The "Companion to Romanticism" is a major introductory survey by an
international collection of scholars, whose 52 specially
commissioned contributions are aimed specifically at a student
readership.
Divided into four parts - Contexts and Perspectives 1790-1830;
Readings; Genres and Modes; and Issues and Debates - the
"Companion" provides students new to the subject with a vital
orientation and foundation for study, and also offers senior and
graduate students an important focus upon new developments and
possible future directions.
Contexts and perspectives vital to our understanding of the
origins and evolution of the concept of Romanticism are elucidated
in a section of eight introductory essays. There follow 22 readings
of key texts, canonical and postcanonical, from Wordsworth's
Prelude (by Johnathan Wordsworth) to Joanna Baillie's A Series of
Plays (by Janice Patten) and Felicia Heman's Records of Woman (by
Adams Roberts).
A section on genres and modes includes Frederick on 'The
Romantic Drama', John Sutherland on 'The Novel' and David Maill on
'Gothic Fiction'. In a final group of essays 15 contributors
explore key issues and debates.
