Jeffrey N. Cox reconsiders the history of British Romanticism,
seeing the work of Byron, the Shelleys, and Keats responding not
only to the 'first generation' Romantics led by Wordsworth, but
more directly to the cultural innovations of the Napoleonic War
years. Recreating in depth three moments of political crisis and
cultural creativity - the Peace of Amiens, the Regency Crisis, and
Napoleon's first abdication - Cox shows how 'second generation'
Romanticism drew on cultural 'border raids', seeking a global
culture at a time of global war. This book explores how the
introduction on the London stage of melodrama in 1803 shaped
Romantic drama, how Barbauld's prophetic satire Eighteen Hundred
and Eleven prepares for the work of the Shelleys, and how Hunt's
controversial Story of Rimini showed younger writers how to draw on
the Italian cultural archive. Responding to world war, these
writers sought to embrace a radically new vision of the world.
