Edited by Jon Mee, Matthew Sangster
Part of the Edinburgh Critical Studies in Romanticism series
Hardback
Description
Reconsiders the 1820s, an unjustly neglected, highly self-conscious decade defined by massive and anxiety-inducing cultural transformations. Innovative essays cover a broad range of interdisciplinary topics, including book history, periodical culture, media forms, music, theatre, visual art, and provincial and colonial writingInterweaves short keyword essays providing additional insights into major concerns of the decade as expressed in the language of the timeThe product of a collaborative research process bringing together senior scholars and early-career researchersThe 1820s has commonly been overlooked in literary and cultural studies, seen as a barren interregnum between the achievements of Romanticism and the Victorian era proper, or, at best, as a time of transition bridging two major periods of cultural production.
This volume contends that the innovations, fears and experiments of the 1820s are both of considerable interest in themselves and vital for comprehending how Victorian and Romantic culture wrote and visioned one another into being.
Remediating the 1820s explores the decade's own sense of itself as a period of expansion in terms of the projection of British power and knowledge, but also its tremendous uncertainty about where this left traditional identities and moral values.
In doing so, the collection articulates how specific novelties, transformations and anxieties of the time remediated and remade culture and society in manners that continue powerfully to resonate.
