In "Romantic Complexity", Jack Stillinger examines three of the most admired poets of English Romanticism - Keats, Coleridge, and Wordsworth - with a focus on the complexity that results from the multiple authorship, the multiple textual representation, and the multiple reading and interpretation of their best works. Specific topics of this title include the joint authorship of Wordsworth and Coleridge in the Lyrical Ballads, an experiment of 1798 that established the most essential characteristics of modern poetry; Coleridge's creation of eighteen or more different versions of "The Ancient Mariner" and how this textual multiplicity affects interpretation; the historical collaboration between Keats and his readers to produce fifty-nine separate but entirely legitimate readings of "The Eve of St. Agnes"; and, a number of practical and theoretical matters bearing on the relationships among these writers and their influences on one another. Stillinger shows his deep understanding of the poets' lives, works, and the history of their reception, in chapters rich with intriguing questions and answers sure to engage students and teachers of the world's greatest poetry.
