Not surprisingly therefore the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary War, impacting as they did on British domestic politics, had a huge influence on what the British press produced in the years between 1789 and 1802.

Taylor 2 THE ITALIAN JOURNEY OF HESTER LYNCH PIOZZI; The personal and cultural transformation of a Georgian lady Molly George Taylor A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Mount Holyoke College in partial fulfillment of The requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honor. History Department Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, Massachusetts April 29, 2005 3 Acknowledgements This thesis project has taken me on journey across Europe and through time and it has only been possible through the generosity of both old and new friends. The journey began and ended with the guidance of Mount Holyoke College professors, foremost my advisor, Frederick McGinness. I am also grateful for the further mentoring of Barbara Stevenson, Ombretta Frau and Robert Schwartz. Research of my topic was generously funded by a Pugh grant in the summer of 2004 and the Almara grant in January 2005. Thanks to the benefactors of those awards and to the history department that administered them. The entire history department was supportive of this project, especially Holly Sharac and Holly Hanson. Youth hostels and dear friends in England and Italy provided inspiration, enlightening conversation, and lodgings while conducting research. The Langford family in Cambridge became my own for the month of June 2004. Tom Müller in Florence and Prudence Crane in Bologna were my spiritual mentors while abroad and their homes gave me quiet refuges for study.

Central to the movement’s achievement was the creation of an idea of ‘the people’ brought into being through print and publicity. Radical clubs rose and fell in the face of the hostile attentions of government. They were sustained by a faith in the press as a form of ‘print magic’, but confidence in the liberating potential of the printing press was interwoven with hard-headed deliberations over how best to animate and represent the people. Ideas of disinterested rational debate were thrown into the mix with coruscating satire, rousing songs, and republican toasts. Print personality became a vital interface between readers and text exploited by the cast of radicals returned to history in vivid detail by Print, Publicity, and Popular Radicalism.

  • 4 the Romantic Period, 1780–1832 PETER J
    4 The Romantic period, 1780–1832 PETER J. KITSON This overview of the history of the Romantic period provides a narrative of the major social, political and cultural trends which occurred between the years 1780 and 1832 and which impacted on the literature produced by the men and women who lived through them. The Romantic period witnessed enormous political and social upheaval with such political events and social processes as the American and French Revolutions, the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the prosecution and criticism of the transatlantic slave trade, the Great Reform Act of 1832, the Industrial Revolution, and much more. In this period Britain relinquished its American Colonies but found a new empire in other parts of the world, transforming itself into a global superpower. The Romantic Age saw a wholesale change in the ways in which many people lived and this was reflected in the culture of the time. It was a time when Britons forged a new national and imperial identity defined against the cultures and peoples of the world that they encountered in accounts of travel, exploration and colonial settlement.
