Title: Romantic revisions
Description: This collection of essays responds to the recent radical overhaul in the editing of Romantic texts. Leading American and British editors of William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, Leigh Hunt, Keats and Clare explain and illustrate the implications of their editorial methods for the ongoing process of revision (in texts and their reception) which they have reflected and helped to produce. The volume offers insights into the urgent debate over editorial practices and their theoretical bases, while uncovering the complex revisionary processes of creativity at the heart of Romantic writing.
