First American Edition
"A genuinely engaging narrative . . . exuberant and inventive, and of course . . . thoroughly 'romantic." -- Peter Ackroyd, The Times
"A glinting mosaic of life-stories, spanning the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and stretches across Europe, from England to Russia . . . Fascinating narrative . . . not just exciting, absorbing and revealing, it fulfills the function of the finest criticism." -- John Carey, The Sunday Times
"Behind all the anecdote there is extraordinary achievement . . . sophistication . . . and a certain kind of companionship . . . A fine book." -- Anita Brookner, The Observer
"In the context of this engaging book the word 'affinities' is both sly and precise, providing a recurrent motif among the author's numerous and vividly detailed sketches from the Romantic age." -- John Bayley, The Guardian
"Vivid, moving, sometimes funny . . . a kaleidoscopic picture of an age." -- Linda Kelly, The Spectator
"A highly readable, thoroughly exhilarating combination of Lit. crit. and history which will outshine all existing textbooks on the Romantic Age . . . It breathes life into classic writers and the tumultuous times in which they worked." -- Val Hennessy, Daily Mail
