- Summary:
- In this revisionist account of romantic-era poetry and language philosophy, Tristram Wolff recovers vibrant ways of thinking language and nature together. Wolff argues that well-known writers including Phillis Wheatley Peters, William Blake, William Wordsworth, and Henry David Thoreau offer a radical chronopolitics in reaction to the 'uprooted word,' or the formal analytic used to classify languages in progressive time according to a primitivist timeline of history and a hierarchy of civilization.
