Books by Andrew Elfenbein

Elfenbein takes on the absorbing subject of homosexuality in British Romantic writing, showing the centrality of disreputable desires to the works of Romantic male authors--from William Beckford to Samuel Taylor Coleridge to William Blake-as well as to the writings of lesser-known but equally significant female authors of the period.

Romanticism and the Rise of English provides a revisionary account of Romantic literature in light of the eighteenth-century transformation of the English language.
