Gregory Dart expands upon existing notions of Cockneys and the
'Cockney School' in the late Romantic period by exploring some of
the broader ramifications of the phenomenon in art and periodical
literature. He argues that the term was not confined to discussion
of the Leigh Hunt circle, but was fast becoming a way of gesturing
towards everything in modern metropolitan life that seemed
discrepant and disturbing. Covering the ground between Romanticism
and Victorianism, Dart presents Cockneyism as a powerful critical
currency in this period, which helps provide a link between the
works of Leigh Hunt and Keats in the 1810s and the early works of
Charles Dickens in the 1830s. Through an examination of literary
history, art history, urban history and social history, this book
identifies the early nineteenth-century figure of the Cockney as
the true ancestor of modernity.
