“Fashioning Authorship in the Long Eighteenth Century brings together disparate reading practices influenced by art history, book history, literary theory, close reading and twentieth-century philosophy, to analyse three poet-celebrities ranging from the early eighteenth century to the late Romantic period: Alexander Pope, Mary Robinson and Lord Byron. … This is an intriguing book that makes many convincing points about negotiating the divergent pulls of writing serious poetry and playing the fame game.” (Louise Curran, The Review of English Studies, Vol. 69 (291), September, 2018)
