Romantic Misfits

by Robert Miles

This book explores the false starts and disturbances of Romantic writing in Britain - 'misfits' and misfittings - as both a constitutive challenge to canonical romanticism and a distinctive literary field worth examining on its own account. Misfits include the Shakespeare forger W.H. Ireland, the novel itself, and the culture of Dissent.

[Lawrence · Rating 4 out of 5]

I still feel like I could spend more time reading and re-reading this to flesh out the details in my mind, but the exam is nearly upon me so I am closing the book. But nonetheless, a fascinating read - one of the pleasant surprises of my reading list.
