Original Copy: Plagiarism and Originality in Nineteenth-Century Literature

by RobertMacFarlane (Author)

Synopsis

A wide-ranging and elegantly written study of how nineteenth-century culture thought about, and thought with, the idea of originality. It reveals how plagiarism was not only a theoretical concern of Victorian commentators on literature, but also provided a creative resource for many important writers including Eliot, Dickens, Pater, and Wilde.
