Traditionally, critics have seen the Romantics as imaginative geniuses and viewed the supposedly less imaginative character of their late work as evidence of declining abilities. Frey argues, in contrast, that late Romanticism offers an alternative aesthetic model that adjusts authorship to work within an expanding and bureaucratizing state. She examines how Wordsworth, Coleridge, Austen, Scott, and De Quincey portray specific state and imperial agencies to debate what constituted government power, through what means government penetrated individual lives, and how non-governmental figures could assume government authority. Defining their work as part of an expanding state, these writers also reworked Romantic structures such as the imagination, organic form, and the literary sublime to operate through state agencies and to convey membership in a nation. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and state$zGreat Britain 606 $aNationalism and literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and state 615 0$aNationalism and literature 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a820.9/35841 700 $aFrey$b Anne$f1972-$01055685 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459330903321 996 $aBritish state romanticism$92489271 997 $aUNINA
