On both sides of the Atlantic the classics--including the surprising influence of Hebrew, regarded as a classical language--play a major role in what becomes labeled romanticism only later in the nineteenth century. \u003cbr\u003eThe relation between classic and romantic is not one of opposition but subtle interpenetration and mutual transformation. While romantic writers regard what they are doing as new, this attitude in no way prompts them to abjure valuable lessons of genre, expression, and judgment flowing from the classical authors they love. This volume disturbs categories that have become too settled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes in almost equal proportion British and American authors and is transatlantic in scopeMoves well beyond the five canonical British romantic poets, on whom considerable work has been done concerning their relation to classical literatureIncludes studies of African American and women writers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
