The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 4: The Age of Romanticism - Third Edition
About this book
In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to matters such as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes.
Volume 4: The Age of Romanticism offers expansive representation of the era's poets from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and William Wordsworth to Anna Laetitia Barbauld, James Macpherson, and John Clare. The volume also features a broad sampling of important longer works including Songs of Innocence and of Experience, Castle Rackrent, Lady Susan, The History of Mary Prince, The Giaour, and Hyperion: A Fragment. Key currents in the literature and culture of the period are highlighted in "Contexts" sections addressing such topics as "The French Revolution, " "Gothic Literature, " "Reading, Writing, Publishing, " "The Natural and the Sublime, " and "Slavery and Its Abolition."
A two-volume Concise Edition and a one-volume Compact Edition are also available.
