About This Book
"Waterloo and the Romantic Imagination offers a new and challenging look at the cultural significance of the Battle of Waterloo, the impact it had on British Romanticism and the responses of both canonical and non-canonical poets, travel writers, journalists and painters. Drawing on a range of literary critical, psychoanalytical and socio-historical approaches, Shaw aims to redefine the Romantic period as an age of inter- and intra-national conflict, thus overturning conventional notions of 'The Romantic Project', and rewriting the period from first principles. Topics covered include: the impact of Waterloo on Romantic ideas of individual and national identity, the representation of the dead and wounded in poetry, painting and prose, the work of major Romantic poets and lesser-known figures."--Jacket.
