer Lytton, Disraeli, and Wilde. It has two emphases, theoretical and literary-historical. Its theoretical project is to revise earlier understanding of literary influence through a demonstration of the ways that institutions of cultural production mediate the access that later writers have to earlier ones. Its literary-historical project is to suggest the many different responses that Victorian writers had to Byron and to his celebrity in British culture. It argues that defining oneself against Byron became a ritual of the Victorian authorial career. Victorian writers did not reject Byron outright: instead, they defined themselves through fictions of personal development away from values associated with Byron towards those associated with themselves as mature Victorian writers.","brand":"Andrew Elfenbein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45780043923774,"sku":"9780521454520","price":4658.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780521454520_2698a03f-6be7-4b2f-b040-f2a0b9e16536.jpg?v=1707291536","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780521454520","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
