viii, 268 p. ; 24 cm. This study begins with two fatal duels as an introduction to a literary period best defined by its antagonisms. Exploring three publishing phenomena of the age; the novels of Walter Scott, Byron's Don Juan, and the new literary magazines, it attempts a reconfiguration of our understanding of literary culture after Waterloo. Two duels -- Two dinners -- Personalities -- Flesh-coloured silk -- Remembering peebles -- Mr. Knight's best small capitals -- Pistols and horsewhips -- Disunity of mind : the novel as magazine -- Practical asyndeton : the poem as magazine -- Cruel mockeries -- Jack and Gill -- Two cultures.
