 | Mind in Creation: Essays on English Romantic Literature in Honour of Ross G. Woodman Subjects: English literature -- 18th century -- History and criticism; English literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism; Romanticism -- England; The Mind in Creation celebrates the career of Ross G. Woodman, one of Canada's finest teachers and critics. During his more than forty-one years in the Department of English at the University of Western Ontario he has profoundly influenced scores of graduate and undergraduate students. From his important early study The Apocalyptic Vision in the Poetry of Shelley (1964) through dozens of scholarly essays and papers, Ross Woodman has illuminated the English Romantics in ways that engage both the poetic and the critical imagination in the process that Shelley calls "the mind in creation." An astute contemporary critic and a major collector of Canadian art, Woodman has written on the poet and playwright James Reaney and the painter Jack Chambers. |
