Description
Frank Kermode's "The Romantic Image" is a seminal work of literary criticism that explores the defining characteristics of the Romantic tradition. Kermode identifies the artist in isolation and the emerging power of the imagination as key features of this movement, offering a nuanced analysis of what makes it enduring. With his characteristic wit and polish, Kermode gently pokes fun at artists' self-image while questioning the public's harsh perception of 'the artist'. This thought-provoking work is quintessential to Kermode's oeuvre, showcasing his ingenious argumentation and mastery of language.
