Abstract:This essay offers readings of four of Lucille Clifton's poems in order to examine her references and allusions to the work of the "big six" British Romantic poets. It proposes that she transforms the writing of these historical authors to serve her own artistic and political ends. In her poems, voices across centuries, continents, races, and genders mingle methodically through a poetics of collaboration that both acknowledges and revises the poetry of these canonical white male poets for contemporary times and for diverse audiences.

Abstract:This piece examines the narrativization of the scars on Prince's back to read a narrative of an alternative humanism, that teaches us out of dispossession as ethics. Sylvia Wynter has argued that under the Western bourgeois order gender and race are a "function of genre." In showing the scars on her back to the culture that produced them, Prince disrupts these genres and no longer remains (only) subject to the white power around her but a maker of alternative and extrinsic narratives about blackness and being that we might read if we wish to do so.

Abstract:This article explores how burgeoning progressive thinking about racial equality at the turn of the nineteenth century transformed into renewed racism and anti-blackness as the British abolition movement won success. It argues that the evolution of black characters over the nineteenth century, the etymology of arguably the most infamous of racial epithets, and the emergence of the term "white supremacy" during the Romantic period offers a window into how literature and language worked with and contributed to anti-blackness.

Abstract:Through a summation of representative critical works that challenge us to think of new ways of imagining performing bodies and racial performance, this essay gestures towards a process-oriented approach for theorizing the performance of blackness. The essay argues that understanding performance-as-relation and performance-as-process allows us not only to extend our conception of performance to capture traces of its more evanescent elements in material objects and immaterial behaviors, but also to bring together new forms of historical evidence to give weight to our analyses of the performance of blackness across time and space, opening new avenues for a liberatory critique.

Abstract:Using Lady Caroline Lamb as a case study, this essay models a book historical approach to the author function and introduces the concept of recuperative materiality—repairing one’s reputation through the circulation of material objects. It resituates Lamb within a broad media context and highlights her diverse creative output in sheet music, literary annuals, illustrations in children’s books, and an account book. These objects and the moral reputations of those who produced and consumed them imbued Lamb with respectability after her notorious affair with Byron, and her career reveals the complex media landscape that created and circulated Romantic-era authorial identity.

Abstract:This essay examines the composition, publication and reception of Dorothy Wordsworth’s Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A.D. 1803. Manuscript versions of Recollections are interpreted as sociable texts exchanged by marginal women figures of the Wordsworths’ literary circle; as tools for Romantic cooperative writing, moving between prose and verse; and as later life emblems of agency and mobility. Building on existing research on literary sociability as well as manuscript circulation, this essay considers the permeable nature of Romantic women’s books, resituating them as intrinsic to the development of individual and communal literary identities and bibliographies in the period.
