Romanticism, Publishing and Dissent
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Romanticism, Publishing and Dissent by H Braithwaite
Joseph Johnson (1738-1809) was arguably the foremost bookseller of the late eighteenth century in England, publishing Joseph Priestley, William Cowper, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Mary Wollstonecroft, Wordsworth and Coleridge, among others, and his output closely linked to the turbulent events of his age. This book seeks to reassess the reputation of a man unfairly condemned in his own time as a dangerously 'radical' publisher and how far the works he published tended to promote the case for religious and political reform.'This is a well argued and widely research book which sheds much valuable light on the political and religious history of this period' - Contemporary Review
HELEN BRAITHWAITE is Lecturer in Romantic Literature at the School of English, Queen's University Belfast.
