Summary

Challenging the academically accepted view that the early poems of the Lake Poets were the most significant, Tim Fulford focuses on the importance and innovation of their later work. From this standpoint he argues that Southey's poetry is revealed as comparable with that of Wordsworth and Coleridge.

The Late Poetry of the Lake Poets Summary

The Late Poetry of the Lake Poets: Romanticism Revised by Tim Fulford (De Montfort University, Leicester)

The long-established association of Romanticism with youth has resulted in the early poems of the Lake Poets being considered the most significant. Tim Fulford challenges the tendency to overlook the later poetry of no longer youthful poets, which has had the result of neglecting the Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey of the 1820s and leaving unexamined the three poets' rise to popularity in the 1830s and 1840s. He offers a fresh perspective on the Lake Poets as professional writers shaping long careers through new work, as well as the republication of their early successes. The theme of lateness, incorporating revision, recollection, age and loss, is examined within contexts including gender, visual art, and the commercial book market. Fulford investigates the Lake Poets' later poems for their impact now, while also exploring their historical effects in their own time and counting the costs of their omission from Romanticism.

The Late Poetry of the Lake Poets Reviews

'This richly contextual, deeply researched book is likely to appeal to all those interested in the evolution of the long creative life, and the challenges it presents to traditional categories of literary periodization.' The Times Literary Supplement
'The 'Lakeness' of Southey, Coleridge and Wordsworth amounted to a revisionary belatedness. This richly researched study shows us how an initially hostile label came to signify something positive about these poets ... this study includes many brilliantly resourceful close readings of unfamiliar poems. Fulford's critical style is enlivened by daring coinages that show off his writerly verve and reinternalize the literary as a presence within what he has to say. Not the least virtue of this learned book is not just how much its trenchant re-assessments inform us, but how well it displays the author's relish of and commitment to poetry.' Peter Larkin, Review 19 (www.nbol-19.org)
'... the book describes not the experience of any given reader but something like the reanimated or reimagined experiences of the authors themselves, which makes it a remarkable act of critical sympathy and engagement.' Brian Goldberg, Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era
