A pioneering collection of articles on fictionalized biographies of
the Romantics in contemporary fiction and drama. It appears that
the lives of the British Romantics and the myths surrounding them
have a special appeal for contemporary writers.The present volume
sets out to explore this renewed interest in Romantic
artist-figures in the context of the current renaissance of
'life-writing'. The essays collected here deal with Romantic
'biofictions' by such authors as Peter Ackroyd, Adrian Mitchell,
Ann Jellicoe, Liz Lochhead, Judith Chernaik, Amanda Prantera,
Robert Nye, Tom Stoppard, Howard Brenton, Edward Bond, and others.
Thomas Chatterton, William Blake, James Hogg, Sir Walter Scott,
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, John Polidori, John Clare, and
-- most prominently -- Lord Byron featureas the 'biographical
subjects' in the works discussed.
