Podtitul: Romantická teorie a tradice estetického myšlení Autor zkoumá proměny, jakými prošlo v Anglii první poloviny 19. století myšlení o literatuře – v rámci estetiky, literární teorie a kritické praxe – a jak se tato změna odráží v beletrii samé. Hlavní tezí této již klasické knihy angloamerické literární teorie (poprvé vyšla 1953) je, že v této době se zrodily všechny základní pojmy moderní literární vědy, včetně třeba sémiotiky (lze však v něm nalézt například také předzvěst teorií Sigmunda Freuda) a že romantická teorie mimořádně ovlivnila intelektuální dějiny posledních dvou století. Titul naznačuje dva klíčové pojmy – mimesis a expresi.
