British Romanticism (Routledge Criticism And Debates In Literature)

British Romanticism: Criticism and Debates allows students to develop their own critical opinions through focused argument, rather than absorbing conventional analysis. Organized as a series of key debates, essays range from previously published 'classic' criticism that students need to know, to newly commissioned pieces offering fresh takes on this core area of literary studies. An editorial introduction accompanies each of the following sections: Aesthetics and Literary Form Audiences and Reading Publics Authorship and Authority Literature, Politics, and Ideology Gender, Sexuality, and the Body Racism, Nationalism, Colonialism, Imperialism The Emotions Religion and Secularization Modernity and Postmodernity Sciences of Mind, Body, and Nature Literature, Media, Mediation. Additional features include suggestions for further reading and a glossary of terms. Designed to appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate readers, this distinctive volume reflects the vibrant debate across Romantic Studies in the past twenty years. For that reason, the needs of more established scholars wishing to gain a clearer sense of the period are also addressed.
