"In 1811 England was on the brink of economic collapse and revolution. The veteran
poet and campaigner Anna Letitia Barbauld published a prophecy of the British nation
reduced to ruins by its refusal to end the interminable war with France, titled Eighteen
Hundred and Eleven. Combining ground-breaking historical research with incisive textual
analysis, this new study dispels the myth surrounding the hostile reception of the
poem and takes a striking episode in Romantic-era culture as the basis for exploring
poetry as a medium of political protest. Clery examines the issues at stake, from
the nature of patriotism to the threat to public credit, and throws new light on the
views and activities of a wide range of writers, including radical, loyalist and dissenting
journalists, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Southey, and Barbauld herself. Putting a woman
writer at the centre of the enquiry opens up a revised perspective on the politics
of Romanticism"
