Description: Winner of the Book Prize of the American Conference on Romanticism
Review Quotes: "This book is the real thing: learned, patient, thoroughly researched, fresh, corrective, and expertly written. It confronts the chill that has descended on the major poetic texts of Romantic studies from the anti-formalist animus of certain latter-day practitioners with a cool authority all its own. This is counter-critique at its very best."--Garrett Stewart, University of Iowa
