The French Revolution ignited the biggest debate on politics
and society in Britain since the Civil War 150 years earlier. The
public controversy lasted from the initial, positive reaction to
French events in 1789 to the outlawing of the radical societies in
1799. This Cambridge Companion highlights the energy, variety and
inventiveness of the literature written in response to events in
France and the political reaction at home. It contains thirteen
specially commissioned essays by an international team of
historians and literary scholars, a chronology of events and
publications, and an extensive guide to further reading. Six essays
concentrate on the principal writers of the Revolution controversy:
Burke, Paine, Godwin and Wollstonecraft. Others deal with popular
radical culture, counter-revolutionary culture, the distinctive
contribution of women writers, novels of opinion, drama, and
poetry. This volume will serve as a comprehensive yet accessible
reference work for students, advanced researchers and
scholars.
The first single volume overview of British literary responses to
the French Revolution ? Contributors include historians as well as
literary scholars ? Includes a chronology of historical events and
major works, and a guide to further reading
