Romantic Fiat: Demystification and Enchantment in Lyric Poetry

by Eric Reid Lindstrom

Book Overview

In the Romantic period's economics of 'fiat' money the legacy of romanticism involves absolutist gestures of verbal fiat. Focused on William Wordsworth, but in constant range of his poet-successors and modern critics, Romantic Fiat presents an argument for a double romantic signature of 'let there be' and 'let be.'
