| Abstract
|
:
|
"The study of form has enjoyed a considerable revival in Romantic Studies since the late 1990s, after being marginalised for the two previous decades by deconstruction and new historicism. Romanticism and Form brings together leading scholars of Romanticism and relative newcomers to offer a snapshot of what and where the revival of formalism in Romantic Studies is up to. The chapters, all published here for the first time, offer new analyses of canonical texts by Wordsworth, Austen, Byron and P.B. Shelley, explorations of under-explored areas of Romantic-period culture, contextualisations of Romantic forms and formal practices in relation to war, nationalism, propaganda, empire and urbanisation, reassessments and rehabilitations of neglect and marginalised writers (including Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Felicia Hermans, John Clare, Ann Batten Cristall, Charlotte Smith and Robert Southey) and new explorations of the relationship between form and reader. The book showcases a range of new approaches to form that are distanced from New Criticism but informed by deconstruction, new historicism, feminism, theology and new technology."--Pub. desc.
