"Romantic Diasporas "examines""exile in the Romantic period from
the different perspectives of French emigres in England, British
convicts transported to Australia, and Jews in their perennial
diaspora.
Romanticism on the Road challenges critical orthodoxy by arguing
that Wordsworth rejected the political dogmas of his age. Refusing
to ally with either radicals or conservatives after the French
Revolution, the poet seizes on vagrants to attack the binary
thinking dominating public affairs and to question the value of the
Georgian domestic ideal. Drawing on current and historical
discussions of homelessness, the study offers a cultural history of
vagrancy and explains why Wordsworth chose the homeless to bear his
message.
