  • The Romantic Poetry Handbook

    The Romantic Poetry Handbook

    The Romantic Poetry Handbook This comprehensive survey of British Romantic poetry explores the work of six poets whose names are most closely associated with the Romantic era – Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Keats, Byron, and Shelley – as well as works by other significant but less widely studied poets such as Leigh Hunt, Charlotte Smith, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Elizabeth Landon. Along with its exceptional coverage, the volume is alert to relevant contexts, and opens up ways of understanding Romantic poetry. The Romantic Poetry Handbook encompasses the entire breadth of the Romantic Movement, from Anna Laetitia Barbauld to Thomas Lovell Beddoes and John Clare. In its central section ‘Readings’ it explores tensions, change, and continuity within the Romantic Movement, and examines a wide range of individual poems and poets through sensitive, attentive, and accessible analyses. In addition, the authors provide a full introduction, a detailed historical and cultural timeline, biographies of the poets whose works are featured, and a helpful guide to further reading. The Romantic Poetry Handbook is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of British Romantic poetry. It will also appeal to those with a general interest in poetry and Romantic literature. Michael O’Neill, is Professor of English at Durham University, UK. He has published widely on many aspects of Romantic literature, especially the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Victorian poetry, and an array of British, Irish, and American twentieth- and twenty-first-century poets. His most recent book is, as editor, John Keats in Context (2017). He has also published three volumes of poetry. Madeleine Callaghan, is Lecturer in Romantic Literature at the University of Sheffield, UK.

Lord Wolfson of Marylebone Trustee of the Wolfson Foundation from 1955 and Chairman 1972-2010 © The Wolfson Foundation FOREWORD The year 1972 was a pivotal one for the Wolfson Foundation: my father, Lord Wolfson of Marylebone, became Chairman and the Wolfson History Prize was established. No coincidence there. History was my father’s passion and primary source of intellectual stimulation. History books were his daily companions. Of all the Foundation’s many activities, none gave him greater pleasure than the History Prize. It is an immense sadness that he is not with us to celebrate the fortieth anniversary.

    ISSUE 20 MICHAELMAS 2020 GONVILLE & CAIUS COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE Pandemics past and present Affordable ventilators for Africa The Caian behind Private Eye ’s Nooks and Corners Fellows win Wolfson History Prize and the Copley Medal A g n e t From the Director of Development t a L a z a r u s I was excited and delighted to join Caius in January this year, and immediately set about meeting Caians. Many of the 2 019/20 events and reunions had been cancelled because of the kitchen refurbishment, so I particularly looked forward to our US visit, the May Week Party and the September Annual Gathering. All those occasions would have given me chances to meet and thank you, our loyal supporters. Your generosity has been vital for the College and will continue to be so in the challenging years that lie ahead. As I write this, 6 months into the pandemic, I feel sad that the computer screen has been my closest friend for too long now. Like you, I am itching to see life return to normal, to plan for the future and celebrate all that is so special about you Caians and this College. The new kitchens should be ready for action by early 20 21 and in a feat of optimism we are publishing the events calendar on the back cover. It is correct as we go to press but may change, so please check the website. You will notice a few changes in the team when you get in touch and when you next visit Caius.
