Revisionary Gleam [electronic resource] : De Quincey, Coleridge and the High Romantic Argument
Roberts, Daniel Sanjiv.
Liverpool : Liverpool University Press,
2000.
This study includes much new information on Thomas De Quincey and his critical engagement with Coleridge, Wordsworth, Burke, Kant and others. The author subtly and convincingly brings overlooked dimensions of De Quincey's politics to the fore, and examines essays often ignored. The impressive reading of the Liverpool circle and the 1803 Diary should lead to reassessments of this period in De Quincey's development.
