More about the book

The book explores the impact of the American War of Independence and the French Revolution on the discourse surrounding 'Natural Rights of Man' in England. It highlights how literary figures such as Wollstonecraft, Godwin, Thelwall, Blake, and Wordsworth engaged with these themes in their works, influenced by thinkers like John Locke and Rousseau. R.S. White offers a fresh reinterpretation of the Enlightenment, emphasizing its moral and political dimensions rather than merely its aesthetic contributions, thus reshaping the understanding of Romantic Literature.
