194229 BORLAND, Maureen. WILDE'S DEVOTED FRIEND: A Life of Robert Ross, 1869-1918. Oxford: Lennard Publishing, 1990. 319 pp. First edition. Hardback. Photos. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Near Fine boards in Near Fine dust jacket in protective glassine. ISBN: 1852910852 $11.95. Since his death in 1918, Ross has remained something of an enigma, in spite of tantalizing cameos that adorn many biographies of the literary and artistic giants of Victorian and Edwardian England. Journalist, writer, art critic and gallery owner, His was a life that embraced painters such as Charles Ricketts, Roger Fry, Aubrey Beardsley and William Rotherstein and writers such as Arnold Bennett, H.G. Wells, Max Beerbohm, Siegfried Sassoon and Edmund Gosse. But the essence of Ross's life was his special role as Oscar Wilde's devoted friend and literary executor. The result of 10-years' research, and drawing upon much unpublished correspondence, here is a study of an amazing man and generous, loyal friend, and a book that unlocks many of the secrets and finer feelings of the Wilde cult.

197013 CHRISTENSEN, Jerome. ROMANTICISM AT THE END OF HISTORY. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. 236 pp. Hardback. Notes. Index. Near Fine cloth in Near Fine dust jacket in protective glassine. ISBN: 0801863198 $19.95. The Romantics lived through a turn of the century that, like our own, seemed to mark an end to history as it had long been understood. They faced accelerated change, including unprecedented state power, armies capable of mass destruction, a polyglot imperial system, and a market economy driven by speculation. In ROMANTICISM AT THE END OF HISTORY, Jerome Christensen challenges the prevailing belief that the Romantics were reluctant to respond to social injustice. Through provocative and searching readings of the poetry of Wordsworth; the poems, criticism, and journalism of Coleridge; the Confessions of De Quincey; and Sir Walter Scott's Waverley, Christensen concludes that during complicated times of war and revolution English Romantic writers were forced to redefine their role as artists.
