Description:
This title provides an introduction to romanticism and the romantic poets.

Editor’s Note
My introduction assesses the six indispensible figures making up the romantic tradition in England. Jerome Christensen opens the volume with a discussion of tragic delight primarily in Wordsworth, followed by Leslie Brisman’s analysis of Shelleyan intersections with Christianity.
Helen Vendler astutely explores Keats’s attempts to reconcile his philosophical emphasis on the social versus aesthetic concerns of poetry, after which Paul de Man returns us to Wordsworthian concepts of time and history.
Jonathan Wordsworth then turns his attention to Shelley’s “Mont Blanc,” tracing the author’s ability to invest the material world with spiritual significance. Jean Hall applies a broader focus to the development of Byron’s career.
John L. Mahoney takes up elements of the tragic imagination in Coleridge’s late work, followed by David Bromwich’s consideration of the ramifications of the term romanticism. John Beer concludes the volume with an overview of romantic visions of apocalypse and millennial transition.
