- Description
- The acquisition in 1997 by Cardiff University of
the English language version of the Corvey Microfiche Edition (CME)
presented a significant opportunity for research into English
literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 'Romantic
Textualities: Literature and Print Culture, 1780–1840' is a
twice-yearly journal that is committed to foregrounding innovative
Romantic-studies research into bibliography, book history,
intertextuality, and textual studies. INTRODUCTION TO THIS ARTICLE:
"In 1826, Mary Shelley recalled the Summer of 1814 as ‘incarnate
romance’, when ‘a new generation’ of youthful travellers with ‘time
and money at command’, yet heedless of ‘dirty packets and wretched
inns’, ‘poured, in one vast stream, across the Pas de Calais into
France’. It is estimated that some 15,512 British tourists and
residents were present in Paris alone during 1815, while, at home,
accounts began appearing in print. By 1817, the Edinburgh Review
commented: The restoration of peace has, as might have been
foreseen, produced a vast number of Books of
Travels."
