Abstract
It is important to explore the British literature in the Romantic era, while appreciating its close relationship with the daily press and periodical publications. This paper aims to examine the interrelationship between the Romantic literature - especially the genre of verse - and daily press, which was published in London at that time. In this paper I would like to focus on the conservative and patriotic language shown in three publications issued in London, the British Critic, the Sun and the True Briton. Based upon the discussions about the language of the three publications, the British Critic, the Sun and the True Briton, I would like to explore contemporary poetry’s fruitful sharing of patriotic sentiments with those journalistic organs. In doing so, I will read James Thomson’s important verse, which is titled “Rule, Britannia” for the better understanding of British Romanticism. This paper treats the conservative tones of “Rule, Britannia” and the journalistic publications mentioned above. (Jeonbuk National University)
