The infamously popular London publisher William Lane made a name for himself and his Press, ‘Minerva’, by courting debuting female authors and selling their novels wholesale as circulating-library collections. Minerva’s Gothics puts Minerva novels back into conversation with each other and with the day’s influential literary and philosophical texts.
Between 1790 and 1820, William Lanes Minerva Press published an unprecedented number of new novels by female authors. Reading these novels for their shared popular conventions demonstrates that circulating-library novelists collectively recirculate, engage and modify commonplaces about womens nature, the social order and, most importantly, the very same Romantic redefinitions of literature that still render their novels not worth reading. Elizabeth Neimans analysis shows that Minerva novelists write and authorize a collaborative authorial model, and that this model reverberates in Romantic poeticsmost notably, Percy Shelleys portrayal of the idealized poet in A Defence of Poetry.
