This collection of original essays by sixteen distinguished scholars explores a wide range of relationships in the Age of Wordsworth: from radical politics in the 1790s to reactionary politics in the 1820s; between genres as diverse as writers and artists ; and connections between Romanticism and Victorian England, nineteenth-century America, and contemporary Freudian psychology. The essays are accessible to an educated general audience, but they will also be of interest to scholars and students of literature.
