Overview
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.Editorials

Some new critical twists on the classic works of Coleridge, Keats and Shelley proving once and for all that scholars will never tire of the big three as a continual source of discovery. The ten essays offer critical readings of the major works such as "Kubla Khan" and "To Autumn," applying traditional scholarship and more contemporary literary theories such as feminism, structuralism, and poststructuralism. Naturally, the scholars say as much about the current state of literary theory as they do about the nearly exhausted topic of Romanticism. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
