À travers ses portraits littéraires de poètes et de prosateurs publiés dans des revues et rassemblés en 1889 dans la première édition d'Appreciations, Walter Pater (1839-1894) propose une certaine histoire littéraire anglaise depuis le xviie siècle jusqu'à William Morris et Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Abordant une grande diversité d'oeuvres dans leur caractère créatif pour les situer dans la trajectoire intellectuelle de leurs auteurs, Pater les replace au coeur du dialogue qu'elles entretiennent avec la culture anglaise. Connu comme prosateur et critique d'art, Pater se révèle critique littéraire sensible et stimulant, élaborant ses propres conditions de canonicité tout en célébrant la langue anglaise. Les textes présentés et annotés ici sont traduits pour la première fois.

The manner in which south-east Europe is viewed by western cultures has been an increasingly important area of study over the last twenty years. During the 1990's, the wars in the former Yugoslavia reactivated denigratory images of the region that many commentators perceived as a new, virulent strain of intra-European prejudice. British Literature and the Balkans is a wide-ranging and original analysis of balkanist discourse in British fiction and travel writing. Through a study of over 300 texts, the volume explores the discourse’s emergence in the imperial nineteenth century and its extensive transformations during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. There will be a particular focus on the ways in which the most significant currents in western thought – Romanticism, empiricism, imperialism, nationalism, communism – have helped to shape the British concept of the Balkans. The volume will be of interest to those working in the area of European cross-cultural representation in the disciplines of Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, European Studies, Anthropology and History.

This study, published in 2000, examines the dialogue between Romantic poetry and the human sciences of the period. Maureen McLane reveals how Romantic writers participated in a new-found consciousness of human beings as a species, by analysing their work in relation to discourses on moral philosophy, political economy and anthropology. Writers such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley explored the possibilities and limits of human being, language and hope. They engaged with the work of theorisers of the human sciences - Malthus, Godwin and Burke among them. The book offers original readings of canonical works, including Lyrical Ballads, Frankenstein and Prometheus Unbound, to show how the Romantics internalised and transformed ideas about the imagination, perfectibility, immortality and population which so energised contemporary moral and political debates. McLane provides a defence of poetry in both Romantic and contemporary theoretical terms, reformulating the predicament of Romanticism in general and poetry in particular.
