A collection of essays highlighting the pervasive, yet often unacknowledged, role of Romantic poetry and poetics on modern and contemporary innovative poetryLiterary history generally locates the primary movement toward poetic innovation in twentiethcentury modernism, an impulse carried out against a supposedly enervated lateRomantic poetry of the nineteenth century. The original essays in Active Romanticism challenge this interpretation by tracing the fundamental continuities between Romanticisms poetic and political radicalism and the experimental movements in poetry from the late nineteenth century to the present day.According to editors July Carr and Jeffrey C. Robinson, active romanticism is a poetic response, direct or indirect, to pressing social issues and an attempt to redress forms of ideological repression; at its core, active romanticism champions democratic pluralism and confronts ideologies that suppress the evidence of pluralism. Poetry fetterd, fetters the human race, declared poet William Blake at the beginning of the nineteenth century. No other statement from the era of the French Revolution marks with such terseness the challenge for poetry to participate in the liberation of human society from forms of inequality and invisibility. No other statement insists so vividly that a poetic event pushing for social progress demands the unfettering of traditional, customary poetic form and language.Bringing together work by wellknown writers and critics, ranging from scholarly studies to poets testimonials, Active Romanticism shows Romantic poetry not to be the sclerotic corpse against which the avantgarde reacted but rather the wellspring from which it flowed.Offering a fundamental rethinking of the history of modern poetry, Carr and Robinson have grouped together in this collection a variety of essays that confirm the existence of Romanticism as an ongoing mode of poetic production that is innovative and dynamic, a continuation of the nineteenthcentury Romantic tradition, and a form that reacts and renews itself at any given moment of perceived social crisis.
