Description
Eighteen Hundred and Eleven: A Study of Poetry and Protest in 19th-Century England In 1811, England was on the brink of economic collapse and revolution. A powerful poem, Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, published by Anna Letitia Barbauld, foretold a Britain reduced to ruins by its refusal to end the war with France. This groundbreaking study, by E. J. Clery, challenges the common perception of the poem's reception and explores its significance as a medium of political protest. Clery examines the issues at stake, including the nature of patriotism and the threat to public credit, shedding new light on the views and activities of a range of writers, including radical, loyalist, and dissenting journalists. By placing a woman writer at the centre of the enquiry, Clery opens up a revised perspective on the politics of Romanticism.
