Description
Bloody Romanticism is the first attempt to study the impact of spectacular violence on the literature and culture of the Romantic period. In the late eighteenth century, the British reading public experienced a series of catastrophically violent events: the revolutions in America and France, the Irish rebellion of 1798, the campaign against the slave trade, and the Gordon riots. In order to raise public awareness about the violent reality of these conflicts, writers and artists made the graphic representation of atrocity a powerful tool of representation. By drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including fiction, poetry, drama, journalism, pamphlets, sermons, slave autobiography, captivity narratives, satire and the epic, Ian Haywood shows that the Romantic imagination was profoundly marked by this disturbing and controversial theme. Authors covered include Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, Scott, Edgeworth, Byron, Fennimore Cooper, Equiano, Barlow, Cobbett, George Walker and Helen Maria WIlliams.
