Description
Aidan Day considers the history and usage of the term Romanticism, and the changing views and debates which surround it. He traces its history through nineteenth and twentieth-century readings, incorporating contemporary debates such as feminism, post-structuralism and new historicism. Day places the traditional canon in the wider context of their contemporary political and philosophical thinkers. A range of writers, both canonical and non-canonical, are included in his survey, including:
William Blake
William Wordsworth
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
John Keats
Shelley
Edmund Blake
Thomas Paine
Mary Wollstonecraft
Jane Austen
Charlotte Smith
Anna Laetitia Barbauld
Romanticism takes a clear, wide-ranging view of the subject and is essential reading for students new to the subject.
