| Summary: | Michael Tomko’s recent work offers a fresh perspective on British Romanticism by situating it in relation to an important, if overlooked, context: the anxieties concerning Catholic Emancipation. Following an introductory chapter that frames the debate over the Catholic Question, writings by Elizabeth Inchbald, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Walter Scott are examined in relation to the debate. What emerges from such considerations is a new and provocative account of the literature and culture of Romantic Britain., After a brief introduction, Tomko constructs a history of the key figures and crucial moments in the debate that led up to the 1829 Catholic Emancipation Bill. |
