Summary
Poet and Romantics scholar Jeffrey C. Robinson eloquently argues that the principles of Romanticism are alive and well in the twenty-first century.
Romantics scholar Jeffrey C. Robinson elaborates commentaries on one hundred “manifesto statements” taken from nineteenth-century texts to illustrate that radical principles of poetry emerge in and are central to Romanticism.

Critics Review
“Open these pages to a wonderment of inspired rethinking of the Radical Romantic Manifesto! Illuminated by commentaries on nineteenth-century texts, traditional expectations of poetry explode with the imagery of Revolution. A utopian vision of poetics and just government.” – Maureen Owen, author of everything turns on a delicate measure
“Jeffrey Robinson makes it exuberantly apparent that Romanticism is not a closed historical period but an unfinished, syncretic montage whose voices often seem anything but ‘Romantic.’ What emerges is an ongoing call for imaginative freedom, propelled by fragmentation, decomposition, contradiction, polyphony, intertextuality, fancy, and the continual invention of forms.” – Charles Bernstein, author of Pitch of Poetry
“Analyzing the work of contemporary poets, this profound reimagining of the Romantic lineage repoliticizes literary history. What a wild and daring compendium of writers, works, and contexts Robinson includes as manifest. His ‘Radical Romanticism’ unapologetically embraces the outré, the precarious, the margins of form and meaning, the outside- and under-ness of what we call POETRY as both disciplined genre (including visual poetry) and unboundedness—retroactively reinvigorating literary scholarship with new and open ways of reading. Wherever this drunken boat is careening, I want to jump aboard.” – Maria Damon, author of Postliterary America
