I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the term for the oppositional literary sphere of a "multitude of versifiers and would-be-authors"?
All the background I'm provided with is that "These men came to London to become authors, only to discover that the literary market simply could not support large numbers of writers, who, in any case, were very poorly remunerated by the publishing-bookselling guilds.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
