Welcome to Romanticism Redefined
Romanticism Redefined: Pickering & Chatto and The Wordsworth Circle is a searchable collection of works focusing in the period between 1800 and 1830, that will bring academic research libraries a new, genre-redefining electronic collection of Romantic-era literature. In partnership with Pickering & Chatto Publishers, Alexander Street Press will publish in this collection canonical and previously unrecognized writers from Britain, the British Empire, and North America.
Literature and Science, 1660–1834
In the eighteenth century the term 'science' was used in the sense of 'knowledge' of all sorts. In 8 volumes, Literature and Science reproduces, in facsimile, primary texts which embody the polymathic nature of the literature of science.
The Wordsworth Circle
Founded in 1970, The Wordsworth Circle is an international scholarly journal that publishes to this day contemporary studies of literature, culture, and society in Great Britain, Europe, and North America during the Romantic period. It focuses on the lives, works, and times of such writers of poetry, novels, drama, and non fiction wroks (science, politics, religion, aesthetics, education, legal reform, music).
Travels, Explorations and Empires, 1770–1835
The Romantic period was very rich in popular travel accounts that became the main source of cultural information about other peoples and their societies. The selection of writings in this 8 volume set published by Pickering & Chatto, “reflects the diversity of the literature, revealing something of the cultural and gender difference of the travelers, as well as fuelling debates on colonialism, natural history, anthropology and slavery.”.
