'Teaching Romanticism is intelligently divided into thematic essays ('new approaches') and case studies in teaching practice. It is most impressive as a compendium of pedagogical experience and constitutes an invaluable source of ideas for anyone faced with the prospect of developing a new module on British Romantic period literature. What emerges from the editors' overview, and from the volume as a whole, is an optimistic, research-led teaching culture, which has benefited from the variousness and curiosity of historicism, and which is open to considerations of gender, class, nationality, marginalised writers and cultures, and interdisciplinarity...' - Anthony Howe, Birmingham City University, British Association for Romantic Studies
