Jerome McGann's exciting new work represents the most significant intervention in Romantic studies since his own The Romantic Ideology. It takes as its prime aim the reading of neglected poetry, principally by women, which qualifies as either poetry of sensibility or poetry of sentiment. It is certain to provoke discussion among anyone interested in the hundred years of poetry it considers. Writers discussed include: Ann Batten Cristall, Benardin, Coleridge, Erasmus Darwin, Thomas Gray, Francis Greville, Felicia Hemans, William Jones, Keats, Ossian, Mary Robinson, Schiller, Shelley, Wordsworth, and Ann Yearsley.

Profuse and detailed ... The book's pleasures are cumulative; it is better read through than sampled ... This is McGann's best book because it employs his best gifts in giving himself fully, consciously, and with articulate purposiveness to a refined accounting of what in poetry transcends conceptualization and outsoars its moment ... The Poetics of Sensibility completes a trajectory that has developed in McGann's work over the decades.
