Across Europe, and particularly in Great Britain, the Romantic age
coincided with a large-scale revival of lost literatures and the
first attempts to create a coherent history of Western literature.
Calling into question that history, Stuart Curran demonstrates that
the Romantic poets, far from being indifferent or hostile to
popular forms of literature were actually obsessed with them as
repositories of literary conventions and conveyors of implicit
ideological value. Whether in their proccupation with fixed forms,
which resulted in the incomparable artistry of Romantic odes, or in
their rethinking of major genres like the pastoral, the epic, and
the romance, the Romantic poets transformed every element they
touched to suit their own democratic, secular and skeptical
ethos--a world view recognizably modern in its dimensions.
