poetry that seems rather apathetic towards themes of transcendentalism. “The Idiot Boy” - whilst Romantic in that it “rebelled against the established canons of neoclassical aesthetics” and “radically questions” the element of narrative within the ballad – is completely incongruous with McGann’s judgement.
