Description
"This is a book about the biographical afterlives of the Romantic poets and the creation of literary biography as a popular form. Julian North focuses on the first published biographies of six major poets of the period: Byron, Shelley, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Landon, in the context of the development of biography as a genre from the 1780s to the 1840s. Biographers such as Thomas Moore, Mary Shelley, and Thomas De Quincey, 'domesticated' Byron, Shelley, and other poets by situating them at home, opening up their (often scandalous) private lives to view, and bringing readers into intimate contact with greatness" -- Book jacket
