520 1 $a"In Lyric Generations, G. Gabrielle Starr rejects
the usual genealogy of lyric poetry in which Romantic poets
are thought to have built solely and directly upon the works
of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton. She argues
instead the novelists such as Richardson, Haywood, Behn, and
others, while drawing upon earlier lyric conventions,
ushered in a new language of self-expression and community
which profoundly affected the aesthetic goals of lyric
poets. Examining the works of Cowper, Smith, Wordsworth,
Coleridge, and Keats in light of their competitive dialogue
with the novel, Starr advances a literary history that
considers formal characteristics as products of historical
change. In a world increasingly defined by prose, poets
adapted the new forms, characters, and moral themes of the
novel in order to reinvigorate poetic practice."--BOOK
