Anxieties about decline were a prominent feature of British public
discourse in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
These anxieties were borne out repeatedly in books and periodicals,
pamphlets and poems. Tracing the reciprocal development of
Romantic-era Britain's rapidly expanding literary and market
cultures through the lens of decline, Jonathan Sachs offers a fresh
way of understanding British Romanticism. The book focuses on three
aspects of literary experience - questions of value, the
fascination with ruins, and the representation of slow time - to
explore how shifting conceptions of progress and change inform a
post-enlightenment sense of cultural decline. Combining close
readings of Romantic literary texts with an examination of works
from political economy, historical writing, classical studies, and
media history the book reveals for the first time how anxieties
about decline impacted literary form and shaped Romantic debates
about poetry and the meaning of literature.
