Product Description A defining feature of Romantic writing, critics have long agreed, is its characterization of the self in terms of psychological depth. Many Romantic writers, however, did not conceive of the self in this way, and in Romantic Identities Andrea K. Henderson investigates Romantic writing that challenges the "depth" model, or operates outside its domain. Henderson explores various forms of discourse and their perceptions of identity, examines subjects ranging from obstetrics to gothicism, and considers writings by Radcliffe, Byron, Scott, and Shelley, among others. | ||

A wonderful surprise It is rare to find such a clear explication of a topic in what is typically a turgid field. Henderson manages to combine originality of thought with lucid writing to create a little gem of a book. While sometimes she may stretch a bit to make her points, it is forgivable in service of developing her provocative thesis. A bit steep at ( ), but nonetheless worthwhile. | ||
