This work on English romanticism is a tribute to Edwin Graves Wilson, lifelong scholar-professor-administrator at Wake Forest University. All nine contributing essays are written by his former students and are compiled here as a "token of gratitude for the profound and enduring gifts," he has bestowed upon thousands of students as well as the larger Wake Forest community. Thomas K. Hearn, Jr., president of the university, regards Wilson as "the most recognized and most eloquent voice of Wake Forest."
