Peter Murphy??'s book examines the tension between the material,
economic pressures motivating poetry as an occupation, and
traditional notions of the forces of literary history defining
poetry as an art. It focuses on five writers in the Romantic
period: James MacPherson, Robert Burns, James Hogg, Walter Scott,
and William Wordsworth. The first four are Scottish; the economic
and linguistic status of Scotland during the period makes its
writers especially interesting as examples of poetic ambition.
Murphy??'s study then crosses the border into England, offering a
new perspective on Wordsworth??'s poetic ambition and career.
Murphy??'s engagement throughout with the ballad revival yields
fresh insights into some major concerns of the Romantic period: the
interest in the primitive and the simple, experiments with poetic
form, the problematics of loss, and the emergence of a new literary
culture.
