On the Rise and Progress of Popular Disaffection,” in Es- Says, Moral and Political, 2 Vols Notes Introduction 1. Robert Southey, “On the Rise and Progress of Popular Disaffection,” in Es- says, Moral and Political, 2 vols. (1817; London: John Murray, 1832), II, 82. The identity of Junius remained a mystery, and even Edmund Burke was suspected. For an argument that he was Sir Philip Francis, see Alvar Ellegård, Who Was Junius? (The Hague, 1962). 2. Byron, “The Vision of Judgment” in Lord Byron: The Complete Poetical Works, ed. Jerome J. McGann and Barry Weller, 7 vols. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1980–92), VI, 309–45. 3. M. H. Abrams, Natural Supernaturalism: Tradition and Revolution in Ro- mantic Literature (New York: W. W. Norton, 1971), p. 13. 4. See Anne K. Mellor, English Romantic Irony (Cambridge: Harvard Univer- sity Press, 1980). 5. Jerome J.

McGann, Towards a Literature of Knowledge (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1989), p. 39. 7. McGann, Towards a Literature of Knowledge, p. 39. 8. McGann, “Literary Pragmatics and the Editorial Horizon,” in Devils and Angels: Textual Editing and Literary Theory, ed. Philip Cohen (Charlottesville and London: University Press of Virginia, 1991), pp. 1–21 (13). 9. Marilyn Butler, “Satire and the Images of Self in the Romantic Period: The Long Tradition of Hazlitt’s Liber Amoris,” in English Satire and the Satiric Tradition, ed. Claude Rawson (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1984), 209–25 (209). 10. Stuart Curran, Poetic Form and British Romanticism (New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986), pp. 12–13. 11. Gary Dyer, British Satire and the Politics of Style, 1789–1832 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997). Treatments of Romantic-period satire before this tend to be uneven and burdened with a lack of information on the primary texts, which often accompanies an assumption that there is no significant satire after Pope. Perhaps the clearest example is Thomas Lock- wood’s Post–Augustan Satire: Charles Churchill and Satirical Poetry, 1750–1800 (Seattle and London: University of Washington Press, 1979), 222 Satire and Romanticism which contains some useful information on poets and their works but whose bias is revealed in the admission that Lockwood views his study as “some- thing in the way of an autopsy” (p. 3). One recent helpful study is Claude Rawson’s Satire and Sentiment, 1660–1830 (Cambridge: Cambridge Uni- versity Press, 1994). Rawson places his key terms in narrative sequence, “a patrician culture in decline” being reflected in the decline of satire and its displacement by sentimental modes (xi). As this implies, Rawson is inter- ested in strong canonical works, and accepts as given the opposition of satiric and sentimental modes it is my purpose to challenge. 12. The importance of Romantic-period parody, precisely defined, is also be- ginning to become apparent, beginning with a collection edited by David A. Kent and D. R. Ewen, Romantic Parodies 1797–1831 (London and Toronto: Associated University Presses, 1992), and culminating in the more complete anthology edited by Graeme Stones and John Strachan, Parodies of the Ro- mantic Age, 5 vols. (London: Pickering & Chatto, 1999). 13. Marilyn Butler, Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries (New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1982), p. 2. 14. For a summary of precisely how this shift in critical opinion was effected, see Upali Amarasinghe, Dryden and Pope in the Early Nineteenth Century: A Study of Changing Literary Taste, 1800–1830 (Cambridge: Cambridge Uni- versity Press, 1962). 15. Joseph Warton, Essay on Pope, 2 vols. (London: 1756–82), I, 344; the im- portance of Warton’s judgments is discussed by Amarasinghe, esp. pp. 27–51. 16.

I take the example of the contextualized wink from Gilbert Ryle, as cited in Clifford Geertz’s “Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Cul- ture,” in The Interpretation of Cultures (New York: Harper Collins/Basic Books, 1973), pp. 3–30. 19.

