Brief, manageable, and affordable, the books in the Contexts series
fill the gap in students' knowledge of the historical facts,
literary associations, and wider cultural climate of the main
literary periods. As well as offering a background in relevant
social history, these texts include selected extracts from original
documents to give a full flavour of the period in question.
The Romantic period was a turbulent time in which England changed
from a primarily agricultural society to a modern industrial
nation. The French Revolution, economic cycles of inflation and
depression, and an enlarged and increasingly restless working
class, created circumstances for profound social and political
change. Looking at poetry and fiction against the "spirit of the
age," this book discusses issues of science and art, psychology and
the supernatural, revolutionary politics and social vision, satire
and morality, and at the same time provides an introduction to the
work of Austen, Blake, Burns, Byron, Keats, Radcliffe, Shelley,
Charlotte Smith, Mary Wollstonecraft, and William Wordsworth.
