- Summary:
- Mostly British scholars of English literature look for expressions of personal belief or feelings in the published and private writing of canonical authors. Among their topics are undefinitive Keats, Shelly and Wordsworth revisited, authentic images of India and the Orient in the works of British Romantic women poets, the authentic voice of Elizabeth Gaskell, and authenticity at the end of the century from Cowper to Conrad.
