European Romanticism and Victorian Culture: A Study in Literary Theory This second volume in the Reading and Studying Literature series explores two pivotal periods in European literary history. By focusing on an overarching theme, students can gain a deeper understanding of these complex cultural movements. The book delves into the evolution of the romantic author and the concept of the romantic inner life through readings from influential writers such as Wordsworth, Shelley, and de Quincey. It also examines Victorian culture by exploring ideas of 'home' and 'abroad' in the works of notable authors like Emily Bronte, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Robert Louis Stevenson. At its core, this volume is concerned with a fundamental question: what makes an author? By examining these themes and concepts, readers can gain a richer understanding of European romanticism and Victorian culture.
