Current Bibliography, 1996*runs from 1/96 - 5/97
Jonathan GrossDePaul UniversityThis bibliography covers articles, reviews, and book-length studies of Byron, Hazlitt, Hunt, Percy and Mary Shelley, Keats, and their circles from January 1996 through May 1997. A few exceptions have been made, particularly when a book published in 1995 is alluded to repeatedly in reviews published in 1996. Some effort will be made to include bibliographical material for January 1994-December 1995 in the next installment. (Eventually, this archive will include all back issues of the bibliography.) Works that appear with a lower case letter "a" next to the number were added after the index was compiled. When information was unavailable, dissertations and masters essays appear without catalog information. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Clement Dunbar for his meticulous work as bibliographer for the Keats Shelley Journal. In compiling the present bibliography, I have gained a renewed appreciation for the splendid job he has done. Special thanks to Brett Withers, Jonathan Etes, and John Pendell, Jr. for research assistance; and to Michelle Nichols for superb copy-editing and indexing. Any remaining errors are mine alone. Through 1999 this bibliography was compiled by Jonathan David Gross. Beginning in 2000, inquiries, corrections, and suggested entries should be sent to the new Bibliographer, Kyle Grimes, Universitiy of Alabama, Birmingham, kgrimes@uab.edu.

Introduction discusses Paul Ricoeur's claim that there is no identity without narrative. Each writer draws from scientific and/or aesthetic discourse about objectivity while endorsing a state of subjectivity that coincides with object recognition. Discusses importance of sympathy for Mary Shelley, wonder for Charles Darwin, prosopopoeia for John Ruskin, and conflictual engagement for Charlotte Brontë. Cass, Jeffrey.

Colbert, Benjamin. "'Strange Truths in Undiscovered Lands': P. B. Shelley and the Literature of Travel" [Doctoral dissertation, Univ. of California, Los Angeles, 1996], DAI, 57-02A (1996), 690. Shelley as a travel writer drawing on historiographical and aesthetic discourses (e.g. manners and national character, Rousseauistic primitivism, the sublime, the beautiful, and the picturesque) embedded in travel literature on Europe of the French revolutionary and post-revolutionary period. Shelley "privileges the traveler-poet's imagination as the site of cultural appropriation of and resistance to self and social disintegration." In Alastor, Shelley counters Wordsworth's view of England's moral self-sufficiency with a syncretic travelogue that privileges the poet-traveler as "citizen of the world," accredited by a picturesque sensibility.

The ethical posture of sympathy both impedes and promotes social intercourse, by threatening to turn men into doubles of each other. Because male characters need women to resolve homoerotic tension and to bolster their masculinity, these texts highlight a crucial but ultimately oppressed role to which women have been relegated in the social order. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein links self aspiration to distinguish the self from others to male homophobia. Dawson, P. M. S.
