Romanticism and Consciousness is a comprehensive collection of essays on Romanticism - its intellectual and political backgrounds, its place in literary history, its continued relevance to the present age, its relation to psychoanalysis and other modern trends of thought - and on the major English Romantic poets. The topics covered include the relations between nature and consciousness, nature and revolution, and nature and literary form; the principal poets studied are Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Some of the essays have been especially revised by their disinguished authors for this volume; some others appear here for the first time. The scholars and critics represented are Samual H. Monk, Owen Barfield, Geoffrey H. Hartman, J.H. Van den Berg, Paul de Man, W.K. Wimsatt, Jr., M.H. Abrams, Northrop Frye, Alfred Cobban, Walter Jackson Bate, Josephine Miles, John Hollander, Martin Price, Frederick A. Pottle, Humphry House, Alvin B. Kernan, and Harold Bloom.
