Literature 1780–1830: The Romantic Period

Abstract

Works focusing on political and philosophical writings of the Romantic period published in 2015 include both author-specific studies and broader studies of Romantic-era philosophy and its permeation in literary works. These works will be dealt with in the first part of this section. It will then move on to discuss recent work in the field of women’s writing, focusing on three longer works, and articles on Frances Burney, Mary Wollstonecraft, Felicia Hemans, Mary Tighe, and articles focusing on specific male writers. Finally, this section will deal with works in the field of material and print culture, which account for many of the general and prose works published in 2015.
