Keats-shelley Journal 

Abstract: T he annual bibliography of the Keats-Shelley Journal catalogues recent scholarship related to British Romanticism, with emphasis on secondgeneration writers—particularly John Keats, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, Leigh Hunt, and William Hazlitt. The bibliography includes books, chapters in books, book reviews, articles in journals, other bibliographies, dissertations, and editions of Romantic-era literature and historical documents. The listings are compiled primarily from the catalogues of major British and American publishers and from the tables of contents of books and major journals in the field. The first section of the bibliography lists a wide range of scholarly work on Romanticism that might be of interest to the Journal’s readers, while the subsequent sections list items that deal more specifically with the six aforementioned authors. Because the length of the bibliography precludes my annotating every item, only some entries have annotations—primarily books dealing with the second-generation Romantics. The following bibliography catalogues scholarship for the year 2015, along with the occasional item that inadvertently may have been excluded from the annual bibliography in previous years or that may have arrived too late for inclusion. While I have made every attempt to keep the bibliography accurate and comprehensive, the occasional error or omission is inevitable. Please send corrections, additions, and citations for upcoming bibliographies to Ben P. Robertson at Troy University (ksjbiblio@troy.edu).

Abstract: LTHOU G H Joanna Baillie (1762-1851) and Lord Byron both spent their childhoods in Scotland and later achieved fame as writers, they seem to have had little else in common. While Byron was educated at Harrow and Cambridge, Baillie was largely self-educated, and Byron's famous wanderings contrast sharply with Baillie's quiet life in her home in Hampstead. When Byron wrote dramas he protested vehemently (almost too vehemently) that they were destined for the closet, but Baillie composed her numerous plays expressly for the stage. And perhaps their most significant difference has to do with their moral principles: Byron, although not without ethics, could sometimes write (and even act) like a nihilist, whereas Baillie, a devout Christian, hoped that her dramas would provide moral enlightenment. But despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they had little in common, Baillie and Byron made a strong impression on each other. To Baillie, Byron was initially a steadfast friend who tried to get her tragedy De Monfort produced on Drury Lane; soon after he became a domestic monster who broke the heart of Baillie's dear friend, Annabella Milbanke. Byron was both fascinated and bewildered by Baillie's accomplishments as a dramatist, especially her ability to write tragedies, since he and his contemporaries believed that women, because of their innate delicacy and lack of worldly experience, were incapable of mastering this genre.' To Byron, only a woman with a powerful masculine imagination and knowledge of the world (a woman akin to Catherine the Great or Semiramis) could have written Baillie's plays, which deal with human
