Abstract
Este estudio ofrece la visión del ensayista
Peter George Patmore sobre el Romanticismo
a través de la parodia a reseñas en
Rejected Articles (1826), una obra esencial
para entender un Romanticismo paralelo
al canon más tradicional. Partiendo de
una introducción contextual del autor y la
obra, se centra metodológicamente en la
discusión sobre la naturaleza y estrategias
paródicas de la obra. El resultado muestra
una mejor comprensión del desarrollo de
la crítica literaria romántica del momento,
y una visión del Romanticismo poco convencional
en torno a los procesos de publicación
de la época. Asimismo, se logra un
retrato indirecto y original de estereotipos
de importantes escritores románticos, a
merced del mercado editorial, demostrando
así la necesidad de recuperar el valor crítico
y literario de la obra de Patmore.
This study offers the essayist P. G. Patmore’s view of Romanticism through the parody of literary reviews in Rejected Articles (1826), an essential work for understanding a Romanticism that ran parallel to the more traditional canon. Starting with a contextual introduction of the author and his work, it methodologically focuses on the discussion of the nature and parodic strategies of the work. The result provides a better understanding of the development of Romantic literary criticism of his time, and an unconventional view of Romanticism in terms of the publication processes of the time. It also provides an indirect and original portrayal of stereotypes of relevant Romantic writers at the mercy of the publishing market, demonstrating in that way the need to retrieve the critical and literary value of Patmore’s work.
