The book explores the interplay between materialist and idealist perspectives on reading during the Romantic period (1790-1830). It delves into how readers were conceptualized in poetry and criticism, analyzing models of canon-formation, intertextuality, and reader-response. The work also highlights the social dynamics of reading, including reading-coteries and copyright reforms, while addressing the philosophical and ideological influences of the time. Notably, it emphasizes the rise of women's poetry and its impact on literary reception, including non-canonical writers.
