Focusing on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Robinson and Mary
Shelley, this book uses key concepts of androgyny, subjectivity and
the re-creative as a productive framework to trace the fascinating
textual interactions and dialogues among these authors. It crosses
the boundary between male and female writers of the Romantic period
by linking representations of gender with late Enlightenment
upheavals regarding creativity and subjectivity, demonstrating how
these interrelated concerns dismantle traditional binaries
separating the canonical and the noncanonical; male and female;
poetry and prose; good and evil; subject and object. Through the
convergences among the writings of Coleridge, Mary Robinson, and
Mary Shelley, the book argues that each dismantles and reconfigures
subjectivity as androgynous and amoral, subverting the centrality
of the male gaze associated with canonical Romanticism. In doing
so, it examines key works from each author's oeuvre, from
Coleridge's "canonical" poems such as Rime of the Ancient Mariner,
through Robinson's lyrical poetry and novels such as Walsingham, to
Mary Shelley's fiction, including Frankenstein, Mathilda, and The
Last Man.
