About
While Jane Austen's plots are all 'romantic' in the sense that they are love stories, she is usually seen as separate from the literary movement now known as 'Romanticism'. Yet all her novels were published during its heyday. She was a contemporary of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Byron and Scott were among her favourite reading. And her own experiments in prose had more in common than you might think with the ways in which rebel Romantic poets challenged the literary status quo. In this thought-provoking talk, Austen scholar John Mullan will trace the interconnections between the world's favourite romantic novelist and English Romanticism.
