The relationship between literature and religion is one of the most
groundbreaking and challenging areas of Romantic studies. Covering
the entire field of Romanticism from its eighteenth-century origins
in the writing of William Cowper and its proleptic stirrings in
Paradise Lost to late-twentieth-century manifestations in the work
of Wallace Stevens, the essays in this timely volume explore
subjects such as Romantic attitudes towards creativity and its
relation to suffering and religious apprehension; the allure of the
'veiled' and the figure of the monk in Gothic and Romantic writing;
Miltonic light and inspiration in the work of Blake, Wordsworth,
Shelley, and Keats; the relationship between Southey's and
Coleridge's anti-Catholicism and definitions of religious faith in
the Romantic period; the stammering of Romantic attempts to figure
the ineffable; the emergence of a feminised Christianity and a
gendered sublime; the development of Calvinism and its role in
contemporary religious controversies. Its primary focus is the
canonical Romantic poets, with a particular emphasis on Byron,
whose work is most in need of critical re-evaluation given its
engagement with the Christian and Islamic worlds and its critique
of totalising religious and secular readings. The collection is an
original and much-needed intervention in Romantic studies, bringing
together the contextual awareness of recent historicist scholarship
with the newly awakened interest in matters of form and an
appreciation of the challenges of postmodern theory.
