Jerome McGann is Professor Emeritus in the Department of English at the University of Virginia. He is the editor of Byron's Complete Poetical Works (seven volumes, 1980-1993) and is one of the leading authorities on Romanticism and its aftermath. This book is a major addition to his influential argument for a 'Literature of Knowledge', which he first outlined in his 1989 Clark Lectures (Trinity College, Cambridge) and Carpenter Lectures (University of Chicago).
