The early 1790s witnessed Britain’s emergence as the leading counterrevolutionary \npower in an age of revolution, a position it held through \nthe Napoleonic era and into the post-Waterloo restoration of legitimate \ncontinental regimes. The deployment of British troops against the threat of \nFrench republicanism abroad was accompanied by ideological mobilization \nat home, with profound consequences for literature and the arts as well as \nthe press and public opinion. Yet scholars have not always looked closely at \nthe way a conservative defence of the crown, the established church and the \nunreformed constitution shaped public expression. The fact that Romanticism \nhas guided British literary studies in the period has itself narrowed the \nrange of attention. The rubric for this volume, the 1790s, indicates a shift in \nconceptions of literary history. Yet to understand how counter-revolutionary \nculture has been overlooked it is worth setting out from the framework that \nRomanticism long provided.
