Description

Through close readings of major poems, this book examines why the second-generation Romantic poets - Byron, Shelley, and Keats - stage so much of their poetry in Eastern or Orientalized settings. It argues that they do so not only to interrogate their own imaginations, but also as a way of criticizing Europe's growing imperialism. For them the Orient is a projection of Europe's own fears and desires. It is therefore a charged setting in which to explore and contest the limits of the age's aesthetics, politics and culture. Being nearly always self-conscious and ironic, the poets' treatment of the Orient becomes itself a twinned criticism of 'Romantic' egotism and the Orientalism practised by earlier generations. The book goes further to claim that poems like Shelley's Revolt of Islam, Byron's 'Eastern' Tales, or even Keats's Lamia anticipate key issues at stake in postcolonial studies more generally. Review '… this book is a compelling critical achievement in part because it is finely wrought, but also because in it Andrew Warren raises questions about the poetry of the second generation that are very much worth raising and discussing … Warren's study offers us real insight and sustained critical pleasures.' Theresa M. Kelley, Studies in Romanticism Book Description This book explores how the Romantic poetry of Byron, Shelley, and Keats engages with tales and themes of the Orient. About the Author Andrew Warren is John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities in the Department of English at Harvard University, Massachusetts. He specializes in Romanticism, poetry, philosophy and critical theory.
