From the Back Cover

Romanticism and Revolution: A Reader presents an anthology of the key texts that defined the tumultuous debate surrounding the French Revolution. The anthology features generous selections from major contributors to the 'Revolution debate' - from Price, Burke and Paine to Wollstonecraft and Godwin. Excerpts of these seminal texts reveal how the ideas and the language in which they were expressed defined the politics of culture for Romanticism. We see how Romantic authors - whether they rejected, embraced or remained in a more complex relationship with revolutionary politics - regularly returned to the language and ideas of these key texts in their poems, novels and essays. Romanticism and Revolution offers rich insights into one of the most far-reaching and consequential debates in literary and cultural history - one whose impact resonates to this day.
