Book Synopsis Placing and Displacing Romanticism by : Peter J. Kitson
Download or read book Placing and Displacing Romanticism written by Peter J. Kitson and published by Ashgate Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected in this volume all address the crucial current issues of 'place' and 'displacement', 'placing' and 'displacing' in Romantic period studies. These terms are used with dexterity and imagination, explored and interrogated in both their literal and figurative manifestations. Overall this volume of essays takes forward these seminal terms in contemporary criticism of Romantic writing in a series of fresh and subtle readings of texts and contexts, historical, philosophical, social, political and scientific. Familiar texts are revisited with new insight and unfamiliar texts are placed in meaningful contexts. Despite the claim that Romantic writing denies and evades history and the social tensions of its time, this volume shows how such writing is replete with both explicit and implicit contributions to the essential debates of the time. The contributors to this volume, all leading scholars in their field, combine the virtues of close textual reading with an informed awareness of the historical, political and social pressures of the Romantic period, encouraging a critical stance of historically engaged formalist critique.

Book Synopsis Romanticism and the Uses of Genre by : David Duff
Download or read book Romanticism and the Uses of Genre written by David Duff and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 1285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging and original book reappraises the role of genre, and genre theory, in British Romanticism. Analyzing numerous examples from 1760 to 1830, David Duff examines the generic innovations and experiments which propel the Romantic 'revolution in literature', but also the fascination with archaic forms such as the ballad, sonnet, and romance, whose revival and transformation make Romanticism a 'retro' movement as well as a revolutionary one. The tension between the drives to 'make it old' and to 'make it new' generates one of the most dynamic phases in the history of literature, whose complications are played out in the critical writing of the period as well as its creative literature. Incorporating extensive research on classification systems and reception history as well as on literary forms themselves, Romanticism and the Uses of Genre demonstrates how new ideas about the role and status of genre influenced not only authors but also publishers, editors, reviewers, and readers. The focus is on poetry, but a wider spectrum of genres is considered, a central theme being the relationship - hierarchical, competitive, combinatory - between genres. Among the topics addressed are generic primitivism and forgery; Enlightenment theory and the 'cognitive turn'; the impact of German transcendental aesthetics; organic and anti-organic form; the role of genre in the French Revolution debate; the poetics of the fragment; and the theory and practice of genre-mixing. Unprecedented in its scope and detail, this important book establishes a new way of reading Romantic literature which brings into focus for the first time its tangled relationship with genre.

Download or read book Romantic Climates written by Anne Collett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to uncover how today’s ideas about climate and catastrophe have been formed by the thinking of Romantic poets, novelists and scientists, and how these same ideas might once more be harnessed to assist us in the new climate challenges facing us in the present. The global climate disaster following Mt Tambora’s eruption in 1815 – the ‘Year without a Summer’ – is a starting point from which to reconsider both how the Romantics responded to the changing climates of their day, and to think about how these climatic events shaped the development of Romanticism itself. As the contributions to this volume demonstrate, climate is an inescapable aspect of Romantic writing and thinking. Ideologies and experiences of climate inform everything from scientific writing to lyric poetry and novels. The ‘Diodati circle’ that assembled in Geneva in 1816 – Lord Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, John Polidori and John Cam Hobhouse and the gothic novelist MG ‘Monk’ Lewis – is synonymous with the literature of that dreary, uncanny season. Essays in this collection also consider the work of Jane Austen, John Keats and William Wordsworth, along with less well-known figures such as the scientist Luke Howard, and later responses to Romantic climates by John Ruskin and Virginia Woolf.

Book Synopsis John Clare and Community by : John Goodridge
Download or read book John Clare and Community written by John Goodridge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Clare (1793-1864) is one of the most sensitive poetic observers of the natural world. Born into a rural labouring family, he felt connected to two communities: his native village and the Romantic and earlier poets who inspired him. The first part of this study of Clare and community shows how Clare absorbed and responded to his reading of a selection of poets including Chatterton, Bloomfield, Gray and Keats, revealing just how serious the process of self-education was to his development. The second part shows how he combined this reading with the oral folk-culture he was steeped in, to create an unrivalled poetic record of a rural culture during the period of enclosure, and the painful transition to the modern world. In his lifelong engagement with rural and literary life, Clare understood the limitations as well as the strengths in communities, the pleasures as well as the horrors of isolation.

Book Synopsis The Truth about Romanticism by : Tim Milnes
Download or read book The Truth about Romanticism written by Tim Milnes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have our conceptions of truth been shaped by romantic literature? This question lies at the heart of this examination of the concept of truth both in romantic writing and in modern criticism. The romantic idea of truth has long been depicted as aesthetic, imaginative and ideal. Tim Milnes challenges this picture, demonstrating a pragmatic strain in the writing of Keats, Shelley and Coleridge in particular, that bears a close resemblance to the theories of modern pragmatist thinkers such as Donald Davidson and Jürgen Habermas. Romantic pragmatism, Milnes argues, was in turn influenced by recent developments within linguistic empiricism. This book will be of interest to readers of romantic literature, but also to philosophers, literary theorists, and intellectual historians.
