Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780–1830 - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism
Priestman, Martin (Roehampton Institute, London)
Exploring links between Romanticism and the first burst of outspoken atheism in Britain, Priestman examines the major Romantic poets in their most intellectually radical periods, and many contemporary poet-intellectuals and controversialists. Above all, he conveys Romantic atheism's excitement and dramatic appeal to new developments in politics, science and comparative mythology.
