Aidan Day is Reader in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. It is tailor-made for students new to the subject, who will find it essential reading and a solid base for further study. Romanticism is an accessible, succinct and up-to-date introductory textbook. At the same time, the issues raised in the book are discussed in relation to a wide range of other writers of the period, both canonical and non-canonical, from Jane Austen and Robert Burns to Charlotte Smith and Anna Laetitia Barbauld. The writings of these poets, still the basis of many readings of Romanticism, are placed in the context of political and philosophical thinkers such as Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine and Mary Wollstonecraft. Aidan Day summarizes changing views of Romanticism in relation to what has, until recently, been seen as the canon of British Romantic writers: William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats. Overall, the book argues that the politically radical aspects of literature of the period would more usefully be described as ‘late Enlightenment’, while the term Romantic may be taken to define, among other things, an essentially conservative tendency of thought. It surveys various readings by contemporaries of Romanticism and brings the survey up to date by considering post-structuralist, newhistoricist and gender-oriented perspectives on the subject. Romanticism traces the major writers, terms and debates associated with the genre. It was an epoch defined by responses to the revolutionary politics which were epitomized by the French Revolution. ROMANTICISM Romantic writers worked during one of the most momentous epochs of western cultural history.
