Prospectuses, Specimens and National Works: Byron and John Hookham Frere
No full textThis article analyses Byron’s stylistic conversion of 1817 by examining the transformative impact of John Hookham Frere’s Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work, by William and Robert Whistlecraft, which Byron acknowledged as his ‘immediate model’ for Beppo. Previous studies of this textual relationship have centred on ottava rima and emphasised the underlying influence of Italian burlesque poetry. I highlight other aspects of Frere’s poem, showing how its title page parodies publishers’ marketing devices and how it mixes mock-epic romance with wide-ranging satire of the British book trade. Frere’s narratorial persona ‘Whistlecraft’, a chatty, self-mocking author who reflects playfully on the act of writing and the practicalities of publishing and printing, is part of the satire. Using similar techniques and motifs, Byron takes Frere’s satiric method to a new level of imaginative accomplishment, creating a comic poetry that is both national and international in scope, first in his ‘Venetian story’ Beppo and later in Don Juan

1815—
Dear Sir—
It will give me great pleasure to comply with your request—though I hope there is still taste enough left amongst us to render it almost unnecessary—sordid & interested as—it must be admitted—many of “the trade” are where circumstances give them an advantage. I trust you do not permit yourself to be depressed by the temporary partiality of what is called “the public” for the favourites of the moment—all experience is against the permanency of such impressions. [p. 2] You must have lived to see many of these pass away—and will survive many more—I mean personally—for poetically, I would not insult you by a comparison. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- If I may be permitted—I would suggest that there never was such an opening for Tragedy—In Kean there is an actor worthy of expressing the thoughts of the characters which you have every power of embodying—and I cannot but regret that the part of Ordonio was disposed of before his appearance at Drury Lane. We have had nothing to be mentioned in the same breath with “Remorse” for [p. 3] very many years—and I should think that the reception of that play was sufficient to encourage the highest hopes of author and audience. -- -- It is to be hoped that you are proceeding in a career which could not be successful. -- -- -- With my best respects to Mr. Bowles I have the honour to be

P.S. You mention my “Satire” lampoon or whatever you or others please to call it—I can only say that it was written when I was very young & very angry—and has been a thorn in my side ever [p.4 ] since—more particularly as almost all the persons animadverted upon became subsequently my acquaintances & some of them my friends—which is “heaping fire upon an enemy’s head” & forgiving me too readily to permit me to forgive myself.—The part applied to you—is pert & petulant--& shallow enough—but—although I have long done every thing in my power to suppress the circulation of the whole thing—I shall always regret the wantonness & generality of many of its attempted attacks. [Four dashes fill out the final line.
