Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth century to answer empirical scepticism had produced a culture of 'indifferentism'. Tim Milnes explores the way in which Romantic writers extended this epistemic indifference through their resistance to argumentation, and finds that it exists in a perpetual state of tension with a compulsion to know. This tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Romanticism ;$v55. 517 3 $aKnowledge & Indifference in English Romantic Prose 606 $aEnglish prose literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of, in literature 606 $aApathy in literature 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of, in literature. 615 0$aApathy in literature. 676 $a828/.709384 700 $aMilnes$b Tim$01047681 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450551503321 996 $aKnowledge and indifference in English Romantic prose$92475419 997 $aUNINA
