Knowledge and Indifference in English Romantic Prose (Cambridge Studies in Romanticism) Book

This ambitious study sheds new light on the way in which the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge. Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth-century to answer empirical scepticism had produced a culture of 'indifferentism'. Tim Milnes explores the tension between this epistemic indifference and a perpetual compulsion to know. This tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action, and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria.Read More
