About the Book

Why care about poetic form and its intricacies, other than in nostalgia for a bygone era of criticism? The purpose of this book is to refresh today this care for criticism, applying an historically aware formalist reading to poetic form in Romanticism and showing how in theory and practice Romantic writers addressed, debated, tested, and contested fundamental questions about what is at stake in the poetic forming of language. In the process, it suggests the importance of these conflicted inquiries for contemporary critical discussion and demonstrates the pleasures of attending to the complex changes of form in poetic writing. It considers controversies about poetic form and formalism from the Romantic era to our own, analyses works by Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley, and reviews recent attacks on formalist criticism, arguing for the specific value of shaped language as one of the texts in which culture is written and revised.

Table of Contents:
Abbreviations; 1. Formal intelligence: formalism, romanticism, and formalist criticism; 2. Sketching verbal form: Blake's Political Sketches; 3. The formings of simile: Coleridge's 'comparing power'; 4. Revision as form: Wordsworth's drowned man; 5. Heroic form: couplets, 'self', and Byron's Corsair; 6. Teasing form: the crisis of Keats's last lyrics; 7. Social form: Shelley and the determination of reading; Notes; Index.

About the Author :
Susan J. Wolfson is Professor of English at Princeton University.

Review :
'A fine book that consciously flies in the face of prevailing critical currents through its detailed emphasis on poetic form in the big six Romantic poets ... This is a first-rate book - persuasive, well written, and with the interpretive radar on high.' European Romantic Review
