Romantic Metropolis: The Urban Scene of British Culture, 1780-1840 Book

This collection of new essays challenges the traditional conception that British Romanticism was rooted in nature and rural life, by showing that much of what was new about Romanticism was born in the city. Rapid developments in urban population, industry, communication, trade, and technology set the stage and the tone for many of the great achievements in literature and culture. In this volume, some of the most exciting critics of Romanticism do long-overdue justice to the place of the city--both as topic and as location--in British Romanticism.Read More
