Romanticism has often been associated with the mode of lyric, or
otherwise confined within mainstream genres. As a result, we have
neglected the sheer diversity and generic hybridity of a literature
that ranged from the Gothic novel to the national tale, from
monthly periodicals to fictionalized autobiography. In this volume
leading scholars of the period explore the ways in which the
Romantics developed genre from a taxonomical given into a cultural
category, so as to make it the scene of an ongoing struggle between
fixed norms and new initiatives. Focusing on non-canonical writers
(such as Thelwall, Godwin and the novelists of the 1790s), or
placing authors such as Wordsworth and Byron in a non-canonical
context, these essays explore the psychic and social politics of
genre from a variety of theoretical perspectives, while the
introduction looks at how genre itself was rethought by Romantic
criticism.
