This volume brings together an impressive range of established and
emerging scholars to investigate the meaning of 'life' in Romantic
poetry and poetics. This investigation involves sustained attention
to a set of challenging questions at the heart of British Romantic
poetic practice and theory. Is poetry alive for the Romantic poets?
If so, how? Does 'life' always mean 'life'? In a range of essays
from a variety of complementary perspectives, a number of major
Romantic poets are examined in detail. The fate of Romantic
conceptions of 'life' in later poetry also receives attention.
Through, for examples, a revision of Blake's relationship to
so-called rationalism, a renewed examination of Wordsworth's
fascination with country graveyards, an exploration of Shelley's
concept of survival, and a discussion of the notions of 'life' in
Byron, Kierkegaard, and Mozart, this volume opens up new and
exciting terrain in Romantic poetry's relation to literary theory,
the history of philosophy, ethics, and aesthetics.
