The Romantic Period saw the advance of the massive British imperial
expansion that was to make it dominant for most of the 19th
century. There was a corresponding expansion in travel writings,
which, highly popular in their own time, seemed to bring exotic
realms within the grasp of the reading public and were a source for
ethnographic and cultural information about other societies.
The third set in the series, The Year's Work in English Studies,
Volume 78 edited by Peter Kitson, and The Year's Work in Critical
and Cultural Theory, Volume 7 edited by Kate McGowan, aims to
provide comprehensive, narrative bibliographical coverage of the
best work in their respective fields in a given year. In this
instance, the two volumes cover work for the year 1997.
This volume offers a comprehensive selection of contemporary
criticism of three great Romantic poets, ranging from traditional
literary scholarship through historicist, feminist, structuralist
and poststructuralist readings. Kitson's substantial introduction
situates the essays in the general context of the development of
critical writing about Romanticism over the last four decades and
the volume provides an excellent overview of the current, vibrant
state of Romantic studies and some of the exciting ways in which
contemporary criticism is developing.
