Ebook PDF Lyric Generations, by G. Gabrielle Starr
Eighteenth-century British literary history was long characterized by two central and seemingly discrete movements—the emergence of the novel and the development of Romantic lyric poetry. In fact, recent scholarship reveals that these genres are inextricably bound: constructions of interiority developed in novels changed ideas about what literature could mean and do, encouraging the new focus on private experience and self-perception developed in lyric poetry.
In Lyric Generations, Gabrielle Starr rejects the genealogy of lyric poetry in which Romantic poets are thought to have built solely and directly upon the works of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton. She argues instead that novelists such as Richardson, Haywood, Behn, and others, while drawing upon earlier lyric conventions, ushered in a new language of self-expression and community which profoundly affected the aesthetic goals of lyric poets. Examining the works of Cowper, Smith, Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats in light of their competitive dialogue with the novel, Starr advances a literary history that considers formal characteristics as products of historical change. In a world increasingly defined by prose, poets adapted the new forms, characters, and moral themes of the novel in order to reinvigorate poetic practice.

Review
Refreshingly, this impressive study of poetic form does not read the eighteenth century as a slow road to Romanticism, but fleshes out the period with surprising and important new detail.
(Times Literary Supplement)In this intriguing formal study Starr breaks down the conventional barriers between the history of poetry and the history of the novel... Overall, a subtle and carefully executed genre study, of interest to anyone in 18th-century or Romantic studies.
(Choice)For fifteen years or so, using a term provided by Mikhail Bakhtin, some Wordsworthians have characterized Wordsworth's lyric poetry as 'novelized.' G. Gabrielle Starr's Lyric Generations gives that characterization new force en specificity in the context of a larger argument that traces the interrelations of poetry and the novel through the long eighteenth century.
(Don Bialostosky Wordsworth Circle)The rise of the novel, argues Starr, is strongly influenced by the lyric poetry which preceded it, while at the other end of the century romantic poetry owes much, in turn, to the rise of the novel.
(Bill Phillips Cercles)Starr is an excellent close reader, and her observations about so large and diverse an array of texts are fresh, striking, and downright smart.
(Sophie Gee Eighteenth-Century Fiction)Starr provides a brilliant reading of Clarissa.
(Christopher Johnson New Perspectives on the Eighteenth Century)Starr excels... in juxtaposing works seldom compared and so granting us the wherewithal to reframe familiar histories of formal change.
(Deirdre Lynch Modern Language Quarterly)Original and compelling book... that should inspire discussion for some time to come.
(Anne Williams Studies in Romanticism)In this invigorating study, Gabrielle Starr shows that the lyric and the novel in the eighteenth century, far from being rivals or opposites, were codependents. In addition to novelistic elements in poems and lyric passages in novels, there were deeper currents of mutual development in a complex reimagining of subjectivity and representation. Lyric Generations ranges over a very wide range of examples, juxtaposing canonical texts with lesser-known ones, and develops a history of generic change that is also a lively and original reinterpretation of individual works.
(Leo Damrosch, Harvard University)This is an elegant and well-informed formalist analysis of relations between the lyric and the novel from the mid-seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Starr is remarkably subtle and nuanced in her approach to questions of generic difference and modulation. Her book's stylish prose is thoughtful and lively, and its command of such a wide variety of poems and novels makes it a pleasure to read.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Required reading for dixhuitiemistes By capitol reader Starr's brilliant elucidation of the generic interplay between poetry and prose during the eighteenth century will be welcomed by students of what used to be called the "rise of the novel." Also insightful for scholars of Romantic poetry, as Starr focuses on the way these poets came to use "representational practices pioneered in the novel to bridge the gap between one person's lived experience and that of another." (198)
