 Stephen Behrendt, On James Chandler's _England in 1819_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles
James Chandler, England in 1819: The Politics of Literary Culture and the Case of Romantic Historicism.
This is perhaps the place to observe that England in 1819 shares with much of the scholarly discourse at this century's end the tendency to wear its erudition rather visibly, even ostentatiously.
There is Felicia Hemans, for instance, whose Tales and Historical Scenes, in Verse appeared in 1819 and whose treatment of the relationship of past and present in the "cases" of protagonists who are at once historically remote and circumstantially topical reveals a complex and sophisticated awareness of how writing (and therefore texts) may constitute history.

Between the official end of the Revolutionary War against England in 1783 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, American literature grew up.
An early milestone in the history of a truly American literature came in 1819, when Washington Irving published the first installments of The Sketch Book, a collection of essays and stories, including "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." A year later, fellow New Yorker James Fenimore Cooper published his first novel.
The presidency of Andrew Jackson is associated with a growth in democratic sentiment in America.

 Reading Hemans Part 2 - Teaching with RC - Pedagogies - Romantic Circles
I, for one, would welcome a use of the term aesthetic that is not linked to the term "elitist." It seems to me that many of the posts on this list have made that link, and I understand the theoretical base on which it is built.
Thanks to McGann's post, things are opening up for me. As for Longfellow and Fitzgerald, it may be that the very popularity and ease of memorization of their works turned much of that work into cliche and made it an easy target for those attempting to establish a different sensibility.
However, if I were a teacher of Polish literature, I would never consider including "Sweetest Mother" on a course syllabus of Polish poetry with the likes of Mickiewicz, Herder, or Szymborska, unless it helped my students better understand their work.

 Aranda (Brown University)
In this survey of early American Literature, we will embark on an examination of texts written and/or printed in North America with the particular assignment of asking what they reveal about their own construction.
Our aim in this course will be to supplement our canonical readings of these texts with a sensitivity to the historical and cultural conditions under which the authors of these texts wrote.
Thus, questions of what America represents and how it is represented--the City upon the Hill, We the People, Land of Opportunity, etc.--will invariably surface as tantamount to understanding the evolution of a literate culture in America.

 Romanticism On the Net 20 (November 2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
On these grounds recent criticism of the poem has at times been misleading, drawing inferences that have little or no support in the poem or in what is known about Wordsworth's circumstances at the time of its composition.
In pointing to a few of these problems in the critical literature, I will suggest why it is worth attempting to resolve the location of "Tintern Abbey." The forms of landscape that constitute the scene of the poem make it powerfully iconic, a vehicle for self-understanding that Wordsworth appears to find unique.
Thus the third problem in the critical literature on the poem is the uncertainty and confusion over Wordsworth's location and what natural and human figures it encompassed.

But Stoker added now-familiar twists: His undead leave no mirror reflection, they shun garlic, and they can be killed only by a stake through the heart.

 Coleridge and Creative (Day)Dreaming. Luther (1997). ASD Journal Dreaming 7(1)
Part two, "The Poem as (Day)Dream," briefly sketches the literary-historical and life background of "The Picture." It further links the poem's themes with those of Freud's essay, and consolidates the point of view of the practicing poet.
In their introduction to a recent collection of essays on dream and literature, Carol Schreier Rupprecht and Kelly Bulkley develop an extended metaphor of "oneirocriticism," of dream-interpretation itself as a kind of dreaming (1993, 1-12).
At the same time, like Freud's analysis, much literary criticism (including the present essay), and the preface to "Kubla Khan," it resides in what Meredith Skura describes as the "gap between what the text [of literature and dream] seems to mean and the extra meaning it seems to imply" (1980, 364).

As critic and essayist Hazlitt is thought to be remarkable for his felicity, even fertility with respect to English literature.
Going through what has been written about him, one senses that he had no particular system with which to practise literary criticism.
The first, most apparent in his "Lectures on the English Poets", comprises the effort to be "general", to come up with a theory to explain "what poetry in general is and what it is not", perhaps a reminder of Coleridge's ideas about poetry.

Neither did Richard Potter, the first American ventriloquist, ever mention it in his twenty-seven years of performing and advertising, although he, too, at least occasionally used "a wooden doll, with which we have seen him hold spirited conversations" in his ventriloquial act, as we know from an 1819 account.
It is far more likely, however, that Brown did not know de la Chapelle's work (which was widely cited and excerpted) immediately, but had only read accounts of it or excerpts from it at second hand.
The same anecdote is recounted of the unidentified contemporaneous ventriloquist (Rannie claimed it was he) cited in the Encyclopedia; or, Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature, 21 vols.

James Russell Lowell, who became professor of modern languages at Harvard after Longfellow retired, is the Matthew Arnold of American literature.
He began as a poet but gradually lost his poetic ability, ending as a respected critic and educator.
Lowell writes in the same vein, linking the colonial "character" tradition with the new realism and regionalism based on dialect that flowered in the 1850s and came to fruition in Mark Twain.
