English Fiction of the Romantic Period 1789-1830 is the first
comprehensive historical survey of fiction from that period for
many decades. It combines a clear awareness of the period's social
history with recent developments in literary criticism, theory and
history, and explains the astounding variety of forms in Romantic
fiction in terms of the various cultural, political, social,
regional and gender conflicts of the time. It provides a
broad-ranging survey from the major authors and works through to
the sub-genres of the period. Jan Austin and Sir Alter Scott are
discussed alongside the Gothic Romance, political and feminist
fiction, social satire and regional, rural and historical novels.
It also provides a comparison of the methods of distribution and
marketing and the availability of books then and now; examines
cheap popular fiction and children's fiction, and considers the
recent debate about the place of prose fiction in a Romantic
literature hitherto dominated by poetry.
