This study calls attention to the pervasive but largely unacknowledged poetics of the "Fancy," an umbrella term for a poetics of excess, play, and visionary defamiliarization written during the British Romantic period. This poetics, Robinson demonstrates, is an early nineteenth-century version of what will become the visionary, experimental, open-form poetics of the twentieth century.
