Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-271) and index.
Contents Romanticism's knowing ways -- From artistic to epistemic creation: the eighteenth century -- Charm of logic: Wordsworth's prose -- Dry romance: Hazlitt's immanent idealism -- Coleridge and the new foundationalism -- End of knowledge: Coleridge and theosophy -- Conclusion: life without knowledge.
Summary This ambitious study sheds new light on the way in which the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy.
