Romanticism and Religion from William Cowper to Wallace StevensCovering the entire field of Romanticism from its eighteenth-century origins in the writing of William Cowper to late-twentieth-century manifestations in the work of Wallace Stevens, this collection is an original and much-needed intervention in Romantic studies, bringing together the contextual awareness of recent historicist scholarship with the newly awakened interest in matters of form and an appreciation of the challenges of postmodern theory. |
