This book shows that the publishers and editors of the radical
press deployed Romantic-era texts for their own political ends-and
for their largely working-class readership-long after those works'
original publication. It examines how the literature of the British
Romantic period was excerpted and reprinted in radical political
papers in Britain in the nineteenth century. The agents of this
story were bound by neither the chronological march of literary
history, nor by the original form of the literary texts they
reprinted. Godwin's Caleb Williams and poems by Wordsworth,
Southey, Coleridge, and Shelley appear throughout this book as they
appeared in the nineteenth century, in bits and pieces. Radical
publishers and editors carefully and purposefully excerpted the
works of their recent past, excavating useful political claims from
the midst of less amenable texts, and remaking texts and authors
alike in the process.
