Résumé

Marilyn Butler shows that one of the most dynamic and stressful periods of modern history fostered a literature that was itself various and contradictory.

Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries Résumé

Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries: English Literature and its Background 1760-1830 Marilyn Butler (King Edward VII Professor of English Literature, King Edward VII Professor of English Literature, University of Cambridge)

The Age of Revolutions and its aftermath is unparalleled in English literature. Its poets include Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats; its novelists, Jane Austen and Scott. But how is it that some of these writers were apparently swept up in Romanticism, and others not? Studies of Romanticism have tended to adopt the Romantic viewpoint. They value creativity, imagination and originality - ideas which nineteenth-century writers themselves used to promote a new image of their calling. Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries puts the movement in to its historical setting and provides a new insight in Romanticism itself, showing that one of the most dynamic and stressful periods of modern times fostered a literature that was itself various and contradictory.
