Opis

Concerned with the intermingled thematic and formal preoccupations of romantic thought and literary practice in works by twentieth-century British, Irish and American artists, this collection examines the complicated legacy of Romanticism in twentieth-century novels, poetry and film. Essays on authors such as Virginia Woolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Doris Lessing, Seamus Heaney, William Faulkner and Don DeLillo, show the persistence and variety of the Romantic period's influence on the twentieth-century.
