In Romantic Aversions J. Douglas Kneale explicates the "double gesture" in the repression of the classical tradition by focusing on its rhetorical afterlife in the literary styles of Wordsworth and Coleridge. He provides new interpretations of both canonical and non-canonical texts and explores aspects of Wordsworth's and Coleridge's manuscripts and poems previously overlooked by scholars. Kneale combines original, close readings with the larger sweep of genre study to reveal new and unexpected convergences in the Romantic tradition.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"[Romantic Aversions] is a superb piece of work. Its contribution to our understanding of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and of Romanticism generally, is impressive: few have read these poems so closely or so elegantly, and no one has combined such a reading with the depth of classical learning that Kneale possesses." Bruce Graver, Department of English, Providence College. "clever and stimulating ... elegantly constructed and engagingly written." H.J. Jackson, Department of English, University of Toronto.
