Bøker av Kim Wheatley

A critical analysis of the dialogue between Shelley's poetry and its contemporary reviewers. The author argues that Shelley's idealism can be recovered through the study of its reception and integrates a reception-based methodology with careful textual analysis.

Despite their desire to rise above the so-called "age of personality" and personal attacks, Romantic-era figures such as Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Leigh Hunt, William Hazlitt, Sydney Owenson, and the explorer John Ross became enmeshed in public feuds with the Edinburgh Review and the Quarterly Review.
