Rezensionen

'Stephen Tedeschi's Urbanization and English Romantic Poetry is an invigorating and at times demanding challenge to one of the central structuring oppositions in the study of British literature: that of the country versus the city ... It asks its readers to recognize the world-changing potential of poetry and moreover that the idea that poetry could change the world was itself a product of the particular social conjunctions ...' Ian Newman, The Wordsworth Circle
