Focusing on the interplay between education and literature, this study explores the transformative period in Britain from 1780 to 1832. It examines how changes in schooling and literacy influenced literary genres and the creation of children's literature, as well as educational methods for various demographics, including women and the working class. Key themes include the evolution of the domestic novel, the rise of popular literature, and the redefinition of 'Literature' itself. Romantic texts are analyzed for their engagement with the social issues of their time.
