The Cambridge Companion to British Romanticism

by Stuart Curran (Editor)

Until now there has been no concerted attempt to represent to students of Romanticism the full range of conflicting forces responsible for its dynamic literature. The eleven original essays that make up this volume make a significant contribution to our understanding of the period, providing readers with clear and coherent access to the historical roots, intellectual ferment and cultural range of British Romanticism. It includes a chronology of major publications and events, and an extensive guide to further reading.

Reviews

[Lura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely useful as an overview of British Romantics if you are taking a class on it. Curran's own essays are the best in the collection.

[Charlotte · Rating 3 out of 5]

Used for module research. Read three essays from the collection. Suitably helpful, especially 'Romanticism, criticism, and theory' by David Simpson.
