Inhalt
The last decade of the 18th and the first four decades of the 19th century were an exciting period in English literary and cultural history. At first, the Revolution in France was enthusiastically greeted by some of the ‘first-generation Romantic poets’ such as Blake, Wordsworth or Southey, but after the ‘terror’ gripped France and Napoleon waged war with England, these poets re-evaluated their positions. We will read some of the revolutionary poetry by William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Wordsworth and others, but also poetry that, on the surface, seems to be the very opposite of ‘political’ – such as the rural, bucolic poetry of Robert Bloomfield. This was also the period when going to the theatre became a new form of mass entertainment, and we will look at a couple of plays (by George Colman the Younger and Matthew Lewis) that were tremendously popular in their time but which hardly anybody remembers any more. Conversely, the novel we will read, Pride and Prejudice, continues to enjoy a lot of success. However, whether the reasons for that sustained popularity can actually be found in the text is a contentious question. By relocating the novel in the culture of its time, and by analysing some of our modern, ‘Neo-Romantic’ projections onto the novel, I hope that we can answer this question.
