Challenging the assumptions which underlie an understanding of the
'Romantics' as solitary and anti-sociable, and Romanticism as
representing the rejection of Enlightenment sociability, this 2002
volume introduces sociability to the field of Romantic literary and
cultural studies. The volume engages with Jurgen Habermas' model of
the 'public sphere' which emphasizes the coffee-house and club as
models of an older, masculine eighteenth-century sociability, and
focuses on the changing nature of sociability in British radical
culture of the 1790s and on the gendered nature of sociability. In
a range of essays which examine modes of sociability as diverse as
circles of sedition, international republicanism, Dissenting
culture, Romantic lecturing, theatre, and shopping, the volume
transforms our understanding of Romanticism by exploring the social
networks of such central Romantic figures as Anna Barbauld, Frances
Burney, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Godwin, William Hazlitt,
Anne Lister, Robert Merry, Joseph Priestley, John Thelwall and Mary
Wollstonecraft.
