It is often suggested that the great first generation of Romantics, after the first flush of their revolutionary enthusiasm, 'sold out' to the forces of conservatism and reaction. This book starts from the thesis that the ideas of Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey did always contain powerful radical and reformist implications that set the tone of liberal and left-wing discussion for several generations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe message of the French Revolution and Wordsworth's youthful enthusiasm continued to imbue the thought of Carlyle, and his disciples Ruskin and Kingsley, and its characteristic articulations are still visible in later socialists such as Keir Hardie and Blatchford. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thoughtful book not only shows how surprising are the original roots of some great socialist thinkers, but also argues for a strong continuity in the English tradition of political thought from the 1780s to the early years of the twentieth century. Both students of politics and of literature and Victorian ideas will be stimulated by \u003ci\u003eThe Romantic Tradition in British Political Thought\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51785753329952,"sku":"9780367247843","price":80.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5cd74b1141c31087f05b6606b28f62d4.webp?v=1780619998","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-romantic-tradition-in-british-political-thought-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
