In 1811 England was on the brink of economic collapse and
revolution. The veteran poet and campaigner Anna Letitia Barbauld
published a prophecy of the British nation reduced to ruins by its
refusal to end the interminable war with France, titled Eighteen
Hundred and Eleven. Combining ground-breaking historical research
with incisive textual analysis, this new study dispels the myth
surrounding the hostile reception of the poem and takes a striking
episode in Romantic-era culture as the basis for exploring poetry
as a medium of political protest. Clery examines the issues at
stake, from the nature of patriotism to the threat to public
credit, and throws new light on the views and activities of a wide
range of writers, including radical, loyalist and dissenting
journalists, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, and Barbauld herself.
Putting a woman writer at the centre of the enquiry opens up a
revised perspective on the politics of Romanticism.
