Intellectual Politics and Cultural Conflict in the Romantic Period
maps the intellectual formation of English plebeian radicalism and
Scottish philosophic Whiggism over the long eighteenth century and
examines their associated strategies of critical engagement with
the cultural, social and political crises of the early nineteenth
century. It is a story of the making of a wider British public
sphere out of the agendas and discourses of the radical and liberal
publics that both shaped and responded to them. When juxtaposed,
these competing intellectual formations illustrate two important
expressions of cultural politics in the Romantic period, as well as
the peculiar overlapping of national cultural histories that
contributed to the ideological conflict over the public meaning of
Britain's industrial modernity. Alex Benchimol's study provides an
original contribution to recent scholarship in Romantic period
studies centred around the public sphere, recovering the
contemporary debates and national cultural histories that together
made up a significant part of the ideological landscape of the
British public sphere in the early nineteenth century.
