Keats-Shelley Journal Volume 66 (2017)

We’re pleased to present information about volume 66 of the Keats-Shelley Journal. This latest volume includes articles on previously unpublished Byron letters, Frankenstein’s many puzzles, gender in P. B. Shelley’s The Banquet, quick and slow Romanticisms, and 1816 in Mary Shelley’s and Lord Byron’s manuscripts. There are also three essays devoted to the year 1817, which first came together as the K-SAA’s Romantics 200 panel at the 2017 MLA convention, organized by Susan J. Wolfson and William Galperin. Addressing the suspension of habeas corpus, reviews of the Biographia, and the birth of the “Cockney,” these three essays remind us, as Wolfson writes in her foreword, that “1817 is not so far away after all.”

A subscription to the Keats-Shelley Journal is included with membership in the Association, and previous issues of are available through Project Muse and JSTOR.
