First published in 1986. It is often suggested that the great first
generation of Romantics, after the first flush of their
revolutionary enthusiasm, 'sold out' to the forces of conservatism
and reaction. This book starts from the thesis that the ideas of
Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey did always contain powerful
radical and reformist implications that set the tone of liberal and
left-wing discussion for several generations. The message of the
French Revolution and Wordsworth's youthful enthusiasm continued to
imbue the thought of Carlyle, and his disciples Ruskin and
Kingsley, and its characteristic articulations are still visible in
later socialists such as Keir Hardie and Blatchford. This
thoughtful book not only shows how surprising are the original
roots of some great socialist thinkers, but also argues for a
strong continuity in the English tradition of political thought
from the 1780s to the early years of the twentieth century. Both
students of politics and of literature and Victorian ideas will be
stimulated by The Romantic Tradition in British Political Thought.
