{"product_id":"9781316366059","title":"Mapping Mythologies: Countercurrents in Eighteenth-Century British Poetry and Cultural History","description":"In this groundbreaking work of revisionary literary history, Marilyn Butler traces the imagining of alternative versions of the nation in eighteenth-century Britain, both in the works of a series of well-known poets (Akenside, Thomson, Gray, Collins, Chatterton, Macpherson, Blake) and in the differing accounts of the national culture offered by eighteenth-century antiquarians and literary historians. She charts the beginnings in eighteenth-century Britain of what is now called cultural history, exploring how and why it developed, and the issues at stake. Her interest is not simply in a succession of great writers, but in the politics of a wider culture, in which writers, scholars, publishers, editors, booksellers, readers all play their parts. For more than thirty years, Marilyn Butler was a towering presence in eighteenth-century and romantic studies, and this major work is published for the first time.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133563650288,"sku":"9781316366059","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316366059_p0.jpg?v=1763706623","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316366059","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
