Description

Explore the connection between literature and history in Romantic Epics and the Mission of Empire. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Studies in Romanticism series (Number 147), this work examines the explosion of epic poems during the British Romantic period. Matthew Leporati investigates how these poems addressed the historical tensions of an era defined by expanding imperial reach. The text looks at how the concept of imperialism evolved into a project of spreading British culture and religion. This study is the first to examine the impact of the missionary word on the revival of the epic genre, providing a deep look at how writers interrogated the evangelical turn of their time.
