An Oxford Companion to The Romantic Age: British Culture 1776-1832 (repost)

For the first time, this innovative reference book surveys the Romantic Age through all aspects of British culture, rather than in literary or artistic terms alone. This multi-disciplinary approach treats Romanticism both in aesthetic terms-its meaning for painting, music, design, architecture, and literature-and as a historical epoch of "revolutionary" transformations which ushered in modern democratic and industrialized society.
