Description

The Afterlife of Character, 1726-1825 explores how eighteenth-century British readers transformed beloved literary figures into common property. This work by University of Pennsylvania Museum Publications examines the era of unauthorized sequels, where characters like Gulliver, Falstaff, Pamela, and Tristram Shandy were treated as starting points for endless new adventures. Rather than viewing novels and plays as self-contained stories, this text reveals how readers used these characters as a collective reference for augmentation. It provides a deep look into how readers endowed famous figures with value, turning patent authorship into an inexhaustible source for new creative works through the early nineteenth century.
