A highly acclaimed exploration of the way in which the landscape has both influenced and been represented in British Romantic literature. ‘Margaret Drabble on the Romantics’ presents an image of Britain as seen through the eyes of some of its most celebrated authors. Many of the Romantics, as well as their successors, are closely associated with particular landscapes – the Wordsworths with the Lake District, Walter Scott with the Scottish Borders, the Bront? sisters with West Yorkshire. Margaret Drabble deepens our understanding of this connection, unpacking the Romantics’ fascination with all varieties of rural landscape, from roaring seas to tranquil villages, while also exploring their writing’s subtler associations. Herself a star in the literary firmament, Drabble illuminates how this love of place fashioned some of the Romantics’ greatest works.
