More than any other period of British literature, Romanticism is
strongly identified with a single genre. Romantic poetry has been
one of the most enduring, best loved, most widely read and most
frequently studied genres for two centuries and remains no less so
today. This Companion offers a comprehensive overview and
interpretation of the poetry of the period in its literary and
historical contexts. The essays consider its metrical, formal, and
linguistic features; its relation to history; its influence on
other genres; its reflections of empire and nationalism, both
within and outside the British Isles; and the various implications
of oral transmission and the rapid expansion of print culture and
mass readership. Attention is given to the work of less well-known
or recently rediscovered authors, alongside the achievements of
some of the greatest poets in the English language: Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Blake, Scott, Burns, Keats, Shelley, Byron and Clare.
