Description

Book Synopsis

Why are there so few 'happily ever afters' in the Romantic-period verse romance? Why do so many poets utilise the romance and its parts to such devastating effect? Why is gender so often the first victim? The Romantic Paradox investigates the prevalence of death in the poetic romances of the Della Cruscans, Coleridge, Keats, Mary Robinson, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Landon, and Byron, and posits that understanding the romance and its violent tendencies is vital to understanding Romanticism itself.

Review Quotes

`The Romantic Paradox provides a series of sensitive and accurate readings that challenge and enlarge our understanding of the complex relations between romanticism and the romance.' - David Punter, Professor of English, University of Sterling
