Abstract

This book offers a balanced interdisciplinary account of literary and criminal forgery as they were practised, constructed and theorized in the eighteenth century as a corollary of the new documents of the financial revolution: banknotes, bills of exchange and promissory notes. In parallel, accounts of some major instances of literary forgery (Lauder, Macpherson, Chatterton) are rooted in a more pervasive culture in which 'forgery' was discovered in many developing areas of literary practice : scholarly editing, historiography and antiquarianism. The study is based on a very large body of diverse material, from major texts to hundreds of minor poems, controversial pamphlets, criminal biographies, newspapers, legal records and manuscripts.

Abstract

An in-depth exploration of documentary forgery at the turn of the first millennium Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium takes a fresh look at documentary forgery and historical memory in the Middle Ages. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, religious houses across Europe began falsifying texts to improve local documentary records on an unprecedented scale. As Levi Roach illustrates, the resulting wave of forgery signaled major shifts in society and political culture, shifts which would lay the foundations for the European ancien régime. Spanning documentary traditions across France, England, Germany and northern Italy, Roach examines five sets of falsified texts to demonstrate how forged records produced in this period gave voice to new collective identities within and beyond the Church. Above all, he indicates how this fad for falsification points to new attitudes toward past and present--a developing fascination with the signs of antiquity. These conclusions revise traditional master narratives about the development of antiquarianism in the modern era, showing that medieval forgers were every bit as sophisticated as their Renaissance successors. Medieval forgers were simply interested in different subjects--the history of the Church and their local realms, rather than the literary world of classical antiquity. A comparative history of falsified records at a crucial turning point in the Middle Ages, Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium offers valuable insights into how institutions and individuals rewrote and reimagined the past.

Abstract

"In 1827 stapte de Hagenaar Willem Gabriel Vervloet (1807-1847) luidruchtig de boekenwereld binnen. Zijn opdringerige reclametechnieken hadden succes. Hij werd de belangrijkste importeur en pleitbezorger van op Belgische persen nagedrukte Franse romantische letterkunde. Ook als uitgever van een tijdschrift dat geheel was gewijd aan vertaalde buitenlandse literatuur, ging het hem aanvankelijk voor de wind. Halverwege de jaren dertig ging het echter fout: zijn vertaler spande een proces tegen hem aan dat hij verloor vanwege zijn halsstarrigheid. Om een faillissement te voorkomen pleegde hij vervolgens op grote schaal valsheid in geschrifte. In een monsterproces, waarbij heel Den Haag de adem inhield, werd hij veroordeeld tot acht jaar detentie in het tuchthuis te Leeuwarden. Daar overleed hij in volstrekte vergetelheid. Zelfs de kranten die zo vol hadden gestaan over zijn proces, zwegen. In dit boek worden opkomst en ondergang van deze gewiekste uitgever uit de vergetelheid getild."--Back cover.
