Thompson drew parallels between socialist hopes and disappointments of his own day and the reactions of the early romantic poets to the failed promise of the French Revolution. This article charts the trajectory of the early Romantics as they moved from political engagement to retreat, and relates this trajectory to Thompson's own politics. Thompson discerned a pattern whereby intellectuals and artists moved through stages from political engagement to disenchantment and then to “apostasy†​ or default. 12 Coleridge to Southey, 21 October 1794, in The Collected Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ed. See also Thompson, Judith, John Thelwall in the Wordsworth Circle: The Silenced Partner (New York, 2012)CrossRef Google Scholar, chap. 11. 46.
