Overview
- Addresses, for the first time, the role played by a specifically wild and ecstatic paganism (as opposed to “Hellenism” or “classicism”) in British Romanticism
- Explores the idea that the Shelley circle self-consciously adopts paganism as a symbolic embrace of chaos
- Makes groundbreaking use of the younger romantics’ journals and correspondence
Part of the book series: The New Antiquity (NANT)
