Description
In this companion volume to Romantic Confusions of the Good (Rowman & Littlefield, 1997), distinguished scholar Marion Montgomery continues his exploration of Romantic poetry, including that of Eliot, Pound, Keats, Donne, Wordsworth, and Williams, from a Thomistic perspective. Of particular interest to Montgomery are intellect and its relation to reality, intuition and rational thought, analogy, and attribution. This is a valuable addition to the literature on Romantic poetry.
