Repossessing the Romantic Past Hardback
Edited by Heather (University of Cambridge) Glen, Paul (Queen Mary University of London) Hamilton
Hardback
Description
Work on British Romanticism is often characterised as much by its conscious difference from preceding positions as it is by its approach to or choice of material.
As a result, writing neglected or marginalised in one account will be restored to prominence in another, as we reconstruct the past as a history of the present.
This collection of essays takes as its starting point the wide-ranging work of Marilyn Butler on Romantic literature, and includes contributions by some of the most prominent scholars of Romanticism working today.
The essays offer interesting perspectives on Maria Edgeworth, Coleridge, Austen, Scott and others, showing that the openness of modern critical perceptions matches and reflects the diversity of the literature and culture of the Romantic period itself.
