- Summary
- The author concentrates his analysis on two related themes. The first, the politics of pastoral, analyzes the use of this genre by established writers such as Wordsworth and Janet Austen, and poets such as John Clare and Robert Bloomfield. His second theme, the theatre of politics, introduces the reader to some of the main polical events of the period which concludes with an analysis of Shelley's political writings and a discussion of Byron's political aspirations.
