Lyric poetry has long been considered an art form of timelessness,
but Romantic poets became fascinated by one time above all others:
evening, the threshold between day and night. Christopher R. Miller
investigates the cultural background of this development. The
tradition of evening poetry runs from the idyllic settings of
Virgil to the urban twilights of T. S. Eliot, and flourished in the
works of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats. In fresh
readings of familiar Romantic poems, Miller shows how evening
settings enabled poets to represent the passage of time and to
associate it with subtle movements of thought and perception. This
leads to new ways of reading canonical works, and of thinking about
the kinds of themes the lyric can express.
