This book features a collection of essays, shedding subversively
new light on Romanticism and its canon of big-six, white, male
Romantics by focusing on marginalised, forgotten and lost writers
and their long-neglected works. Probing the realms of literary and
cultural lostness, this book identifies different strata of
oblivion and shows how densely the net of contacts and rivalries
was woven around the ostensibly monolithic stars of the Romantic
age. It reveals how the lost poets inspired the production of
anthologised poetry, that they served as indispensable muses,
sidekicks and interlocutors of the big six and that their relevance
for the literary scene has been continuously underrated. This is
also surprisingly true for some creators of famous one-hit wonders
(Frankenstein, The Vampyre) who were suddenly rocketed to fame or
notoriety, but could not help seeing their other works of fiction
turning into abortive flops.
