Romanticism has often been associated with lyric poetry, or otherwise confined within mainstream genres. As a result, we have neglected the sheer diversity and generic hybridity of a literature that ranged from the Gothic novel to the national tale, from monthly periodicals to fictionalized autobiography. In this new volume some of the leading scholars of the period explore the relationship between ideology and literary genre from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The introduction offers a fresh examination of how genre was rethought by Romantic criticism.

In this innovative study Julia M. Wright addresses rarely asked questions: how and why does one colonized nation write about another? Wright focuses on the way nineteenth-century Irish writers wrote about India, showing how their own experience of colonial subjection and unfulfilled national aspirations informed their work. Their writings express sympathy with the colonised or oppressed people of India in order to unsettle nineteenth-century imperialist stereotypes, and demonstrate their own opposition to the idea and reality of empire. Drawing on Enlightenment philosophy, studies of...

William Blake s reputation as a staunch individualist is based in large measure on his repeated attacks on institutions and belief systems that constrain the individual s imagination. Blake, however, rarely represents isolation positively, suggesting that the individual s absolute freedom from communal pressures is not the ideal. Instead, as Julia Wright argues in her award-winning study "Blake, Nationalism, and the Politics of Alienation," Blake s concern lies with the kind of community that is being established. Moreover, writing at the moment of the emergence of modern nationalism, Blake...

The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys is a fast-paced tale of political intrigue and aristocratic vanity--a romp through 1793 Dublin as Ireland pitches towards the United Irishmen Uprising of 1798.

The O'Briens' original footnotes and authorial...

Men with stakes moves beyond a focus on gothic machinery (those things that go bump in the night) and television adaptations of literary gothic. It considers television gothic in light of recent discussion and scholarship on the mode itself, from Burkean ideas of obscurity to the mode's allusiveness and fundamental challenge to televisual realism, an approach that requires detailed attention to specific episodes. This study therefore contributes not only to gothic television studies but also to gothic studies and television studies as distinct fields. Men with stakes specifically examines the...
