Romantic Fiat
Green Writing
Demystification and Enchantment in Lyric Poetry
Romanticism and Ecology
Eric Reid Lindstrom, Assistant Professor, Department of English, University of Vermont, USA
In the Romantic period’s economics of ‘fiat’ money the legacy of romanticism involves absolutist gestures of verbal fiat. Focused on William Wordsworth, but in constant range of his poet-successors and modern critics, Romantic Fiat presents an argument for a double romantic signature of ‘let there be’ and ‘let be.’ December 2010 272pp Hardback £50.00

Certain in Uncertainty Emily A. Bernhard Jackson, Assistant Professor of English, University of Arkansas, USA
Taking a fresh approach to Byron, this book argues that he should be understood as a poet whose major works develop a carefully reasoned philosophy. Situating him with reference to the thought of the period, it argues for Byron as an active thinker, whose final philosophical stance - reader-centred scepticism - has extensive practical implications.
