Description
This reference work surveys the social, cultural, and intellectual climate of English Romanticism from the 1760s to the mid-1830s. Focusing on the "spirit of the age", the volume reflects the aesthetic, scientific, economic and social environments which gave rise not only to the traditional Romantic poets, but many other influential artists, thinkers and agents of change. In a single, unified source it presents the depth and breadth of international scholarship on this rich and diverse period. Ranging from the French Revolution to the First Reform Bill and Victoria's accession, the work covers poets, playwrights, novelists, critics, editors, publishers, booksellers, painters, patrons, philosophers, politicians, economists, scientists, and architects. It explores ideas, trends and conventions of the age - from the well-known to the newly-discovered - and presents the latest interpretations by scholars in the field. There are also entries relating to French, German, Russian, Spanish and American Romanticism.
This book should be of interest to students and scholars of literature, English History, art history and women's studies, and anyone interested in tracing the origin of modernism and postmodernism.
