'A nourishing, occasionally provoking hybrid of group biography,
cultural criticism and travelogue that seeks to restore to
Romanticism its radicalism, and also show just how much the
countryside shaped its manifesto' Hephzibah Anderson, Mail on
Sunday '"Romanticism isn't a cultural artefact," [Sampson] writes.
"It's a way for thought to move." She is taking her own mind for a
walk and [...] the essence is intellectual and fully freighted. The
cast list is long and international and the method shifting, subtle
and demanding' Adam Nicolson, Guardian For the Romantics, the
countryside was a place of radical change. But those real life
experiences have been overlaid by two centuries of cliché. To
rediscover - and learn from - their radicalism we need to find a
fresh approach. In this extraordinary hybrid of scholarship,
biography, cultural history, travelogue and lifewriting, acclaimed
poet and Romantic biographer Fiona Sampson does just that. As she
walks the British countryside, from the Isle of Wight to Kintyre,
her evocative and thought-provoking book helps us see clearly
what's hiding in plain sight.
