Romanticism by Duncan Wu
The second edition of Romanticism: An Anthology is widely regarded as the most comprehensive collection available of poetry and prose by the British Romantics. This magnificent Anthology is now available as a package with David Miall and Duncan Wu's revolutionary Romanticism: The CD-ROM.Both works reflect recent developments in Romantic scholarship, particularly in the expansion of the literary canon. Alongside unabridged texts from canonical writers are works by women and writers in other genres, including political and philosophical writers, diarists, painters, broadside-balladeers, reviewers and letter-writers.Additions for the second edition of the Anthology include Wordsworth's The Ruined Cottage, The Pedlar, Michael, The Brothers, and extracts from The Five-Book Prelude, and the Fourteen-Book Prelude: Coleridge's This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison, Kubla Khan, The Pains of Sleep, Dejection: An Ode, The Eolian Harp, and Frost at Midnight: Byron's Stanzas to Augusta, Epistle to Augusta and Don Juan Canto II. Substantial editorial material includes an introduction exploring the phenomenon of romanticism: detailed annotations and author headnotes providing biographical details: lists of significant recent criticism and in many cases brief critical introductions.The unique, easy to use CD-ROM both incorporates the anthology (in its first edition, including Wordsworth's Prelude (1805) in its entirety) and provides substantial selections from over ninety other writers. Built-in hypertext links enable readers to experience the intertextuality of writing during this period and understand the cultural context in which the texts were created.The CD-ROM offers a huge range of resources including:More than 1200 high-quality graphics, including illustrations, prints and paintings: scenes from the English Lake District, the Alps, and the ruins of Rome and Pompeii: photographs of landscapes and detailed maps.Chronologies.A biographic dictionary of the key figures of the period.A 'tours' feature, which enables teachers or students to build their own routes through the CD-ROM or to take preset introductory tours e.g. through 'slavery'. Romanticism: An Anthology with CD-ROM is the most exciting resource available for students and researchers discovering the Romantic Period.| SKU | Unavailable |
