Books by Maureen N. (Associate Professor McLane

This book is a history and theory of British poetry between 1760 and 1830, focussing on the relationship between Romantic poetry and the production, circulation and textuality of ballads. It shows how Romantic poetry was powerfully shaped by oral modes of poetic construction.

This Companion offers a comprehensive overview and interpretation of Romantic poetry in its literary and historical contexts. Attention is given to the work of less well-known or recently rediscovered authors, alongside some of the greatest poets in the English language: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Scott, Burns, Keats, Shelley, Byron and Clare.

This book, published in 2000, examines the relationship between British Romantic poetry and the human sciences of the period. Maureen McLane offers original readings of major works in the Romantic canon, focusing on their engagement with the philosophical, political and anthropological writing of pre-eminent theorists such as Malthus, Godwin, Burke and others.
