Book Description
This study includes much new information on Thomas De Quincey and his critical engagement with Coleridge, Wordsworth, Burke, Kant and others. The author subtly and convincingly brings overlooked dimensions of De Quincey�2s politics to the fore, and examines essays often ignored. The impressive reading of the Liverpool circle and the 1803 Diary should lead to reassessments of this period in De Quincey�2s development.





Revisionary Gleam: De Quincey, Coleridge and the High Romantic Argument

SYNOPSIS

Demonstrating the persistence of a profoundly compromised politics within his work despite the Opium-Eater's avowed Toryism, Roberts (English, Queen's U., Belfast) seeks to revise radically the understanding of Thomas De Quincey's (1785-2859) literary career. He unearths some neglected dimensions of the essayist and literary critic's early politics, examines some of his neglected work, and looks closer at his relationship with contemporaries to present a fresh interpretation of his oeuvre.
