Transatlantic Radicalism: Can We Remake the World?

3-4 Credits

In the 1790s, anything seemed possible to some writers on both sides of the Atlantic. “The earth was all before me,” Wordsworth wrote. Some novelists envisioned remaking the world, though their efforts to create new societies rarely treated all men and women equally. These progressive efforts, moreover, led other writers to struggle to hold in place a world that they felt was spiraling out of control. Attribute/Distribution: CC, HE, HU, W
