Classical Romantic

Identity in the Latin Poetry of Vincent Bourne Transactions, American Philosophical Society (vol. 97, part 1)

About this book

This book recuperates the Latin poetry of Vincent Bourne by exploring the poet's unique techniques of self-fashioning that distinguish him from his neo-Latin forebears & contemporaries. Haan is the UK's most eminent neo-Latinist. Through close & perceptive analysis of Bourne's negotiation of poetic identity, Haan argues in new ways for the blend of classicism & Romanticism informing his marginalized status. She capitalizes on the familiarity with other 18th-cent. English poets about whom she has previously written (Cowper, Gray, & Addison) & she makes use of contemporary literary theory without becoming dependent on any single approach or disfiguring her writing with critical jargon. The connections with English-language poets that Haan adduces will be a very considerable resource for students of vernacular poetry.
