Reviews
"Keen's book is the product of a deep reading of the archive of the past, with impressive results." -David Simpson, European Romantic Review, "Keen's book investigates the response of writers to the conditions of modern commercial authorship, and the development of new categories and concepts that authorize reading, writing, literary value, and consumption more generally." -Christopher Loar, Review Modernities, Polite and Vicious, 'Keen's book is the product of a deep reading of the archive of the past, with impressive results.' David Simpson, European Romantic Review

Synopsis
This book explores the ways that authors responded to a sense of unprecedented cultural and technological change. Together, their interventions helped to shape the values and tensions that informed Britain's sense of its own extraordinary modernity. Their insights have never been more pertinent., Paul Keen explores how a consumer revolution which reached its peak in the second half of the eighteenth century shaped debates about the role of literature in a polite modern nation, and tells the story of the resourcefulness with which many writers responded to these pressures. From dream reveries which mocked their own entrepreneurial commitments, such as Oliver Goldsmith's account of selling his work at a 'Fashion Fair' on the frozen Thames, to the Microcosm's mock plan to establish 'a licensed warehouse for wit', writers insistently tied their literary achievements to a sophisticated understanding of the uncertain complexities of a modern transactional society. This book combines a new understanding of late eighteenth-century literature with the materialist and sociological imperatives of book history and theoretically inflected approaches to cultural history., Paul Keen explores how a consumer revolution which reached its peak in the second half of the eighteenth century shaped debates about the role of literature in a polite modern nation, and tells the story of the resourcefulness with which many writers responded to these pressures.

I have an enlarged prostate and looking for a good exercising book to help with this problem, this book is not it. I wish I would have spent a few dollars more and bought a different book. There aren't any illustrations to show you how to do what few exercises he talks about. I would never recommend this book to anyone!!!
