Romanticism and the Letter is a collection of essays that explore various aspects of letter writing in the Romantic period of British Literature. Although the correspondence of the Romantics constitutes a major literary achievement in its own right, it has received relatively little critical attention. Essays focus on the letters of major poets, including Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and Keats; novelists and prose writers, including Jane Austen, Leigh Hunt and Charles Lamb; and lesser-known writers such as Melesina Trench and Mary Leadbeater. Moving from theories of letter writing, through the period's diverse epistolary culture, to essays on individual writers, the collection opens new perspectives for students and scholars of the Romantic period.
Madeleine Callaghan is a Lecturer in Romantic Literature at the University of Sheffield. Her research specialty is the poetry of Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Yeats. Her monograph, Shelley's Living Artistry: The Poetry and Drama of Percy Bysshe Shelley, will be published by Liverpool University Press in 2017. She has published various articles and chapters on Romantic and post-Romantic poetry, and has been assistant editor for The Oxford Handbook of Percy Bysshe Shelley, edited by Michael O'Neill and Anthony Howe and, with O'Neill, is co-authoring the Blackwell Handbook of Romantic Poetry, to be published in 2017.
Anthony Howe's main research focus is Romantic period poetry, but he has wider interests in literary theory, literary controversies, and the connections between poetry and philosophy. His recent monograph, Byron and the Forms of Thought, offers a provocative re-reading of Byron's philosophical thought through an analysis of the poet's varied use of literary form. He has published a number of essays on the Romantics and is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Percy Bysshe Shelley. He is currently working on a project about letter writing and Romantic poetics.
