Romanticism and the Uses of Genre

Auteur: Duff, David (Professor of English, University of Aberdeen)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
This wide-ranging reappraisal of the role of genre in British Romanticism explores the generic innovations that drive the Romantic 'revolution in literature', but also the fascination with archaic forms such as the ballad, sonnet, epic, and romance, whose revival and transformation make Romanticism a 'retro' as well as a revolutionary movement.
