Trade Review
"Mark Sandy has written a ghost story. This is a book in which the influence of British Romanticism on American literature is described in terms of haunting, echo and poetic resonance. Sandy argues that American writers performed a failed and somewhat half-hearted, exorcism. He suggests that they used their Romantic inheritance to fashion an aesthetic of self and nature that appeared to be and wanted to be more independent and existentially charged than that of their British forbears The result, Sandy argues, was something of a double haunting: a confrontation with the spectre of British Romantic writing that manifested as a ghostly self-reflexive feeling of alienation.
