A new edition of Dr. Kim Blank’s Then & Now has been released. This site presents a selection of articles on Romantic-era poets taken from the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1910-1911), generally held to be the greatest encyclopædia ever published in English, each accompanied by a companion article written by a modern scholar, responding to the original article and considering how the reputation and popularity of the poet has changed in the years since the encyclopædia was published. This edition incorporates a new article on Thomas Campbell by Amy Wilcockson, and a new Introduction by Dr. Blank, a version of which was previously published in The Fortnightly Review.
