More about the book
The book explores how the Romantic period establishes a tradition where poets are seen as underappreciated geniuses whose true value is recognized posthumously. Andrew Bennett discusses the significant shift in how poets and their works are perceived, highlighting its effects on the gender dynamics within the poetic canon. The analysis includes the contributions of key Romantic figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and Byron, revealing the broader implications for literary reception during and after their lifetimes.
