Bøker av Clara (University of Melbourne) Tuite

Clara Tuite explores Lord Byron's life and work, his public image and the reception of his writings through the idea of scandalous celebrity. Tuite analyses Byron's role in the literary, political and sexual scandals that mark the Regency as a vital period of social transition and emergent celebrity culture.

Tuite's study presents a series of historically contextualized readings of Austen's writing, including juvenilia, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Austen's posthumously published novel, Sanditon, to examine ways in which Romantic-period definitions of nation, culture and literature continue to function in contemporary readings of Austen and her period.
