Acknowledgements

Anyone currently working on the Romantic writers explored in this book owes a substantial debt of gratitude to the biographers and literary critics who have revolutionised the study of Romantic lives and letters over the past few decades. I would like to acknowledge the inspiration I have drawn from biographies of Shelley by Richard Holmes and James Bieri; of Mary Shelley by Emily Sunstein and Miranda Seymour; and of Leigh Hunt by Nicholas Roe. I have been influenced by several key studies of Romantic sociability, chief among them Marilyn Butler’s
Romantics, Rebels and Reactionaries
, Jack Stillinger’s
Multiple Authorship and the Myth of the Solitary Genius
, Charles Robinson’s
Shelley and Byron:
The Snake and Eagle Wreathed in Fight
, and Jeffrey Cox’s
Poetry and Politics in the Cockney School
.
