Pilgrims in pursuit of non-existing shrines, women as man-eating giants and viragos, cannibalism, suicide, black humour and other provocatively border-crossing topics leave scholars hopelessly at a loss as to where they should categorise Byron and what they should do with his penchant for marginal themes, genres and characters. Byron caters to numerous Romantic clich駸 (weltschmerz, melancholy, subjectivity), while simultaneously reverting to genres, themes and motifs that cast him as a pre- or even anti-Romantic. This collection will trigger new debates in Byron scholarship and show that terms such as canonicity and marginality tend to be blurry and stand in constant need of re-negotiation. \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-reads Byron's heterogeneous texts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForegrounds Byron's marginal texts, the margins from which they were written and the thematic marginalities they deal with\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRe-evalutates Romanticism in the light of marginality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePinpoints the interface between Classicism, Romanticism and Modernity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norbert Lennartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147443942X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474439428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Norbert Lennartz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450241511679,"sku":"9781474439428","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d184c57-c93e-44f3-bd38-4a7f4fa33b86.jpg?v=1698503641","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/byron-and-marginality-norbert-lennartz-9781474439428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
