The Romantic period was one of the most creative, intense and
turbulent periods of English literature, an age marked by
revolution, reaction, and reform in politics, and by the invention
of imaginative literature in its distinctively modern form. This
History presents an engaging account of six decades of literary
production around the turn of the nineteenth century. Reflecting
the most up-to-date research, the essays are designed both to
provide a narrative of Romantic literature, and to offer new and
stimulating readings of the key texts. One group of essays
addresses the various locations of literary activity - both in
England and, as writers developed their interests in travel and
foreign cultures, across the world. A second set of essays traces
how texts responded to great historical and social change. With a
comprehensive bibliography, timeline and index, this volume will be
an important resource for research and teaching in the field.
