"This book offers a radical new theory of the role of poetry in the rise of cultural nationalism." Strabone shows how English, Scottish, and Welsh "rediscovered forgotten archaic poetic texts and repurposed them as the foundation of a new concept of the nation." Scholars of Romantic and Victorian period poetry will especially appreciate this approach. The author also discusses historical uses of form. Appears not to have been read.
