- catalog abstract "This book offers a balanced interdisciplinary account of literary and criminal forgery as they were practised, constructed and theorized in the eighteenth century as a corollary of the new documents of the financial revolution: banknotes, bills of exchange and promissory notes. The book surveys the crime and its mythology, placing well-known cases such as that of Dr. William Dodd within the pattern of 400 prosecutions from the period 1715-1780. In parallel, accounts of some major instances of literary forgery (Lauder, Macpherson, Chatterton) are rooted in a more pervasive culture in which 'forgery' was discovered in many developing areas of literary practice: scholarly editing, historiography and antiquarianism. The House of Forgery in Eighteenth-Century Britain will be essential reading for academics and postgraduates interested in the literature and history of the eighteenth century, print culture, the economics of authorship, crime and forgery.".
