Abstract
This chapter examines the lyric in the Romantic period. It consists of an Introduction addressing some key issues: the lyric as the poetic embodiment of a “new poetics of spontaneity and self-expression” (Duff 2009, 53); the lyric as a form used for the expression of private and public themes; and critical constructions of the lyric immediately before, during, and after the Romantic period. The second section focuses on the central theme of the chapter, the achievement of Romantic poets in writing lyrics. It is divided into two parts: one dealing with lyric effects, the other with the treatment of the self and subjectivity. The third section addresses generic sub-divisions within lyric, a capacious generic category. The fourth section, something of a coda to the chapter, readdresses and reaffirms the nature of “originality” in the lyric practice of the period.
