  A brief introduction to the literary, social and political contexts of the work of the British Romantic poets. The author approaches the period from a number of unusual angles - political journalism and cartoons, gender roles in society in general and in literary production, women poets - but keeps a steady eye on the major literary figures whose work will be at the front of the student's mind. Visual material is used to convey the intellectual and political climate and concerns of the day.
