The Romantics lived through a turn of the century that, like our
own, seemed to mark an end to history as it had long been
understood. They faced accelerated change, including unprecedented
state power, armies capable of mass destruction, a polyglot
imperial system, and a market economy driven by speculation. In
"Romanticism at the End of History," Jerome Christensen challenges
the prevailing belief that the Romantics were reluctant to respond
to social injustice. Through provocative and searching readings of
the poetry of Wordsworth; the poems, criticism, and journalism of
Coleridge; the "Confessions" of De Quincey; and Sir Walter Scott's
"Waverley," Christensen concludes that during complicated times of
war and revolution English Romantic writers were forced to redefine
their role as artists.
