First published in 2006. Women and Romanticism’s first two volumes gather material from the vast body of work produced around the subjects of education and employment. VOLUME I covers Education and Employment in the Early Romantic Period. Until the 1980s, a five-volume collection of materials on ‘Women and Romanticism’ would have been inconceivable, since Romantic studies largely restricted itself to a consideration of the major male poets of the period (William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats), When women were present in accounts of Romanticism, they were considered in terms of their literary function (as objects of representation), or in relation to their domestic (as mothers, daughters, wives and lovers of the authors). Indeed, the first Romantic women writers to enter academic discourse were those with familial connections to the canonized poets: Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley and Dorothy Wordsworth. Other writers of interest in the 1970s included Frances Burney and Jane Austen.

Li Xun, a successful university student who had just started his career two years ago, accidentally died and transmigrated to the continent of the Sword Soul. After his rebirth, his luck here was extremely good. There were always all kinds of fortuitous encounters, such as the Illusory Sword Realm, the Sword Spirit Clan's inheritance, the trial of the demon race in the seabed, the compromise of the dragon race, the pursuit of the dark sword clan, and the hope of the descendants of the god race. All sorts of top quality beauties appeared one after another at Li Xun's side. Was it necessary to accept all of the unexpected marriages, Princess Sword Spirit's tens of thousands of years of waiting, cheap fiancées, the people who followed orders to die for him, etc., after seeing each other twice?
