This book will be of value to undergraduate and postgraduate students of English Literature with a specific interest in the Romantics. The writers and texts featured — including the ‘big six’ of Romantic poets, and three canonical novels of the early nineteenth century — are very widely studied on English Literature courses across the UK, US, and Europe. This makes the book an ideal reference text or inspiration point for essays, coursework, and theses, while the concise and accessible style should be especially appealing for undergraduates and lecturers looking for an approachable overview of Romantic responses to revolution and the influence of Milton.
Callum Fraser currently works as a commissioning editor at CRC Press/ Taylor & Francis. He received a PhD from Newcastle University in 2018 with a critical focus on the influence of Milton on the Romantics, as well as undertaking a related creative project. He maintains his interest in this literary period and is currently working on a Gothic novel set in rural Cumberland, 1824.
