Nineteenth-century Britain saw the rise of secularism, the
development of a modern capitalist economy, multi-party democracy,
and an explosive growth in technological, scientific and medical
knowledge. It also witnessed the emergence of a mass literary
culture which changed permanently the relationships between
writers, readers and publishers. Focusing on the work of British
and Irish authors, The Routledge Concise History of
Nineteenth-Century Literature considers changes in literary forms,
styles and genres, as well as in critical discourses. It examines
literary movements such as Romanticism, Pre-Raphaelitism,
Aestheticism and Decadence. It considers the work of a wide range
of canonical and non-canonical writers. It discusses the impact of
gender studies, queer theory, postcolonialism and book history. It
contains useful, student-friendly features such as explanatory text
boxes, chapter summaries, a detailed glossary and suggestions for
further reading. In their lucid and accessible manner, Josephine M.
Guy and Ian Small provide readers with an understanding of the
complexity and variety of nineteenth-century literary culture, as
well as the historical conditions which produced it.
