Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2010.

This dissertation studies the forms of institutional organization that both preceded and paralleled the emergence of English as an academic discipline in early nineteenth-century Britain. In this period, vernacular literary texts were not taught in the universities, which trained students in classical languages, mathematics, and theology, but rather in a host of new institutions that populated the wider public sphere. Literary knowledge was cultivated in scientific societies, voluntary associations, dissenting academies, and monitorial schools, as well as in the books and periodicals that were sold in the commercial marketplace. Institutions of Literature examines how literary critics sought both to consolidate their status within, and to imagine alternatives to, the institutions of modern knowledge production. In addition to three chapter-length case studies of particular institutional sites -- circulating libraries, monitorial schools, and scientific societies -- I outline a theoretical and methodological rationale for studying institutions in the humanities. Institutions are not built from bricks and mortar alone; rather, they are inextricable from the genres of written and spoken communication that flow into and out of their material spaces. My dissertation makes the case for an expanded field of literary scholarship that explores not only the familiar analytical objects of author, text, and genre but also the broader networks of institutional mediation through which those objects travel. Hence, in addition to familiar works by authors such as Coleridge, De Quincey, Hazlitt, and J.S. Mill, I study the forms of institutional communication -- ledgers, account books, advertisements, lecture programs, business letters, and membership rules -- that organized the institutional spaces in which those documents first circulated.