P. Dutton, 1907), p. 255. Some other notable treatments include that of Roger Sales, English Literature in History 1780–1830: Pastoral and Politics (New York: St. Martin’s, 1983), who cuts through critical pieties in his assessment of Crabbe as an apologist for “officialdom,” a perspective I find helpful even if it sometimes verges on reductionism. One widespread twentieth-century reading of Crabbe is ex- pressed in an essay by L. J. Swingle, “Late Crabbe in Relation to the Augus- tans and Romantics: The Temporal Labyrinth of his Tales in Verse, 1812,” ELH 42 (1975), 580–94, which argues that late Crabbe, at least, looks more like modernism than either “Augustanism” or “Romanticism.” It may be that Crabbe’s Romantic-period satire is what looks to us more like mod- ernism than anything usually called “Romantic.” 6. Byron’s Letters and Journals, ed. Leslie Marchand, 12 vols. (Cambridge: Har- vard University Press, 1973–82), V, 265 (15 September 1817). Those going the wrong way, according to Byron, included those now recognized as Ro- mantic: Scott, Southey, Wordsworth, Moore, Campbell, and Byron himself. 7. Leslie Stephen, Cornhill Magazine XXX (1874), 454–73, in Crabbe: The Critical Heritage, ed. Arthur Pollard (London and Boston: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1972), pp. 437–50 (447–48). Despite this opposition of Crabbe and Keats, Stephen means to preserve Crabbe’s reputation against the most “bigoted” Keatsians. Coventry Patmore compares Crabbe and Shelley in the St. James Gazette, 16 February 1887, in Pollard, pp. 465–67. 8. Byron, English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, l. 858, Lord Byron: The Complete Poetical Works, ed. Jerome J. McGann and Barry Weller, 7 vols.

McGann, “The Anachronism of George Crabbe,” in The Beauty of Inflections: Literary Investigations in Historical Method and Theory (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1988), pp. 294–312 (p. 294). McGann anticipates some of my arguments, here, beginning with his assertion that the Romantic judg- ments against Crabbe were “part of a polemic on behalf of certain poetical criteria” (p. 295), and his recognition that Jeffrey’s critical response is “one of the most important local manifestations of the various cultural struggles which marked the entire period” (p. 295). I intend, however, to shift the emphasis to genre, and to take the differences between Crabbe and the Ro- mantics as the starting place for examining how those differences themselves get constructed in terms of genre and mode. 10. Edinburgh Review, July 1819, 118–48. 11. Fenwick note to “Lucy Gray,” The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth, ed. Ernest de Selincourt and Helen Darbishire, 5 vols. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1940–49; 1940), I, 360. 12. Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste, trans. Richard Nice (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1984), p. 511. The remark in this case is made in the context of Bourdieu’s recog- nition that sociological analysis of aesthetics is itself open to charges of “ter- roristic” leveling. On the contrary, he replies, it is the process of taste-making itself that exercises the truly terrorizing “symbolic violence” of exclusion and denigration. He goes on to cite modern French magazines as the best examples of such symbolic violence. It is intriguing to consider that it was late eighteenth-century “magazines” of a different sort, also aimed at what was then a new “middle-brow” audience, were one important venue for the kind of rural poetry both Wordsworth and Crabbe produced, in their different ways.

    «FEARLESS THEREFORE POWERFUL» SOCIABILITY AND EMOTIONS IN MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN Cristina Paoletti Università di Bologna, Dipartimento di Filosofia, [email protected] Abstract. «Fearless therefore Powerful». Sociability and Emotions in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein This paper analyses the role played by fear as the motive of both Victor Frankenstein and his monster’s behaviour. Moving from the natural horror the monster excites, fear is mostly considered by Mary Shelley as a normal reaction, and its absence marks pathological circumstances, such as cruelty or unsympathetic and antisocial feelings. Referring to the philosophical debate on moral sympathy and to the scientific discussion on Erasmus Darwin’s account of animal instincts, Shelley also provided remarkable criticis Keywords: Enlightenment, Emotions, English Literature, Seventeenth Century.

