CONTENTS

My first acknowledgements must go to my wife Patrice, for her patience in living with this latest project or, more accurately, for her patience in living with me while this project has been underway and then to my research assistant, Angie Dunstan, for her dedication and her optimism, which turn the most tedious task into a pleasure.

This book is another chapter in my long and deepening relationship with Edinburgh. To my Edinburgh friends, then, must go my next acknowledgements. Randall Stevenson and Sarah Carpenter always make me feel at home, and Ian Campbell is always genial and obliging when I ask a favour of him. The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities attached to the University of Edinburgh has twice extended its hospitality, and will do so again later this year. My thanks to Susan Manning, its director, for her friendship and scholarly advice, and to Anthea Taylor for her kind attention and assistance.

And then at last my thanks must go to the many, many librarians who have enabled this project to go ahead: at the British Library and the Bodleian; at Christchurch, Oxford; University College London; and the London School of Economics; at the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh but most especially to the librarians of the National Library of Scotland, and not just because they have had to suffer me for longer periods. I dont remember ever receiving from them less than the friendliest attention to my questions and requests.

My thanks, too, to Mark Pollard at Pickering & Chatto for welcoming the project into their stable and tolerating a short delay, and to my copy editor, Julie Wilson, for her perspicacity and rigour.

I wrote other books to honour my parents, Brian and Diana Christie, while they were alive. They died within months of each other while I was writing up this one, and it is dedicated to their memory with all the confused love and painful gratitude we could never express to each other.

Those parts of the book which have been published elsewhere, and are here republished in a more or less revised form with the permission of their respective editors, also need to be acknowledged. For my prologue, I have adapted an article Francis Jeffrey in Recent Whig Interpretations of Romantic Literary History, English Literary History, 76 (Fall 2009); a part of on Wars of the Tongue in Post-War Edinburgh: On Blackwoods Edinburgh Magazine and its Campaign against the Edinburgh Review, Romanticism, 15 ( July 2009).

INTERLOCUTOR: do you think this new history is a good thing?

AUTHOR: Its been the only viable career move the past ten years.

Herbert Lindenberger

Discussing the triumph of Ren Welleks unified field theory of Romanticism (imagination for the view of poetry, nature for the view of the world, and symbol and myth for poetic style), Jerome McGann makes a rhetorical gesture familiar to readers of his influential Romantic Ideology
