British Romanticism and the Critique of Political Reason
Timothy Michael's British Romanticism and the Critique of Political Reason examines how British Romantic writers grappled with the Enlightenment's legacy, particularly the French Revolution's impact. The book analyzes the concept of "political knowledge," its contested nature, and its relationship to reason, freedom, and power. Michael explores key figures like Burke, Wollstonecraft, Godwin, Wordsworth, and Shelley, tracing their evolving views on reason's role in politics and its limitations. He uses rhetorical analysis and close readings of literary and philosophical texts to show how Romantic writers engaged with—and critiqued—political rationalism. The book ultimately argues that Romanticism represents a reconsideration and refinement of Enlightenment thought in response to revolutionary violence and its aftermath.
