John Keats and the Culture of Dissent

Zusatztext a substantial contribution to the on-going debate about Keats' politics ... Roe's volume convinces one of Keats's secure place in a version of the romantic canon that narrates the complex formation of liberalism. The major scholarly contribution of the book involves the presentation of the world of the Enfield School and the influence of Charles Cowden Clarke on Keats's formation ... Roe is an impressive literary historian ... Roe's contributions to literary history are unmistakable ... I greatly admire Roe's accomplishment in this volume ... He has given us new information about Keats's world and about the overlapping circles of metropolitan sociability in the romantic period. He has shown, by following through the daily to-ings and fro-ings of the chief actors, how permeable were the boundaries between medicine, poetics, and politics. Zusammenfassung Themes of imagination and politics intertwine in this book, which aims to recover the unsettling voices of Keats's poetry, and trace the ways in which his poems responded to and addressed their contemporary world. It researches Keats's early life and the dissenting culture of Enfield School.
