Concerned with the intermingled thematic and formal preoccupations
of Romantic thought and literary practice in works by
twentieth-century British, Irish, and American artists, this
collection examines the complicated legacy of Romanticism in
twentieth-century novels, poetry, and film. Even as key
twentieth-century cultural movements have tried to subvert or
debunk Romantic narratives of redemptive nature, individualism,
perfectibility, and the transcendence of art, the forms and modes
of feeling associated with the Romantic period continue to exert a
signal influence on the modern moment - both as a source of tension
and as creative stimulus. As the essays here show, the exact
meaning of the Romantic bequest may be bitterly contested, but it
has been difficult to leave behind. The contributors take up a wide
range of authors, including Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald, W.
H. Auden, Doris Lessing, Seamus Heaney, Hart Crane, William
Faulkner, Don DeLillo, and Jonathan Franzen. What emerges from this
lively volume is a fuller picture of the persistence and variety of
the Romantic period's influence on the twentieth-century.
