This 2005 collection of essays challenges the traditional
conception that British Romanticism was rooted in nature and rural
life, by showing that much of what was new about Romanticism was
born in the city. The essays examine the works and events of the
Romantic period from the point of view of the urban world, where
rapid developments in population, industry, communication, trade,
and technology set the stage and the tone for many of the great
achievements in literature and culture. The great metropolis
appears as both fact and figure: London is its paradigm, but the
metropolitan perspective is also borrowed and projected elsewhere.
In this volume, some of the most exciting critics of Romanticism
explore diverse cultural productions from poems and paintings, to
exhibition sites, panoramas, and political organizations to do
long-overdue justice to the place of the city - both as topic and
as location - in British Romanticism.
