Unfettering Poetry

The book explores the underappreciated poetics of 'Fancy' in British Romantic poetry, highlighting its significance in shaping early nineteenth-century literary forms. Robinson argues that these poetics serve as a precursor to the visionary and experimental styles that emerged in the twentieth century, revealing a continuity in poetic innovation across the two centuries. Through this analysis, the work sheds light on the evolution of poetic expression and its lasting impact on modern literature.
