From the ballad-seller to the Highland bard, from 'pot-house
politics' to the language of low and rustic life, the writers and
artists of the British Romantic period drew eclectic inspiration
from the realm of plebeian experience, even as they helped to
constitute the field of popular culture as a new object of polite
consumption. Representing the work of leading scholars from both
Britain and North America, Romanticism and Popular Culture in
Britain and Ireland offers a series of fascinating insights into
changing representations of 'the people', while demonstrating at
the same time a unifying commitment to rethinking some of the
fundamental categories that have shaped our view of the Romantic
period. Addressing a series of key themes, including the ballad
revival, popular politics, urbanization, and literary
canon-formation, the 2009 volume also contains a substantial
introductory essay, which provides a wide-ranging theoretical and
historical overview of the subject.
