The Oxford Handbook of British Romanticism offers a comprehensive
guide to the literature and thought of the Romantic period, and an
overview of the latest research on this topic. Written by a team of
international experts, the Handbook analyses all aspects of the
Romantic movement, pinpointing its different historical phases and
analysing the intellectual and political currents which shaped
them. It gives particular attention to devolutionary trends,
exploring the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish strands in
'British' Romanticism and assessing the impact of the
constitutional changes that brought into being the 'United Kingdom'
at a time of revolutionary turbulence and international conflict.
It also gives extensive coverage to the publishing and reception
history of Romantic writing, highlighting the role of readers,
reviewers, publishers, and institutions in shaping Romantic
literary culture and transmitting its ideas and values. Divided
into ten sections, each containing four or five chapters, the
Handbook covers key themes and concepts in Romantic studies as well
as less chartered topics such as freedom of speech, literature and
drugs, Romantic oratory, and literary uses of dialect. All the
major male and female Romantic authors are included along with
numerous lesser-known writers, the emphasis throughout being on the
diversity of Romantic writing and the complexities and internal
divisions of the culture that sustained it. The volume strikes a
balance between familiarity and novelty to provide an accessible
guide to current thinking and a conceptual reorganization of this
fast-moving field.
