Literature's Romantic Era: Historicists Re-Interpret It and Generate Controversy among Their Colleagues.
Paul, Angus
Chronicle of Higher Education, v34 n31 pA4-5,7 Apr 13 1988
Using "historicist" techniques, scholars have offered challenging alternatives to standard views on the Romantic era. Historicists advocate yoking theories such as deconstruction with analyses of political, social, and other factors that played a role in the creation of period literature. An exhibit touring the United States is discussed. (MLW)
