Romanticism and the Rural Community investigates the representation
of the rural village and country town in a range of Romantic texts.
The proper organisation of rural communities was central to
political and social debates at the turn of the eighteenth century,
and featured strongly in 1790s political polemic. This book
considers works by Jane Austen, Robert Burns, John Clare and
William Wordsworth, as well as less well-known writers (Robert
Bloomfield, George Crabbe and Ebenezer Elliott). It is informed by
ideas derived from recent study of communitarian social development
and the role of human links and networks in sustaining adaptable
community structures. Through its focus on the search for local
solutions to what were perceived to be large-scale or national
problems of sustainability, the book is relevant to recent
developments in eco-criticism within Romantic studies. It also
links into the ongoing contemporary debate about the make-up and
function of rural communities.
