متن يادداشت

In Origins of the English Novel, Michael McKeon distinguishes between assimilationist and supersessionist iterations of the progressive narrative form; while most texts remain fundamentally elitist, he writes, supersessionist texts "seek the legitimation of a humble social group in its own terms." The disparity signals the presence of distinct, competing social fractions within the eighteenth-century middling sort: a polite, assimilationist fraction, and a more supersessionist trade and manufacturing community, which I term the commercial fraction. I argue that commercial authors have been consistently overlooked or misread by contemporaries and modern critics; the genteel authors and audiences who dominated contemporary literary discourse read commercial texts through the distortions of a polite lens, while modern literary scholars have based their analyses upon-and thereby perpetuated-these flawed 'translations.' Although scholars have studied commercial authors such as Samuel Richardson as agents of an undifferentiated 'middling' culture, there has been no recognition of a tradition of distinct commercial rhetoric, no sustained analysis of the commercial fraction's engagement with polite discourse.
