Items related to The Long 18th Century (Contexts)
The Long 18th Century surveys the social and cultural matrices of British literature of the period 1660-1790. Taking a thematic approach, the book situates literary texts in the contexts from which they took their distinctive character and force. Literature shaped and responded to seismic political and economic changes, the problems of religious belief, the development of the science of mind and personality, conflict between country and city, and expanding world horizons. This book examines the effects of these sometimes conflicting pressures on poetry, prose and drama. The Long 18th Century looks at a range of major and less well known writers including Aphra Behn, James Boswell, John Bunyan, Susanna Centlivre, George Crabbe, Daniel Defoe, John Dryden, Sarah Fyge Egerton, Olaudah Equiano, Henry Fielding, Anne Finch, John Gay, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Gray, Samuel Johnson, Mary Leapor, John Milton, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Alexander Pope, Samuel Richardson, Jonathan Swift and James Thomson.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The books in the Contexts series provide broad-ranging and accessible information about the literary, historical and cultural background of the major periods and genres, Taking its instigation from the ways in which literary texts define their own area of reference within their historical moment, each volume also questions canonical readings of its period, and contains relevant extracts from contemporary documents to aid further discussion. This book looks at a range of writers including Aphra Behn, John Dryden, Oliver Goldsmith, Samuel Richardson and Jonathan Swift. By combining fresh readings of familiar and unfamiliar texts with a new enquiry into the relationship between writers and their world, it provides a thorough and wide-ranging account of an energetic and troubled age. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780340813720
