Description

First published in 1986, this scholarly examination explores how the great Romantic poets of the first generation - Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey - developed powerful radical and reformist ideas that shaped liberal and left-wing political discourse for generations to come. Contrary to the common assertion that these Romantics abandoned their revolutionary principles for conservatism, this book argues their foundational ideas contained enduring progressive implications. The influence of the French Revolution and Wordsworth's youthful vision continued through Carlyle and his disciples Ruskin and Kingsley, establishing a philosophical lineage that redefined British political thought. Part of the Routledge Library Editions series on Political Thought and Political Philosophy, this volume provides essential context for understanding how Romantic ideals intersected with political ideology and social reform movements throughout the nineteenth century.

Key Features

Traces the transmission of French Revolutionary thought through Wordsworth's influence on Carlyle, Ruskin and Kingsley's political discourse.

Originally published in 1986 as a foundational text for literary and political studies connecting Romanticism to subsequent liberal and left-wing movements.
