- Summary:
- "Wordsworth, Hemans, and Politics, 1800-1830 : Romantic Crises is a study of the political lives of William Wordsworth and Felicia Hemans between 1800 and 1830. Tracing trajectories from the first decade of the nineteenth century to the meeting of the two authors in 1830, Benjamin Kim argues that the dominiant paradigm for their political thought was that of "crisis." Obsessed with the mysterious connections between the individual, the home, and the state, Wordsworth and Hemans protrayed all three in a common crisis that would be resolved in the future." -- Dust jacket flap.
