SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book is the first to provide a connected history of epic poetry in Britain between the French Revolution and the First World War. Although epic is widely held to have been shouldered aside by the novel, if not invalidated in advance by modernity, in fact the genre was practised without interruption across the long nineteenth century by nearly every prominent Romantic and Victorian poet, and shoals of ambitious poetasters into the bargain. Poets kept the epic alive by revisingits conventions to meet an overlapping series of changing realities: insurgent democracy, Napoleonic war, the rise.
