Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This is article recovers a common history of georgic and fictionality that resides in their shared attention to craft labour. Taking Dryden’s 1697 translation of Virgil’s Georgics as a case study, this essay demonstrates how English georgics adopted a contemporary rhetoric of artisanship, which privileged reticence over the referentiality more often associated with the mode. While many persuasive studies have identified a background for georgic in the history of British empiricism, further examination of the literary inheritances of crafts-manship helps to recover formal perspectives that were often at odds with the goals of Royal Society transmission. Reading Dryden’s text alongside materials relating to the History of Trades Program, I argue that the reticent style of artisanal practice provided a possible solution for dealing with the market pressures facing poetry and the other arts. This tradition of craft poetics is an overlooked genealogy for fiction at mid-century both in terms of fiction’s etymological origins as material craftsmanship and, strategically, as a tacit mode of political dissent.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
