Reviews

‘While previous studies have shown the limitations of the Romantics’ claims to originality, Edinger brings welcomed depth and breadth to the discussion. With detailed analysis, he documents specific debts across a wide range of texts, many of which deserve greater critical attention. The result is an especially rich understanding of Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s intellectual inheritance… [“Genial” Perception] reflects a lifetime of reading and study applied to an accessible, persuasive argument.’ Christopher D. Johnson, 1650-1850: Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era
