Inhaltsangabe

Exploring how the concept of the imagination is figured in some principal texts of English Romanticism, this book convincingly argues that this figuring is a deeply ideological activity which reveals important social and political investments. By attending to the textual figures of the imagination, the book sheds critical light not only on Romanticism but on the very workings of ideology.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“Pyle makes Romanticism interesting all over again. . . . His provocative rereading of five major authors demonstrates that we can learn something very important about nineteenth-century social theory—and particularly the role of ideology—from Romantic representations of the imagination.”—Nancy Armstrong, Brown University
“Perceptive close reading of Coleridge’s Biographia Literaria and other works, Wordsworth’s Prelude, Shelley’s Triumph of Life, Keats’s Fall of Hyperion, and George Eliot’s Adam Bede and The Mill on the Floss.”—The Wordsworth Circle
