摘要

The first chapter investigates the many usages of “minor” as a classification of literature. It argues that “minor” is not only a posthumous literary-historical grouping, but a stance that writers adopt as they present themselves. The stance is particularly significant for many late Romantic writers, writing in the decade after 1824. The introduction separates the Romantic minor from the Romantic failure and the special case of Laetitia Elizabeth Landon.
