- This 95,000-word volume explores the literary, cultural, social and political climate in Britain during the reign of William IV (1830–37), a period rarely discussed by scholars searching to define the ‘Romantic’ period, and overshadowed by Queen Victoria. The collection of essays opens new spaces for discussion by demonstrating how the spirit of reform, creative experimentation, and an increasingly politically active middle-class readership produced a peculiar literary and material culture of its own in diverse ways to complicate our contemporary understanding of the long nineteenth century in Britain. Comprised of 10 essays, it includes original research commissioned from leading scholars in Romantic Studies across the US and Europe. As co-editor, Butler assisted with planning the scope of the volume and commissioned chapters; peer-reviewed 9 essays; edited the entire volume for style; co-authored the 5000-word Introduction and authored one of the essays (8400 words; pp. 148-71).