An essay on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein might perhaps appear an obvious choice when dealing with fear and its literary and artistic representations. Victor Frankenstein’s odd and shocking story was firstly received with dismay and disappointment and an early reviewer explained the terror produced by the novel with the folly of the author. The [author’s] dreams of insanity are embodied in the strong and striking language of the insane, and the author, notwithstanding the rationality of his preface, often leaves us in doubt whether he is not as mad as his hero.

SELECT LETTERS OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD GARNETT NEW YORK D.APPLETON AND COMPANY X, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET MDCCCLXXXIII INTRODUCTION T he publication of a book in the series of which this little volume forms part, implies a claim on its behalf to a perfe&ion of form, as well as an attradiveness of subjeâ:, entitling it to the rank of a recognised English classic. This pretensión can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertain­ ment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfe&ion is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary litera­ ture of the eighteenth century. Pope and Gray, artificial in their poetry, were not less artificial in genius to Cowper and Gray ; but would their un- their correspondence ; but while in the former premeditated utterances, from a literary point of department of composition they strove to display view, compare with the artifice of their prede­ their art, in the latter their no less successful cessors? The answer is not doubtful. Byron, endeavour was to conceal it. Together with Scott, and Kcats are excellent letter-writers, but Cowper and Walpole, they achieved the feat of their letters are far from possessing the classical imparting a literary value to ordinary topics by impress which they communicated to their poetry.

  • Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage
    Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage Cori Mathis Abstract The Lake Poets circle was prolific; they wrote letters to each other constantly, leaving a clear picture of the beginning and eventual decline of the marriage between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Sarah Fricker Coleridge. Coleridge also was fond of chronicling his personal life in his work. Coleridge’s poetry and prose clearly show that, though he may have come to regret it, he originally married Sarah Fricker for love and was very happy in the beginning of their relationship. The problem with their marriage was that they were just fundamentally incompatible, something that was not Sarah Fricker’s fault—she was a product of her society and simply unprepared to be a wife to someone like Coleridge. Unfortunately, scholars have taken Coleridge’s letters as pure truth and seem to have forgotten that every marriage has two partners, both with their own perspectives. This reflects a deliberate ignorance of Coleridge’s tendency to see situations quite differently from how they actually were. Because of this tradition, Sarah Fricker Coleridge is often portrayed as difficult at best and a harridan at worst. It does not help that she attempted to help her husband’s reputation by the majority of their letters that she possessed—one cannot see her side as clearly. In this essay, I hope to prove that she was simply an unhappy wife, married to a poetic genius who had decided she was the impediment to his happiness while she only wanted to keep their family together and safe.

With a specific focus on Richard Brinsley Peake’s 1823 gothic melodrama, Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein I unpack how the novel’s cross-medium adaptation leads to a changed conception of the relationship of its central characters. In Frankenstein, Victor is the focal figure and acts as the Creature’s dominant counterpart. However, the characters’ cross-medium adaptation from page to stage inverts this Doppelgänger relationship from Shelley’s initial conception in the novel.

    John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy.

    52 To SIR EDWARD WALPOLE 28 APRIL 1769 I never heard Mrs Macaulay^ was supposed to write Junius,s nor know anything of her owning those papers. I have heard they were written by a merchant, which is not very probable. In general I think opinions are divided between Lord George Sackville,6 Will. Burke,7 not Edmund, and Mclean.8 For myself, I think both the style and matter make it most probable that the first is the author— some circumstances however are against that opinion. The attack on Westons looks like the second, as one should suppose the author well acquainted with the Secretary's office; some persons too think the style resembles that of the occasional writer three years ago, who was certainly Will. Burke: but to me Junius is a more concise and better writer. I am not acquainted with either Mclean's style or parts. In short, you see I have told you what I don't know. Yours ever H.W. 4.
