This history and theory of British poetry between 1760 and 1830 was
originally published in 2008, and focuses on the relationship
between Romantic poetry and the production, circulation and
textuality of ballads. By discussing the ways in which
eighteenth-century cultural and literary researches flowed into and
shaped key canonical works, Maureen McLane argues that romantic
poetry's influences went far beyond the merely literary. Breathing
life into the work of eighteenth-century balladeers and
antiquarians, she addresses the revival of the ballad, the figure
of the minstrel, and the prevalence of a 'minstrelsy complex' in
romanticism. Furthermore, she envisages a new way of engaging with
romantic poetics, encompassing both 'oral' and 'literary' modes of
poetic construction, and anticipates the role that technology might
play in a media-driven twenty-first century. The study will be of
great interest to scholars and students of Romantic poetry,
literature and culture.
