요약 : Early eighteenth-century British print culture abounds with texts that put that put the private behavior of real individuals on public display. Such “scandal writing” (a genre that in my definition includes scandal narratives, personal satire, libel and pamphlet attacks) negotiates public authority through the manipulation of individual reputation. By conceiving of public discourse as a form of personal attack, such writing challenges Jurgen Habermas's depiction of the British eighteenth-century public sphere as a space of purely rational discourse and points to the existence of a counter-public sphere, one characterized by less disinterested norms of exchange.

요약 : This dissertation presents a two-pronged argument. First, it contends that the concepts of scandal and the hack writer were developed to legitimate satire and the professional author. Personal satirists identified scandal as the defamatory genre, thus suggesting that their satirical texts were not associated with detractive practices. Similarly, authors participating in but nevertheless ambivalent about the literary marketplace invented the hack as the embodiment of commercial authorship. Pope, Swift, Addison and others rely on the tactics of scandal to promote their vision of the hack while deploring scandal as the hack's contamination of print culture.

요약 : Second, the dissertation argues that scandal writing was the conduit through which public authority was mediated by private life. Scandal writing produces a conception of privacy that it also undermines. The private life is conceptualized as a separate realm that can be exposed to public scrutiny. In its exposure, however, it becomes a dimension of the public sphere. The clearly fictional nature of such representations (prominent among them, certain pamphlet representations of Pope) marks them as simulacrums of exposure, though their fictionality did not diminish their purchase on the public imagination. Scandal's private self is a textual self, a product of print culture. The two lines of the dissertation's argument come together in the idea of the constructed nature of scandal writing and its object: the private selves scandal writing claimed to expose were as much inventions as the very concepts of scandal and satire, literary author and hack.
