About the Book

Exploring how the concept of the imagination is figured in principal texts of English Romanticism, this book argues that this figuring is an ideological activity that reveals a deep social and political investment. The author examines Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats, and shows how their legacy of ideology and imagination is reflected in the novels of George Eliot. For these writers, the imagination is neither a faculty that can be presumed nor one idea among others; it must be theorized and, in Coleridge's words, 'instituted'. The author undertakes a critical reconsideration of the articulations between Marxism and deconstruction, countervailing the present historicist mood in Romantic studies and arguing that we can only begin to understand the meaning and nature of ideology by returning to its implication with the imagination in Romantic texts themselves.

Review :
"Pyle makes Romanticism interesting all over again... His provocative rereading of five major authors demonstrates that we can learn something very important about nineteenth-century social theory - and particularly the role of ideology - from Romantic representations of the imagination." - Nancy Armstrong, Brown University "Perceptive close reading of Coleridge's Biographia Literaria and other works, Wordsworth's Prelude, Shelley's Triumph of Life, Keats's Fall of Hyperion, and George Eliot's Adam Bede and The Mill on the Floss." - The Wordsworth Circle "Engrossing... Intensely interesting readings abound in this book." - Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 "Pyle is especially good at teasing out the chiasmic relations of the literary and the real." - The Byron Journal
