The unit will introduce students to primary and theoretical texts addressing central questions about political contexts of writing in the Romantic period. Issues that may be studied include: war, trials and imprisonment, censorship, poverty and charity, the city, gender politics, the politics of the gothic, women&�s writing of the period, revolution. Like other parts of this programme, this unit will be structured so as to combine the investigation of these wider issues with sharply focused readings of a wide range of canonical and less well-known texts and authors.
