Title: The All-Sustaining Air
Description: "Drawn from Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, the title of this book suggests the cultural and literary persistence of the Romantic in the work of many British, American, and Irish poets since 1900. Allowing for and celebrating the multiple, even fracture nature of Romantic legacies, Michael O'Neill focuses on the creative impact of Romantic poetry on twentieth - and twenty-first century poetry. Individual chapters embrace numerous authors and texts, and span different cultures; the intention is not the forlorn hope of completeness, but the wish to open up possibilities and intersections, and there is a strong sense throughout of poetry serving as a form of literary criticism."--Jacket.
