Focusing on the reception of Scottish Enlightenment ideas, and ranging across an Edinburgh print shop, an excluded religious community in the North of England, and the story worlds of novelists and poets, the study reveals compilation to be a politically resistant activity: it challenged centralizing and homogenizing tendencies within the growing British empire in the latter half of the eighteenth century and actively built counternarratives. Rebeca Araya Acosta offers a fresh view of eighteenth-century literary transaction and shows how practices of compilation in the period were more diversified and had a far greater impact on readers than their modern descendants. Rebeca Araya Acosta is Lecturer in the English department of Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany. Her main research area is the long eighteenth century with an emphasis on print culture and the interaction between science and literature. 0aLiterature, Modernx18th century. 0aLiteraturexHistory and criticism. 0aEuropean literature. 0aBooksxHistory.14aEighteenth-Century Literature.24aLiterary History.24aEuropean Literature.24aHistory of the Book.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303163835008iPrinted edition:z978303163837408iPrinted edition:z9783031638381 0aPalgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print,x2634-652440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-63836-7
