Why are there so few 'happily ever afters' in the Romantic-period
verse romance? Why do so many poets utilise the romance and its
parts to such devastating effect? Why is gender so often the first
victim? The Romantic Paradox investigates the prevalence of death
in the poetic romances of the Della Cruscans, Coleridge, Keats,
Mary Robinson, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Landon, and Byron, and
posits that understanding the romance and its violent tendencies is
vital to understanding Romanticism itself.
