Humour in the Letters of Thomas Campbell.
Humour within the letters and personal writings of Romantic poets and authors has remained relatively neglected. Similarly seldom studied is the Scottish Romantic poet Thomas Campbell (1777–1844).

Similarly seldom studied is the Scottish Romantic poet Thomas Campbell (1777–1844). Calling into question John Anster's assessment of Campbell's letters as a 'weary heap of good-for-nothing evidence', this article will attempt to give his unpublished epistles their rightful prominence in studies of Romanticism.

By shedding light on the use of humour in his letters, this article will challenge current preconceptions of Campbell, and show how he used humour to forge and maintain relationships in both his personal and his business correspondence. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Romanticism is the property of Edinburgh University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
