Produktbeschreibung

Combining historical poetics and book history, Romantic Poetry and Literary Coteries shows Romanticism as characterized by tropes and forms that were jointly produced by literary circles. To show these connections, Fulford pulls from a wealth of print material including political squibs, magazine essays, illustrated tour poems, and journals.

Rezensionen

"In this well-researched and wide-ranging study, Tim Fulford joins critics such as Jeffrey Cox, Jon Mee and Paul Magnuson who instead see Romantic writing as a collaborative endeavour, investigating small writing communities (pejoratively dubbed 'schools' by Romantic-era reviewers) or twosomes. ... Romantic Poetry and Literary Coteries displays an impressive command of material with admirable alertness to the effects on the writers' work of the 'micro-historical' as well as larger-scale social and political developments ... ."
