"""This accomplished book--through a meticulous reconstruction of the uncanny encounter between New Criticism and British Romanticism--takes us straight into the scene of reading itself. And there it remains, through one mesmerizing case study after another. Irreducible to either history or criticism, Rovee's book weaves these two methods, or perspectives, together so that, in their steady pulsations, they illuminate one another's corresponding powers.""---Alex Woloch, Stanford University ""With its fascinating and unusual archive, its compelling strands of argument, and its lucid writing, New Critical Nostalgia offers an original understanding of New Criticism and romantic poetry's role in the development of American literary studies.""---Kevis Goodman, University of California, Berkeley"
