Summary
Two main lines of Romantic address descend from the Romantic period, the one – long dominant – identified with Lyrical Ballads, the other with Byron. The conventions of the dominant line are the critical focus of the Byronic line, which was forecast in William Blake and which was adopted and adapted by Pushkin, Lermontov, Heine, Poe, Baudelaire, and Lautréamont.
