British Romantic Poets: Key 19th Century Journal Sources in Literature by Caroline Franklin (Hardcover, 1998)

About this product

Product Information

This important collection of review articles makes it possible to trace the critical reputations of both major and minor British Romantic Poets at the hands of their contemporaries and then the principal Victorian critics. It also enables the reader to perceive the growing influence of Romanticism on the thinking of those critics of the second half of the nineteenth century who were instrumental in forming the canon of English Literature and instituting it as a field of study in the universities for the first time. The new school of Romantic poetry was at first attacked for its violation of Augustan literary conventions, its subjectivity and primitivism. The vitriolic party spirit of the early years of the century lent a savage tone to the denunciation of the 'Lakers', the 'Satanic', or the 'Cockney' schools of poetry. Later critics were more analytical and as they themselves became influenced by Romantic theories of the imagination they increasingly redefined culture in terms of a critique of utilitarianism, materialism and modern spiritual malaise. Under the influence of humanist thinkers like Matthew Arnold, the study of English Literature was to take a central place in the education of the masses for democracy, seen as performing an almost religious function in edifying and consoling the individual while fostering cohesive moral values in society at large. Contributors represented here include: Francis Jeffrey, William Hazlitt, Walter Scott, Thomas Love Peacock, Thomas De Quincey, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Babington Macauley, Leslie Stephen, Margaret Oliphant, Walter Pater, Charles Algernon Swinburne and Matthew Arnold.
