How does imitation differ from parody? Where is the line between copyright infringement and homage? Questions of intellectual property have been vexed long before our own age of online piracy. In Victorian Britain, enterprising authors tested the limits of literary ownership by generating plagiaristic publications based on leading writers of the day. Adam Abraham illuminates these issues by examining imitations of three novelists: Charles Dickens, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and George Eliot. Readers of Oliver Twist may be surprised to learn about Oliver Twiss, a penny serial that usurped Dickens's characters. Such imitative publications capture the essence of their sources; the caricature, although crude, is necessarily clear. By reading works that emulate three nineteenth-century writers, this innovative study enlarges our sense of what literary knowledge looks like: to know a particular author means to know the sometimes bad imitations that the author inspired. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Plagiarism $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Parody. 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Parody. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053849 650 7 $a Plagiarism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065026 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 650 7 $a Englisch $2 gnd 650 7 $a Roman $2 gnd 650 7 $a Plagiat $2 gnd 650 7 $a Parodie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Geistiges Eigentum $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ; $v 118. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025419.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505015923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91AD7A12209B11EABA878C2E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
