Selection
All of the book chapters and journal articles presented in this resource have been curated in partnership with the Academic Editors, from Taylor & Francis’ extensive range of published materials. Content is arranged into 5 key subject categories, each with their own short subject introductions, to assist research and study, and the newly commissioned thematic essays and videos provide an insightful overview and excellent starting point to different vital topics within Romanticism. The resource focuses on the period 1780-1830, however many of the primary source collections included extend beyond this period.
Content types
- Journal articles – Journal articles have been specifically chosen from a range of Taylor & Francis journals in order to compliment the focus of the resource. The articles include those originally published from 1987-2017.
- Primary source collections – Our primary source collections mainly consist of sets of volumes from our Routledge Major Works programme and the Pickering Masters series. These are edited collections of primary source documents that contain new introductions and editorial notes.
- Whilst some of the primary source collections can be read directly on the site, others can be read on a PDF viewer. This is because many of the primary source collections contain facsimile content.
Many of these volumes are available here for the first time electronically.
- Secondary source chapters – The secondary book chapters on the resource are derived from a wide range of text types, including monographs, handbooks and sourcebooks. Where only part of the book is relevant to the Romanticism resource and time period we cover, only the relevant chapters are included.
- Thematic essays and videos – The thematic essays and videos have been commissioned especially for this resource and offer readers an insightful overview of key topics in Romanticism.
- Subject introductions – These subject introductions have been designed to provide users with a brief overview of 5 main subject categories within Romanticism. Written by the Academic Editors of the resource, each introduction explains what the categories cover and make interesting reading suggestions.
- Gallery images – The images included come from the private collections of Professor Duncan Wu and Professor Emeritus Paul Betz.
