The Romantic age in Britain formed one of the most celebrated--and
heterogeneous--moments in literary history, but it also witnessed
the rise of "political economy" as the pre-eminent
nineteenth-century science of society. Romanticism, Economics and
the Question of 'Culture' investigates this historical conjunction,
and reassesses the idea that the Romantic defense of spiritual and
humanistic "culture" developed as a reaction to the
individualistic, philistine values of the "dismal science."
Drawing on a wide range of source material, the book combines the
methods of literary scholarship and intellectual history. It
addresses the changing political identifications of familiar
literary figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Shelley, but
also illuminates the wider political and intellectual life of this
period.
Romanticism, Economics and the Question of 'Culture' situates
canonical Romantic writers within a nuanced, and highly detailed
ideological context, while challenging our inherited understanding
of the Romantic tradition itself as the social conscience of
nineteenth-century capitalism.
