Politics of Nature: William Wordsworth and Some Contemporaries

FROM THE PUBLISHER

When the French Revolution went wrong, how did English Jacobins like William Wordsworth respond? Taking into account recent developments in historical and ecological criticism, and incorporating fresh research into poetry and politics in the 1790s, the second edition of The Politics of Nature enlarges and updates Nicholas Roe's acclaimed study of Romantic responses to revolutionary defeat. There is new material on William Wordsworth's radical years, and among his contemporaries hitherto marginal figures like George Dyer and John Bonney are restored to prominence. The poetry and politics of Pantisocracy in Robert Southey and Charlotte Smith are revealed for the first time. At the centre of the book are two full texts from the revolutionary decade: the diary kept by John Bonny while imprisoned on a treason charge in the Tower of London, and John Thelwall's extraordinary Essay on Animal Vitality, a tour de force bringing radical science into explosive contact with revolutionary politics.
