Fitzgerald's TN

[alice wellintown]

The persistence of Romantic thought and literary practice into the
late twentieth century is evident in many contexts, from the
philosophical and ideological abstractions of literary theory to the
thematic and formal preoccupations of contemporary fiction and poetry.
Though the precise meaning of the Romantic legacy is contested, it
remains stubbornly difficult to move beyond. This collection of essays
by prominent critics and literary theorists was first published in
1999, and explores the continuing impact of Romanticism on a variety
of authors and genres, including John Barth, William Gibson, and John
Ashbery, while writers from the Romantic and Victorian period include
Wordsworth, Byron and Emily Brontë. Many critics have assumed that the
forms and modes of feeling associated with the Romantic period
continued to influence the cultural history of the the first half of
the twentieth century. This was the first book to consider the mutual
impact of postmodernism and Romanticism.
