Romanticism - Duncan Wu

The main difference in the second edition is the omission of Wordsworths ThirteenBook Prelude in favor of the much shorter TwoPart Prelude, supplemented by wellchosen extracts from the thirteenbook poem. A number of works have been added: Wordsworths The Ruined Cottage, The Pedlar, Michael, The Brothers, A NightPiece and The Discharged Soldier; Coleridges The Eolian Harp (1834), Kubla Khan (MS version), This LimeTree Bower my Prison (1797 MS version); Keats Lamia; Byrons Stanzas to Augusta, Epistle to Augusta, and Don Juan Canto II; Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, and Charlotte Smith, Beachy Head. Editorial materials have been greatly expanded. There is a new, larger introduction, providing a discussion of what Romanticism may be considered to be; a chronology; all author headnotes have been considerably enlarged, and individual lists of books for further reading added. In addition to the first list of contents, two others have been added, one listing contents by author name, the other by theme.
