"A fine addition to the ever-growing body of Warren criticism,
this study is especially valuable as it shows the bases of Warren's Romantic vision and
the influence of poets such as Wordsworth and Yeats who helped him to arrive at the
mastery of his last great period. An invaluable study." - Joseph Blotner,
author of Robert Penn Warren: A Biography "This is a reading of Warren's poetry that is at once judicious and fresh. Warren began his career with the reputation of being an anti-Romantic. Lesa Carnes Corrigan convincingly argues that the bleak anti-Romanticism of the early poems led Warren into his poetic impasse of the late 1940s, and that his reconsideration, in his essay on Coleridge, of the meaning of Romanticism, helped him end that impasse by enabling him at once to see the new possibilities of vision that Romanticism offers, and to respect its insight into the dark passages of life." - John Burt, editor of The Collected Poems of Robert Penn Warren
