This book visits the Romantic legacy that is so strongly central to the successive development of literature and culture from the 1830s onward. Although there have been critical accounts examining aspects of this long history of indebtedness, there has been no collection that attempts to survey this entire period. The study considers the changing notion of Romanticism, looking at the diversity of its writers, the applicability of the term, and the ways in which Romanticism has been reconstituted. Essays cover relevant historical periods and literary trends, such as the Victorian era, the Romantic Gothic, and Modernism as part of a dialectical response to the Romantic legacy. Contributors also examine how Romanticism has been reconstituted within postmodern and postcolonial literature as both a reassessment of the Modernist critique and of the imperial contexts that have throughout this time-frame underpinned the Romantic legacy, bringing into focus the contemporaneity of Romanticism and its political legacy. This collection examines the influence of Romanticism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to reveal the diversity and continuing relevance of the genre in new and exciting ways, offering insights into writers such as Browning, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Lewis, MacNiece, Rushdie and Auster.
