JONATHAN WORDSWORTH Visionary Gleam A companion volume to Ancestral Voices: essays originally written to introduce texts in the Revolution & Romanticism series revised, arranged and indexed to form a random exploration of the published work, major and minor, central and peripheral, of the Romantic age. Paperback £14.95 $21.95 These are essays remarkably concentrated, rich with information, gracefully written, studded with apt quotation, and immensely useful, written by a literary critic and textual scholar of formidable learning and acute judgement. ... The works dealt with are not only by the enduringly famous - Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, et al. - but also the now obscure (William Frend, Richard Mant, Charles Maturin), and some emerging from obscurity (Charlotte Smith, Mary Tighe, Felicia Hemans). ... It is difficult to overstate the value of this absorbing work, not only to undergraduates majoring in English and related disciplines, but also to graduate students and faculty. Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a great deal of knowledge - some of it very hard to come by - at small cost in time. |
