Bog beskrivelse
This book explores how Romanticism was shaped by practices of popular magic.  It seeks to identify the place of occult activity and culture - in the form of curses, spells, future-telling, charms and protective talismans - in everyday life, together with the ways in which such practice figures, and is refigured, in literary and political discourse at a time of revolutionary upheaval.  What emerges is a new perspective on literature''s material contexts in the 1790s - from the rhetorical, linguistic and visual jugglery of the revolution controversy, to John Thelwall''s occult turn during a period of autobiographical self-reinvention at the end of the decade.  From Wordsworth''s deployment of popular magic as a socially and politically emancipatory agent in Lyrical Ballads, to Coleridge''s anxious engagement with superstition as a despotic system of ''mental enslavement'', and Robert Southey''s wrestling with an (increasingly alluring) conservatism he associated with a reliance on ultimately incarcerating systems of superstition.
