Klappentext
In 1819, writers Keats, Shelley, and Wordsworth produced their most acclaimed work, and the craze for Walter Scott's historical novels reached a zenith. Here James Chandler shows how literature engaged the volatile politics of the day and became, in effect, history writing itself. To demonstrate his point, Chandler offers a series of cases of his own built around key texts from the era. Photos.

Zusammenfassung
The year 1819 in England was notable for the quality, value and topicality of its literature, while parliamentary and political reforms were widely demanded, especially by "Romantic" writers. This book argues that the writing demonstrates an awareness of its place both in history, and as history.
