Nationalism and irony are two of the most significant developments
of the Romantic period, yet they have not been linked in depth
before now. This study shows how Romantic nationalism in Britain
explored irony's potential as a powerful source of civic cohesion.
The period's leading conservative voices, self-consciously
non-English figures such as Edmund Burke, Walter Scott, and Thomas
Carlyle, accentuated rather than disguised the anomalous character
of Britain's identity, structure, and history. Their irony publicly
fractured while upholding sentimental fictions of national
wholeness. Britain's politics of deference, its reverence for
tradition, and its celebration of productivity all became not only
targets of irony but occasions for its development as a patriotic
institution. This study offers a different view of both Romantic
irony and Romantic nationalism: irony is examined as an outgrowth
of commercial society and as a force that holds together center and
periphery, superiors and subordinates, in the culture of
nationalism.
