In contrast to traditional accounts, John Whale locates the Romantic imagination within the period's lively and often antagonistic polemics on aesthetics and politics. In particular he focuses on the different versions of imagination produced within British writing in response to the cultural crises of the French Revolution and the ideology of utilitarianism. Through detailed analysis of key texts by Burke, Paine, Wollstonecraft, Bentham, Hazlitt, Cobbett and Coleridge, Imagination under Pressure seeks to restore the role of imagination as a more positive force within cultural critique. The book concludes with a chapter on the afterlife of the Coleridgean imagination in the work of John Stuart Mill and I. A. Richards. As a whole it represents a timely and inventive contribution to the ongoing redefinition of Romantic literary and political culture. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Romanticism ;$v39. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitical science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitical science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aUtilitarianism$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aAesthetics, British 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aUtilitarianism$xHistory. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aAesthetics, British. 676 $a820.9/358 700 $aWhale$b John C$0450818 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822768303321 996 $aImagination under pressure, 1789-1832$93974719 997 $aUNINA
