drama, and the novel, 1780-1850) include

Romantic subjectivity

The Oriental tale and/or imperialism

Mythology and intertextuality

Nature, science, and medicine

Romanticism and Gothic monstrosity

Discourses on slavery and women's rights

Education, motherhood, and domesticity

Melancholia, masochism, pederasty, and other 'aberrant' behaviors

Canonization, genre, and female authorship
