Book excerpt: '"Originality" is only plagiarizing from a great many', remarked Rupert Brooke, stealing the line from Voltaire. Questions of originality, and accusations of plagiarism, are as old as literature, but different literary cultures have interpreted the relationship between originality and plagiarism in startlingly dissimilar ways. Original Copy investigates and documents the drastic reappraisal of literary originality and plagiarism which occurred over the course of the nineteenth century: from the heroic visions of original authorship that characterised the 1820s and 1830s, through to the stickle-brick creativity of Oscar Wilde and Lionel Johnson at the century's end. It reveals how ideas of originality and plagiarism were not only a theoretical concern of Victorian commentators on literature, but also provided many important Victorian writers - Eliot, Dickens, Reade, Pater, Wilde, and Lionel Johnson among them - with a creative resource. Moving between numerous different fields of thought and knowledge - literary criticism, the history of science, manuscript culture, anthropology - and written in a supple and elegant style, this book shows that the ideas of originality and plagiarism were the subjects of nineteenth-century literature, as well as what it was subject to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Thief, and Other Histories: The Wandering Heir The readers of "It is Never too Late to Mend" may remember that in chap. xxii. the chaplain set the thief to write his life honestly. He was not to whitewash, and then gild himself, nor yet to vent one long self-deceiving howl of general, and therefore sham, penitence; but he was to be, with God's help, his own historian and sober critic. Accordingly Thomas Robinson wrote this autobiography in - Jail; and my readers may have noticed that at first I intended to print it with the novel. It cost me a struggle to resign this intention; for it was the central gem of my little coronet. But the novel, without the autobiography, was five ordinary volumes by printers' calculation, and a story within a story is a frightful flaw in art. Moreover, I was attacking settled, long-standing prejudices. Prejudice is a giant, against whom Truth and Humanity need to be defended with great spirit, and, in some desperate cases, with a tiger-like ferocity: "A dur ane dur aiguillon." But there must be some judgment too; and, take my word for it, there always has been some judgment used wherever so hard a battle is won. I feared then to multiply paradoxes, and to draw once too often on the faith of the public, as well as on its good heart - I, who carried no personal weight with me. But I think my readers are now ripe for this strange but true story, and I dedicate it in particular to such as will deign to accept this clue to my method in writing: - I feign probabilities; I record improbabilities. The former are conjectures, the latter truths: mixed they make a thing not so true as Gospel nor so false as History; viz., Fiction. When I startle you most, think twice before you disbelieve me. What able deceiver aims at shocking credulity ? Distrust rather my oily probabilities. They should be true too if I could make them; but I can't. They are guesses. You have seen Thomas Robinson, alias Hie, alias Ille, alias Iste, tinted in water-colours by me; now see him painted in oils by himself, and retouched by Mr. Eden.
