Gathered together for the first time, the essays in this volume
were selected to give scholars ready access to important
late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century contributions to
scholarship on the Romantic period and twentieth-century literature
and culture. Included are Charles J. Rzepka's award-winning essays
on Keats's 'Chapman's Homer' sonnet and Wordsworth's 'Michael' and
his critical intervention into anachronistic new historicist
readings of the circumstances surrounding the composition of
"Tintern Abbey." Other Romantic period essays provide innovative
interpretations of De Quincey's relation to theatre and the
anti-slavery movement. Genre is highlighted in Rzepka's exploration
of race and region in Charlie Chan, while his interdisciplinary
essay on The Wizard of Oz and the New Woman takes the reader on a
journey that encompasses the Oz of L. Frank Baum and Victor Fleming
as well as the professional lives of Judy Garland and Liza
Minnelli. Taken together, the essays provide not only a career
retrospective of an influential scholar and teacher but also a map
of the innovations and controversies that have influenced literary
studies from the early 1980s to the present. As Peter Manning
observes in his foreword, "this collection shows that even in
diverse essays the force of a curious and disciplined mind makes
itself felt."
