It has often been suggested that Romanticism of its very nature has affinities with religious quest and spiritual value. These new essays, written in honor of distinguished eighteenth-century and Romantic scholar John L. Mahoney, explore the intersection of Romanticism and religion. They range from broad considerations of this relationship in several Romantic writers to close readings of individual poems.

The collection breaks new ground in the exploration of the role of religion in the Romantics experience and will be of interest not only to scholars of Romanticism and historians of nineteenth-century religion, but to anyone interested in the intellectual life of the nineteenth-century England.

“These thirteen essays on the literature produced in the aftermath of the American and French Revolutions demonstrate the renewed relevance of this literature to the dominant ethical and spiritual concerns of our time: the need for social and individual healing, the relation and responsibilities of the individual to the collective (and of the collective to the individual), the degradation of the natural environment, and, above all, the grounds for hope.”---—Anthony John Harding, University of Saskatchewan

...a very deep and wide-reaching collection of thoughtful, provocative, and gratifying essays.---—Laura Dabundo, The Wordsworth Circle
