'The "long eighteenth century" is a familiar designation in the fields of historical and literary studies, and it is a concept with particular resonance for bibliography and the history of the book. Physical bibliography in the Greg-Bowers tradition has foregrounded the practices of the hand-press period, which counts the "long eighteenth century" as both its twilight and its period of most intense activity. In many ways, scholarly interest in print culture and the history of the book has followed the contours established by bibliographical scholars. The recent Cambridge History of the Book in Britain provides a case in point: the latter volumes of the series seem to be dominated by a protuberant eighteenth century (Vol. 5, 1695-1830), producing a shorter view of the nineteenth (Vol. 6, 1830-1914), which in turn impinges on the territory of the (as yet uncompleted) seventh volume on the twentieth century.'

1 'Where Sydney Cove Her Lucid Bosom Swells' : The Songs of an Imagined 'Nation', 1786-1789 Nathan Garvey , 2007 single work criticism essay
— Appears in: Literature Compass , March vol. 4 no. 2007;
In the years between the mooting of the Botany Bay scheme (1786), and the news of the founding of the New South Wales penal colony reaching England (1789), a number of songs were written which envisaged the Botany Bay colony as a new 'nation'. While the survival of many of these pieces in broadside ballad form have led to their being placed within the Australian 'transportation ballad' tradition, they were not folk ballads but popular songs which generally used the themes of transportation and the penal colony to make satirical or comic comment on contemporary English politics and society. This article examines the contexts and meanings of these songs, examining their reception, audiences and publishing history, in an effort to question their placement within the Australian ballad tradition, to interrogate the views expressed on nation-building and on the structure of eighteenth-century British society, and to examine the connections between Georgian elite and popular cultures.
