The Romantic age was one of anger and its consequences: revolution
and reaction, terror and war. Andrew M. Stauffer explores the
changing place of anger in the literature and culture of the
period, as Englishmen and women rethought their relationship to the
aggressive passions in the wake of the French Revolution. Drawing
on diverse fields and discourses such as aesthetics, politics,
medicine, and the law, and tracing the classical legacy the
Romantics inherited, Stauffer charts the period's struggle to
define the relationship of anger to justice and the creative self.
In their poetry and prose, Romantic authors including Blake,
Coleridge, Godwin, Shelley, and Byron negotiate the meanings of
indignation and rage amidst a clamorous debate over the place of
anger in art and in civil society. This innovative book has much to
contribute to the understanding of Romantic literature and the
cultural history of the emotions.
