Meer over het boek

Focusing on the connections between Romanticism and modern poetic innovation, this collection of essays argues against the notion of a stark divide between the two. It explores how the radicalism of Romantic poetry has influenced experimental movements from the late nineteenth century to contemporary times, revealing a continuity that reshapes our understanding of literary history. Through this lens, the book reexamines the evolution of poetry and its political implications, offering a fresh perspective on the development of poetic forms.
