Anti-Jacobin Novels, Part I

Claudia L Johnson

This edition reveals the flipside of Romantic-era literature and politics. Until fairly recently critical studies had focused on pre-Revolution writers, almost to the exclusion of the anti-Jacobin novelists who in the 1790s were part of an active conservative backlash and produced a significant body of writing. These novels are increasingly being considered an important part of the Romantic corpus, resulting in a growing demand among academics for the resource texts. This set includes works by male and female writers holding a range of political positions within the Anti-Jacobin camp, and represents not only the French Revolution but the American Revolution, the Irish Rebellion and the political unrest in Scotland. The conservative authors are often explicitly opposed to the emancipation of women and this work should be of interest to scholars of women’s studies as well as Romanticism.
