Mark L. Barr

Romanticism and the Rule of Law (eBook, PDF)

Coleridge, Blake, and the Autonomous Reader

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book frames British Romanticism as the artistic counterpart to a revolution in subjectivity occasioned by the rise of "The Rule of Law" and as a traumatic response to the challenges mounted against that ideal after the French Revolution. The bulk of this study focuses on Romantic literary replies to these events (primarily in the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Blake), but its latter stages also explore how Romantic poetry's construction of the autonomous reading subject continues to influence legal and literary critical reactions to two modern crises in the rule of law: European Fascism and the continuing instability of legal interpretive strategy.

Rezensionen

"Barr has succeeded in producing an effective piece of scholarship, giving a lively account of the legal issues of the day, and developing an ingenious, thought-provoking approach to the intersections between law and cultural production. ... Barr has established his place in this field, and anyone who wants to work in 'Romanticism and law' will have to engage with this account one way or another. I look forward to any future work from this scholar ... ." (Richard Ian Berkeley, The Coleridge Bulletin, Vol. 62, 2023)
