Following the American War of Independence and the French
Revolution, ideas of the 'Natural Rights of Man' (later
distinguished into particular issues like rights of association,
rights of women, slaves, children and animals) were publicly
debated in England. Literary figures like Wollstonecraft, Godwin,
Thelwall, Blake and Wordsworth reflected these struggles in their
poetry and fiction. With the seminal influences of John Locke and
Rousseau, these and many other writers laid for high Romantic
Literature foundations that were not so much aesthetic as moral and
political. This new study by R.S. White provides a reinterpretation
of the Enlightenment as it is currently understood.
