Description

This scholarly examination by Helen Boyles explores the profound connections between Romantic literature and the Methodist movement, revealing how writers from both traditions grappled with expressing deep emotional and spiritual experience. Boyles challenges the dismissive characterisation of William Wordsworth and his contemporaries as 'Methodistical,' tracing this criticism to historical anxieties about the 'enthusiasm' associated with Methodism. The book traces how enthusiasm has long provoked hostility and discomfort, arguing that this legacy shaped how Romantic poets negotiated their own emotional intensity. Through careful literary analysis, Boyles demonstrates the complex ambivalence both movements shared towards fervent religious expression, offering fresh insight into a critical period of English literary and spiritual history.

Key Features

This Routledge publication examines the relationship between Romantic poets and Methodist theology through the lens of religious enthusiasm and emotional expression.

Boyles addresses the historical criticism of William Wordsworth and other Romantic writers as 'Methodistical,' revealing the suspicions underlying this characterisation.

The book traces how enthusiasm functioned as a contested concept in both Romantic literature and Methodist practice, generating lasting cultural hostility and embarrassment.

This work offers scholars and students of literature, religious history, and Romanticism a nuanced analysis of two major movements that shaped modern culture.
