Revolution in Writing: British Literary Responses to the French Revolution (Ideas & production) Book

The essays collected in this volume are drawn from the conferences which took place throughout the British academic community in 1989 to mark the bicentenary of the French Revolution. Mary Wollstonecraft, Edmund Burke and Tom Paine provide a strong recurring central focus of attention, but there are also searching considerations of the impact of the Revolution on the Romantic poets, and on such relatively neglected figures as Hannah More, who here receives constructive analysis from a feminist perspective. Theoretical issues are also a major interest in this volume, including both the Revolutionary period's own attempts to theorize its experience, and our contemporary struggle to establish a mode of literary-historical analysis which can mediate between text, history and theory.Read More
