These thirteen essays, some previously published and others appearing here for the first time, are united by a continuing endeavour to join formalism with wider concerns. They seek to reconnect literature with the motives from which it springs and the social relations within which it exists. There is fusion of psychoanalytic insight, textual criticism, and historical scholarship. Amongst the writers discussed are Wordsworth and Byron.
