James Heffernan

professor, English, Dartmouth

Having originally specialized in English Romanticism, James Heffernan has published studies of all six major Romantic poets, on the cultural impact of the French Revolution, and on the relations between English Romantic poetry and landscape painting. The latter topic led him to examine more generally the relation between visual art and language in his latest book, *Cultivating Picturacy*.
