After decades of neglect, Southey's centrality to Romantic period culture is at last being recognized. Bolton's study draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary materials to consider the impact of his work upon nineteenth-century views of empire. She situates Southey's histories, biographies, journalism and epic poetry within their historical and geographical contexts to argue that his widely transmitted views on leadership, duty and global responsibility constituted a moral imperialism that formed Victorian values.Enlightenment world.RomanticismEnglandHistory19th centuryGreat BritainColoniesIn literatureRomanticismHistory821.7Bolton Carol1490142UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910778271303321Writing the empire3711315UNINA
