Publisher's Synopsis
""The French Revolution and the English Poets: A Study in Historical Criticism"" is a book written by Albert Elmer Hancock and published in 1899. The book explores the influence of the French Revolution on English poets of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron. Hancock analyzes the ways in which these poets responded to the events of the French Revolution, and how their poetry reflects their attitudes towards the political and social upheaval of the time. The book also examines the cultural and literary context in which these poets were writing, and how their work was received by contemporary audiences.Through close readings of the poets' works and historical analysis, Hancock argues that the French Revolution had a profound impact on English literature, shaping the themes and styles of Romantic poetry. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of literature, history, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of politics and art during this pivotal period in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
