Beschreibung

This book offers a radical new theory of the role of poetry in the rise of cultural nationalism. With equal attention to England, Scotland, and Wales, the book takes an Archipelagic approach to the study of poetics, print media, and medievalism in the rise of British Romanticism. It tells the story of how poets and antiquarian editors in the British nations rediscovered forgotten archaic poetic texts and repurposed them as the foundation of a new concept of the nation, now imagined as a primarily cultural formation. It also draws on legal and ecclesiastical history in drawing a sharp contrast between early modern and Romantic antiquarianisms. Equally a work of literary criticism and history, the book offers provocative new theorizations of nationalism and Romanticism and new readings of major British poets, including Allan Ramsay, Thomas Gray, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Zusammenfassung

Argues that through the collaboration of poets and antiquarians the English, Scottish, and Welsh nations came to imagine themselves the heirs to thousand-year-long cultural traditions that began with medieval bards

Engages with nationalism in greater depth than most literary studies

Complements several fields of study: the history of nationalism; Scottish and Welsh literatures; Romanticism across the British nations; ballad collecting; and historical poetics
