More about the book
By integrating sociological theory with literary analysis, the book explores how Wordsworth and Coleridge examined social organization through their poetry. It evaluates their contributions while highlighting how Byron, Shelley, and Keats adapted these ideas. Additionally, the author situates "poetic" sociology within the intellectual landscape of the Romantic era, contrasting it with the later establishment of "scientific" sociology, thereby challenging conventional views in both fields.
