Tim Fulford examines landscape description in the writings of Thomson, Cowper, Johnson, Gilpin, Repton, Wordsworth, Coleridge and others, revealing tensions that arose as writers struggled for authority over the public sphere and sought to redefine the nature of that authority. In his investigation of poetry and political and aesthetic writing, Dr Fulford throws light on the legacy of Commonwealth and Country-party ideas of liberty. Also discussed are the significance of the Miltonic sublime, the politics of the picturesque and the post-colonial encounter of the Scottish tour. Dr Fulford goes on to show how the early radicalism and later conservatism of Wordsworth and Coleridge were shaped, in part, by eighteenth-century literary political and literary authorities. His study offers an understanding of literary and political influence that cuts across conventional periodization, finding new links between the early eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. 410 0$aCambridge studies in eighteenth-century English literature and thought ;$v30. 517 3 $aLandscape, Liberty & Authority 606 $aEnglish poetry$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLandscapes in literature 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical poetry, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDescription (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPicturesque, The, in literature 606 $aAuthority in literature 606 $aLiberty in literature 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical poetry, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDescription (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aPicturesque, The, in literature. 615 0$aAuthority in literature. 615 0$aLiberty in literature. 676 $a821/.50936 700 $aFulford$b Tim$f1962-$0763408 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248126203316 996 $aLandscape, liberty, and authority$92300451 997 $aUNISA
