Main blurb (for internal use only - CHECK BEFORE USING IN PRINTED PUBLICITY): ObjectivesA survey of the critical reception of the romantic poets, beginning with contemporary responses and progressing chronologically through to the criticism of the present day. The object of the survey will be to provide students of romantic poetry with a guide by which to manage and negotiate their critical reading. Key critical texts will be presented in the form of substantial excerpts framed by an overarching editorial narrative. The volume will seek to offer in particular an account of the evolution of the term 'romantic' as a literarycategory, of the process of canonisation of the six major romantic poets, and of the more uneven reputations of a selection of other poets, including women. Suggestions for further reading will be offered in context. FormatThe volume will comprise an introduction followed by six sections, one for each of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, with a further section or sections to cover a selection of non-canonical poets. DescriptionIntroduction: 5000 wordsThe introduction will take the form of an essay setting out the literary history of the category 'romantic', from the eighteenth-century usage that polarised 'romantic' and 'classical' to the deconstruction of romanticism by twentieth-century theorists. The volume's focus - romantic poetry - will be explained by showing the centrality of genre to the category: poetry is the paradigm of the romantic endeavour. Brief excerpts from key texts will be used to illustrate how the notion of 'original' genius has been central to the evolution and establishing of the category and how criticism has kept pace with the gradual demise of that notion with changing models of authorship and reading. The introduction will conclude with an annotated list of suggestions for further reading on romanticism as a general topic.Major poets: 125-130,000 wordsEach of the individual sections on the six major poets (20-25,000 words) will present between three and six critical texts that have most influenced the reading and canonisation of that poet. The selected criticism will range from early responses to modern-day readings so as to indicate key trends in the critical reception of the poet. A preliminary overview and, at the head of each extract, editorial commentary, will locate the selected text in the critical history to which it belongs. Each selected text will be followed by an annotated list of suggestions for related further reading. Cross-referencing between sections will highlight continuities and counterpoints, for instance, between the formulation and persisting influence of the categories 'Lake School' for Wordsworth and 'Cockney School' for Keats.Other poets: 15-20,000 words The coverage of poets of more marginal canonical standing canon will be considerably less extensive than the coverage of the six major poets, but here too, the object will be to present the most influential critical readings. This section will acknowledge, for instance, John Clare's gradual rise to canonical status, Robert Burns's regional reputation, and the increasing attention paid, with the growth of twentieth-century feminism, to women poets such as Barbauld and Hemans. Space permitting, the critical reception of poets such as Southey or Hunt may be presented, as bound up with the reception of one or more of the 'big six'. BibliographyIndex
