“The Past Jumps Up: Southey, Wordsworth, and the Radical Press”
Wednesday, February 8 at 4:30 PM
Park Hall, Room 265
Casie LeGette, a candidate for the Romantic Poetry position, argues that by re-circulating the literature of the 1790s, radical editors and publishers constructed a powerful alternative history of nineteenth-century Britain. By the 1830s, Robert Southey and William Wordsworth were public conservatives, apostates known for abandoning their early enthusiasm for the French Revolution. But the radical journals of the 30s and 40s blithely ignored the contemporary politics of Wordsworth and Southey, reprinting only their more radical early work and treating them both as lifelong radical poets. In an act of sheer political will, and in the face of much evidence to the contrary, nineteenth-century radicals created their own versions of Wordsworth and Southey, and actively co-opted their poetry for their own political ends. This talk demonstrates that the re-circulation of literary texts can be a surprisingly effective means of rewriting history and of advancing political movements. By reprinting the literature of the recent past, the radical editors of the nineteenth century transformed lost causes into utopian politics.
