Description

Explore a new perspective on the radical poets of the 1790s with this scholarly work from Routledge. Language, Custom and Nation in the 1790s: Locke, Tooke, Wordsworth, Edgeworth examines how the ideas of seventeenth-century English philosopher John Locke shaped the revolutionary poetry of the era. While many scholars attribute the poetic experiments of the 1790s to the influence of Rousseau or the impact of the American and French revolutions, this book offers a different view. It traces how Locke's theories regarding arbitrary language and tyranny provided the foundation for the radical Jacobin poets. By following these intellectual threads, the text provides a deeper understanding of how language and custom shaped national identity during this transformative period in literary history.
