Abstract

The article deals with the relation of Lowry's "Under the Volcano" to Romanticism. In the complex webvof literary allusions ot' this novel the specific analogics with the themes and the structural devices of
Romanticism are established. Special attention is paid to Lowry's use of landscape which owes a debt to Romantic nature poetry. Thc parodic inve rsion of some Rontantic themes and motives is analysed as an important part of Lowry's narrative strategy. The article concludes that the many echoes of the Romantic tradition immcnscly en rich the polysemantics of this late modemist novel.
