  • af Simon Jarvis
    450,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    Wordsworth wrote that he longed to compose 'some philosophic Song/Of Truth that cherishes our daily life'. Yet he never finished The Recluse, his long philosophical poem. Simon Jarvis argues that Wordsworth's aspiration to 'philosophic song' is central to his greatness, and changed the way English poetry was written. Some critics see Wordworth as a systematic thinker, while for others he is a poet first, and a thinker only (if at all) second. Jarvis shows instead how essential both philosophy and the 'song' of poetry were to Wordsworth's achievement. Drawing on advanced work in continental philosophy and social theory to address the ideological attacks which have dominated much recent commentary, Jarvis reads Wordsworth's writing both critically and philosophically, to show how Wordsworth thinks through and in verse. This study rethinks the relation between poetry and society itself by analysing the tensions between thinking philosophically and writing poetry.

  • - Print, Sociability, and the Cultures of Collecting
    af Gillian (University of York) Russell
    976,95 kr.

    This book revises the view of printed ephemera as a trivial or disposable by giving a history of its role in eighteenth-century culture. It explores how tickets, playbills and posters became a way of facilitating social interaction and, for collectors, a means of preserving the evanescence of daily life.

  • af Thomas H. (University of Melbourne) Ford
    407,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    This book explores how the meaning of 'poetic atmosphere' developed within larger ideas of Romanticism, particularly through the poetry of William Wordsworth, who was the first to see its potential as metaphor. Thomas H. Ford here makes a significant contribution to debates in the areas of literary ecology and ecocriticism.

  • af Montreal) Sachs & Jonathan (Concordia University

  • af Dahlia (University of Glasgow) Porter

  • - Coleridge, Nationalism, Women
    af Julie A. Carlson
    433,95 kr.

    English Romanticism has long been considered an 'undramatic' and 'anti-theatrical' age, yet Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats all wrote plays. In the Theatre of Romanticism analyses these (and especially Coleridge's) plays, in the context of London theatre at the time, focusing on their constructions of women and nationhood.

    af Nigel Leask

  • - Women, Politics and the Fiction of Letters
    af Mary A. Favret
    572,95 kr.

    This study of correspondence in the Romantic period calls into question the common notion that letters are a particularly 'romantic', personal, and ultimately feminine form of writing.

  • af Mark Parker
    533,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    In this study, Mark Parker proposes that literary magazines should be an object of study in their own right. He argues that magazines such as the London Magazine, Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, and the New Monthly Magazine, offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work - indeed, magazines became one of the pre-eminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examining the dynamic relationship between literature and culture which evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concerns that give subtle inflection to its meaning. The book provides an extended treatment of Lamb's Elia Essays, Hazlitt's Table-Talk Essays, Noctes Ambrosianae, and Carlyle's Sartor Resartus in their original contexts, and should be of interest to scholars of cultural and literary studies as well as Romanticists.

  • - Canonical Minority and the Forms of Transmission
    af Margaret (University of Southern California) Russett

  • - A Study in Literary Historiography
    af Robert J. (Tel-Aviv University) Griffin
    400,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

  • - Varieties of Subjectivity, 1774-1830
    af Ann Arbor) Henderson & Andrea K. (University of Michigan
    462,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    A defining feature of Romantic writing, critics have long agreed, is its characterization of the self in terms of psychological depth. Many writers, however, did not conceive of the self in this way. Romantic Identities broadens our perceptions of Romanticism by exploring Romantic writing that challenges the 'depth' model.

  • - Wordsworth and the Simulation of Freedom
    af Berkeley) Langan & Celeste (University of California
    575,95 - 1.098,95 kr.

    Reading Wordsworth - and Rousseau before him - from the perspective of recent debates about the political and social rights of the homeless, Celeste Langan argues that both literature and vagrancy are surprisingly rich and disturbing images of the 'negative freedom' at the heart of liberalism.

    How and why has allegory survived, despite the Romantic critique of it as an outdated and artificial literary mode?
