Romanticism has often been associated with lyric poetry, or otherwise confined within mainstream genres. As a result, we have neglected the sheer diversity and generic hybridity of a literature that ranged from the Gothic novel to the national tale, from monthly periodicals to fictionalized autobiography. In this new volume some of the leading scholars of the period explore the relationship between ideology and literary genre from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The introduction offers a fresh examination of how genre was rethought by Romantic criticism.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The essays collected in Romanticism, History, and the Possibilities of Genre are a welcome sign of a renewed interest in the complex interaction of literature, history, and ideology during the Romantic period. This superb collection of essays significantly advances both the theory and practice of genre criticism." Alan Bewell, Letters in Canada

5.0 out of 5 stars
Cogent and engaging!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Romanticism, History, and the Possibilities of Genre: Re-forming Literature 1789-1837 (Hardcover)
Wright and Rajan have created a brilliant text--an essential for students of Romanticism. The individual essays are cogent and perceptive; Julia Wright's chapter, "'I am ill-fitted'", is particularly engaging--a brilliant read.
