Description

This volume offers a comprehensive selection of contemporary criticism of three great Romantic poets, ranging from traditional literary scholarship through historicist, feminist, structuralist and poststructuralist readings. Kitson's substantial introduction situates the essays in the general context of the development of critical writing about Romanticism over the last four decades and the volume provides an excellent overview of the current, vibrant state of Romantic studies and some of the exciting ways in which contemporary criticism is developing.
