A History of Romantic Literature BLACKWELL HISTORIES OF LITERATURE General editor: Peter Brown, University of Kent, Canterbury The books in this series renew and redefine a familiar form by recognizing that to write literary history involves more than placing texts in chronological sequence. Thus the emphasis within each volume falls both on plotting the significant literary developments of a given period, and on the wider cultural contexts within which they occurred. ‘Cultural history’ is construed in broad terms and authors address such issues as politics, society, the arts, ideologies, varieties of literary production and consumption, and dominant genres and modes. The effect of each volume is to give the reader a sense of possessing a crucial sector of literary terrain, of understanding the forces that give a period its distinctive cast, and of seeing how writing of a given period impacts on, and is shaped by, its cultural circumstances.

Wordsworth's Empiricist Poetic and Its Influence in the Twentieth Century
1 Wordsworth’s Empiricist Poetic and its Influence in the Twentieth Century Jeffrey Side SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS THE SCHOOL OF ENGLISH SEPTEMBER 2006 THE CANDIDATE CONFIRMS THAT THE WORK SUBMITTED IS HIS OWN AND THAT APPROPRIATE CREDIT HAS BEEN GIVEN WHERE REFERENCE HAS BEEN MADE TO THE WORK OF OTHERS. THIS COPY HAS BEEN SUPPLIED ON THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS COPYRIGHT MATERIAL AND THAT NO QUOTATION FROM THE THESIS MAY BE PUBLISHED WITHOUT PROPER ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 2 Abstract Wordsworth’s Empiricist Poetic and its Influence in the Twentieth Century This thesis has two connected aims. Firstly, it claims that it is meaningful to describe Wordsworth’s aesthetic, and his beliefs about the subject-object relationship, as substantially empiricist. However, it is not claimed that Wordsworth is consistently empiricist in the way that a philosopher might aspire to be: indeed, there is a place to be found within this argument for the recognition of his transcendentalism. While it is granted that the word “empiricist” is not always used in the most rigorous philosophical sense, the influence of philosophical empiricism on Wordsworth naturally figures in the argument. Secondly, the thesis demonstrates that the continued influence of Wordsworth in the twentieth century has to be understood primarily as the influence of his empiricist aesthetic. The thesis concludes by suggesting that there are wider possibilities for poetry than are encouraged by this aesthetic. The importance of undertaking this project does not lie only in objections to Wordsworth’s theory or practice, but arises also from a consideration of his continuing influence. -

I Revolution (1789–1798) The ‘Revolution Controversy’ The books, pamphlets, and essays written in response, pro and con, to the French Revolution constitute a vehement battle of ideas now called the ‘Revolution Controversy’.1 Leading supporters of the French Revolution were Thomas Paine, William Godwin, and Mary Wollstonecraft. Principle oppo- nents included Edmund Burke, William Windham, Arthur Young, and, through the succession of The Anti‐Jacobin, George Canning, William Gifford, and John Gifford. These alliances crossed party boundaries between Whigs and Tories; or, rather, the shifting alliances caused factional party divisions. After using his influence in the Whig party to rally support of the American Revolutionaries and Catholic emancipation, Burke surprised many of his constituency when he opposed the French Revolution. He thus became a leader of a conservative fac- tion within the Whig Party. The repudiation of the events in France was articu- lated by Burke in Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790). Burke defended the rights of the landed gentry, who saw much to be risked and nothing to be gained in the overthrow of the existing monarchy. Burke represented a strong constituency, but nevertheless only a fraction of a large populace lacking prop- erty and therefore lacking voting rights as well. With Burke representing the ‘Old Whigs’, Charles James Fox was called upon as spokesperson for the pro‐ revolution ‘New Whigs’. As the violence increased, more of the pro‐revolution faction switched sides. A turning point came early in 1793 with the British declaration of war against France. The first printing of Paine’s Rights of Man (13 March 1791) quickly sold out. -
