Articles liés à British Romanticism and Prison Reform
Synopsis
In eighteenth-century Britain, criminals were routinely whipped, branded, hanged, or transported to America. Only in the last quarter of the century--with the War of American Independence and legal and sociopolitical challenges to capital punishment--did the criminal justice system change, resulting in the reformed prison, or penitentiary, meant to educate, rehabilitate, and spiritualize even hardened felons. This volume is the first to explore the relationship between historical penal reform and Romantic-era literary texts by luminaries such as Godwin, Keats, Byron, and Austen. The works examined here treat incarceration as ambiguous: prison walls oppress and reinforce the arbitrary power of legal structures but can also heighten meditation, intensify the imagination, and awaken the conscience. Jonas Cope skillfully traces the important ideological work these texts attempt: to reconcile a culture devoted to freedom with the birth of the modern prison system that presents punishment as a form of rehabilitation.

Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press. British Romanticism and Prison Reform is the first full-length study to explore and define the close relationship between British Romantic literary texts, on the one hand, and the birth of the modern prison, on the other, giving long overdue attention to the revolution in punishment coterminous with the age we call Romantic.
