If they are formalists, they are formalists of a new kind, less likely to celebrate the unifying power of art than the fragmented and the multitudinous, more likely to acknowledge Byron than Wordsworth, but just as ready to study a satiric print, or a poem by Ann Cristall. This volume sets a challenging new agenda for Romantic Studies.' - Richard Cronin, Professor of English Literature, University of Glasgow, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors Introduction; A.Rawes Romantic Indirection; P.Curtis \"Conscript Fathers and Shuffling Recruits\": Formal Self-Awareness in Romantic Poetry; M.O'Neill Romantic Invocation: a Form of Impossibility; G.Hopps \"Ruinous Perfection\": Reading Authors and Writing Readers in the Romantic Fragment Poem; M.Sandy Combinatoric Form in Nineteenth-Century Satiric Prints; S.E.Jones Romantic Form and New Historicism: Wordsworth's \"Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey\"; A.Rawes Southey's Forms of Experiment; N.Trott Believing in Form and Forms of Belief: the Case of Robert Southey; B.Beatty Seductions of Form in the Poetry of Ann Cristall and Charlotte Smith; J.Labbe \"Seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoyed it completely\": Byron's Poetry, Austen's Prose and Forms of Narrative Irony; C.Franklin \"What Constitutes a Reader?\": Don Juan and the Changing Reception of Romantic Form; J.Stabler, A.Roberts, M.N.Carminati \u0026amp; M.H.Fischer Afterword; S.J.Wolfson Bibliography Index","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742425514327,"sku":"9781349544349","price":40.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781349544349.jpg?v=1758384901","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/romanticism-and-form-9781349544349","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
