| Description: |
This book makes an important contribution to current debates about reading, audiences and publishing in the Romantic period, while also exploring the competitive/collaborative relationship between creativity and criticism. Lucy Newlyn examines how readers are imagined, addressed, figured and understood in Romantic poetry and criticism. Non-canonical writers are included, and special attention is given to the emergence of women's poetry. |
| Synopsis: |
Reading, Writing, and Romanticism bridges a perceived gulf between materialist and idealist approaches to the reader. Informed by an historical awareness of Romantic hermeneutics and its later developments (as well as by an understanding of the circumstances conditioning the production and consumption of literature in this period), the book explores how readers are imagined, addressed, figured and theorised in Romantic poetry and criticism (1790-1830). Models of canon-formation, intertextuality and reader-response are examined alongside the existence of reading-coteries, the social practices of reading, and reforms in copyright. Consideration is given to the philosophical and ideological influences which bear upon the status of reading at this time, as well as to the educational theories and practices which underpin reading-habits. Non-canonical writers are included, and special attention is given to the emergence of women's poetry - its repercussions for the poetics of reception. |
