From the Back Cover:
Revolutionize your teaching and research in Romanticism with Romanticism: The CD–ROM! This unique, easy–to–use electronic resource provides students and scholars of Romanticism with a huge range of fully linked texts and images from the Romantic period.
Primary Texts:
- Incorporates and can be used in conjunction with Duncan Wu′s Romanticism: An Anthology.
- Supplements Wu′s anthology with a more generous selection of several writers (e. g. later Wordsworth, more Byron and Hemans).
- Includes canonical versions of a number of well–known poems printed in Wu′s anthology in their earliest versions (e. g. Frost at Midnight, I wandered lonely as a cloud).
- Provides not only primary literary texts, but also a substantial selection of other important texts and materials based on editions published during the period. Much of this material is otherwise available only in archives or through expensive reprints of original editions: Important Political Documents; Writing on Aesthetics; Travel Literature; Extracts on Education; Contemporary Scientific and Medical Documents; Books for Women and About Womens Education; Feminist Writing; Social History; Reviews from Journals of the Period.
- Hypertext links enable students and researchers to experience the intertextuality of writing during the period and to understand the cultural context in which the texts were created.
Contains approximately 1000 high quality graphics, including:
- Illustrations, prints and paintings of the Romantic period from archives and collections across mainland Europe, Britain and the USA with hypertext links to relevant literature and maps.
- Scenes from the English Lake District, the Alps and the ruins of Rome and Pompeii.
- Photographs of landscapes important to the Romantic writers.
- Detailed maps of the travels of the Romantic writers.
The CD–ROM has an easy–to–use tours feature which enables the teacher or student to build their own routes through the database or to take preset introductory tours. Teachers can take their students through the literature and images of their choice and so customise the contents for a particular course e.g. a pathway through the Gothic, a guide to specific author or authors, or a tour of literature relating to a geographical region.
Additional Material:
- Contains a chronology that shows by month and year the main events of the period: births, deaths, main publications, political events, and scientific developments with hypertext links to other relevant parts of the database.
- Incorporates a dictionary of the main people associated with the Romantic period and other leading figures of the time, offering short biographical accounts of each, with main publications where relevant.
- Provides a level of annotation not practicable in a paper–based format.
- Offers users the option to print, search, make notes and add bookmarks as they travel.
- Includes a comprehensive index to all documents and graphics.
Romanticism: The CD–ROM is also available for students as part of Romanticism: An Anthology with CD–ROM, edited by Duncan Wu and David Miall (ISBN 0–631–222693)
The CD–ROM is available for IBM and compatible machines (386 and above) using Windows 3.1 (and later versions) with SGVA screen and CD drive.
