British Romantic writers and the East / Nigel Leask

Public ISBD Titre : British Romantic writers and the East : anxieties of Empire / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nigel Leask Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1992 Collection : Cambridge studies in Romanticism Importance : xvi, 266 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60444-4 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : English literature  Asian influences  History  criticism  19th century  Romanticism  Great Britain  Imperialism  literature  Exoticism Index. décimale : 820.9145 Résumé : The recent turn to political and historical readings of Romanticism has given us a more complex picture of the institutional, cultural and sexual politics of the period. There has been a tendency, however, to confine such study to the European scene. In this book, Nigel Leask sets out to study the work of Byron, Shelley and De Quincey (together with a number of other major and minor Romantic writers, including Robert Southey and Tom Moore) in relation to Britain's imperial designs on the 'Orient'. Combining historical and theoretical approaches with detailed analyses of specific works, it examines the anxieties and instabilities of Romantic representations of the Ottoman Empire, India, China and the Far East. It argues that these anxieties were not marginal but central to the major concerns of British Romantic writers. The book is illustrated with a number of engravings from the period, giving a visual dimension to the discussion of Romantic representations of the East.

Poetics of Character / Susan Manning

Public ISBD Titre : Poetics of Character : Transatlantic Encounters 1700-1900 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan Manning, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2015 Collection : Cambridge studies in Romanticism Importance : 336 p. Format : 22.86 x 15.24 x 1.78 centimetres (0.45 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-49802-0 Langues : Anglais Résumé : This study of character in a comparative context presents a new approach to transatlantic literary history. Rereading Romanticism across national, generic and chronological boundaries, and through close textual comparisons, it offers exciting possibilities for rediscovering how literature engages and persuades readers of the reality of character. Historically grounded in the eighteenth-century philosophical, political and cultural conditions that generated nation-based literary history, it reveals alternative narratives to those of origin and succession, influence and reception. It also reintroduces rhetoric and poetics as ways of addressing questions about uniqueness and representativeness in character creation, epistemological issues of identity and impersonation, and the generation of literary value. Drawing comparisons between works from Alexander Pope and Cotton Mather through Robert Burns, Jane Austen, John Keats, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, R. W. Emerson, Margaret Fuller and Herman Melville, to George Eliot and Henry James, Susan Manning reveals surprising metaphorical, metonymic and performative connections. Note de contenu : Table of Contents: Prologue; Part I. Transatlantic Literary History and the Poetics of Character: 1. 'Is analogy argument?'; Part II. Reading Character in Comparison: 2. Transatlantic contagion and the seductions of allegory; 3. Characterless women; 4. Characters and representatives; 5. Literary friendship and transatlantic correspondences; 6. Subjects and objects: 'always joined, never settled'; 7. Historical characters: virtue ethics and the limits of romantic biography; 8. Poetics of character.

Romanticism and slave narratives / Helen Thomas

Public ISBD Titre : Romanticism and slave narratives : transatlantic testimonies Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Helen Thomas, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2000 Collection : Cambridge studies in Romanticism num. 38 Importance : 1 vol. (XI-332 p.) Présentation : ill., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60456-7 Prix : 18.99GBP Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : Helen Thomass study opens a new avenue for Romantic literary studies by exploring connections with literature produced by slaves, slave owners, abolitionists and radical dissenters between 1770 and 1830. In the first major attempt to relate canonical Romantic texts to the writings of the African diaspora, she investigates English literary Romanticism in the context of a transatlantic culture, and African culture in the context of eighteenth-century Britain. In so doing, the book reveals an intertextual dialogue between two diverse yet equally rich cultural spheres, and their corresponding systems of thought, epistemology and expression. Showing how marginalised slaves and alienated radical dissenters contributed to transatlantic debates over civil and religious liberties, Helen Thomas remaps Romantic literature on this broader canvas of cultural exchanges, geographical migrations and identity-transformation, in the years before and after the abolition of the slave trade.

The romantic reformation / Robert M. Ryan

Public ISBD Titre : The romantic reformation : religious politics in English literature, 1789-1824 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert M. Ryan, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Cambridge studies in Romanticism num. 24 Importance : 292 p Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60454-3 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : This is the first book to examine the literature of the Romantic period as a conscious attempt to effect the religious transformation of society. Robert Ryan argues that the political quarrel that preoccupied England during the Romantic period was in large part an argument about the religious character of the nation, and that the Romantics became active and conspicuous participants in this public debate. Where critics have traditionally viewed the Romantics as creative metaphysicians articulating private visions of a transcendent order in detachment from actual social conflict, Ryan shows instead that their religious prescriptions were formulated in response to specific historical and social circumstances. This book shows how the careers of Blake, Wordsworth, Byron, Keats, and the Shelleys are radically reconfigured when viewed in the context of the periodās passionate debate on religion, politics and society.
