- Summary
- In the aftermath of American and French Revolutions, the 1790s brought a huge outpouring of poetry and song in support of radicalism in Great Britain and Ireland. These essays deal with radical poetry in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as in the regions of England and London, placing the 1790s in a broader historical and cultural context.
