The repercussions of the French Revolution included erosion of many
previously held certainties in Britain, as in the rest of Europe.
Even the authority of language as a cornerstone of knowledge was
called into question and the founding principles of intellectual
disciplines challenged, as Romantic writers developed new ways of
expressing their philosophy of the imagination and the human heart.
This 2009 book traces the impact of revolution on language, from
William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, to
William Hazlitt, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. A
leading scholar in Romantic literature and theology, John Beer
offers a persuasive new account of post-revolutionary continuities
between the major Romantic writers and their Victorian successors.
