This book studies the impact of violence on the writing of the Romantic period. The focus is on the response of writers to a series of violent events including the revolutions in America and France and the Irish rebellion of 1798. Authors covered include Coleridge, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron, Fennimore Cooper, Equiano, and Helen Maria Williams.
This book is the first comprehensive study of the subject of spectacular violence in British Romantic literature and print culture. It looks at the impact and influence of a series of catastrophically violent events: the transatlantic slave trade; the American war of Independence and the ''Indian'' problem; the French revolution and the Napoleonic wars; the Irish rebellion of 1798; and a series of riots and ''disturbances'' stretching from the Gordon riots of 1780 to the Reform Bill riots of 1831.
