Romantic Writings

Romantic Writingslooks at the body of poetry and prose written during one of the most significant European literary movements, between 1780-1830. Providing a unique critical anthology of writings by Blake, Wordsworth, Byron, Coleridge, Keats and Shelley, author Stephen Bygrave also includes lesser-known texts by women writers such as Mary Alcock, Joanna Baillie, Maria Edgeworth, Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, and Mary Wollstonecraft. Topical discussions of issues such as the notion of the Romantic artist and colonialism and "the exotic", are combined with practical exercises in each chapter for analyzing key passages of text and criticism, making this a useful and reader-friendly introduction to the subject.
