Abstract	This volume offers a fresh perspective on teaching; re-reading; and expanding the Romantic canon by shedding light on the period from a distinctively Cultural Studies point of view. The discourses reflected in this range of contributions open a window into the social inequalities of the late 18th and early 19th centuries; be they in generational; class; gender; sexual or ethnic terms; as well as intersections thereof. We see a significant parallel between the ethics and literary activism of Romantic writers and the 'wokeness' of activists in Western contemporary cultures; especially given the criticism surrounding their works which either celebrates their progressive impetus or unveils the underlying shortcomings of their performative activism and intrinsic close-mindedness. The essays reveal that Romantic ideas echo into contemporary controversies surrounding questions of white privilege; gender and sexual inequalities; human rights; and the increasing marginalisation of vulnerable groups in the face of global crises.
