Abstract

At the beginning of this project, I planned to research female-authored texts from the Romantic era and to explore patterns of consumerism found within them. After a few weeks of researching various pamphlets and printed visual images for this project, I started to wonder whether the relationship between printed visuals, texts, and consumer culture had a larger cultural impact than I had previously anticipated. I became interested in the ways that print culture influenced not only female authors, but also some of the foundational figures of the Romantic era, particularly William Wordsworth, who was referenced in much of the research I was looking at.
