The Rise of the Romantics, 1789-1815: Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Jane Austen (Oxford History of English Literature

Oxford History of English Literature #11

by William Lindsay Renwick

Part of the complete reissue of The Oxford History of English Literature, this volume concentrates on the Romantic movement, but does not strictly adhere to the period 1789 to 1815. It includes authors whose most characteristic work was published during this period though their roots were in the past, and also people such as Wordsworth and Coleridge who made their names long before 1815.

Genres: Nonfiction, Literary Criticism
