About This Book

A mixed collection of essays and imaginative compositions that interrogate literary forms, taste, and sentiment. Contributors offer critical accounts of comedy, romance, and heroic poetry; probe responses such as the agreeable sensation of terror and devotional feeling; and include imitations, visions, apologues, and a fragmentary tale. Analytical pieces are often paired with creative examples to illustrate principles of character, national and fashionable folly, monastic institutions, and sensibility, shifting between theoretical argument and lyrical or narrative experiment.
