Reviewers (with one exception) were very kind about the first edition of Romantic Dialogues in 2000.
It is now expanded (384 pp) and fabulously cheap - a mere £16.96 if bought direct from Lulu.com: http://www.lulu.com/shop/richard-gravil/romantic-dialogues-anglo-american-continuities-1776-1862/paperback/product-22282589.html.
The new edition include a very recent chapter on William Cullen Bryant, and one on Emily Dickinson's (and Walt Whitman's) escape from 'Locksley Hall'.
My thanks to the Fitzwilliam Museum for use of the cover image from Linnell's 1820 / 1821 copy of Blake's America: a Prophecy.
