Recovering the earliest expressions of grumbling, irritability, and cynicism towards politics, this study asks how unsettled partisan legacies converged with more recent\u003cbr\u003ediscontents to forge a seminal period in the making of English literature, and thereby poses wide-ranging questions about the lines between politics and aesthetics. Reading works including Laurence Sterne's \u003cem\u003eTristram Shandy, \u003c\/em\u003e James Boswell's \u003cem\u003eLife of Johnson\u003c\/em\u003e, the novels of Maria Edgeworth and Jane\u003cbr\u003eAusten, and the satirical poetry of Lord Byron in tandem with print culture and partisan activity, this book shows how these writings remained animated by disaffected impulses and recalcitrant energies at odds with available party positions and emerging governmental norms--even as they sought to\u003cbr\u003eimagine perspectives that looked beyond the divided political world altogether. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'No one can be more sick of-or indifferent to politics than I am' Lord Byron wrote in 1820. Between the later eighteenth century and the Romantic age, disaffected political attitudes acquired increasingly familiar shapes. Yet this was also a period of ferment in which unrest associated with the\u003cbr\u003eglobal age of revolutions (including a dynamic transatlantic opposition movement) collided with often inchoate assemblages of parties and constituencies. As writers adopted increasingly emphatic removes from the political arena and cultivated familiar stances of cynicism, detachment, and retreat, \u003cbr\u003etheir estrangement also promised to loop back into political engagement-and to make their works 'parties' all their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Owen Havard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198833130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Owen Havard, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor, Binghamton University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Owen Havard is Assistant Professor at Binghamton University and received his PhD from the University of Chicago.
