Interfused: imagination, faith and reason in Romantic writers
Day conference
Cancelled
Saturday 4 November 2023
Corpus Christi College, Oxford
The early Wordsworth would describe himself in his reflective poem of 1798 Tintern Abbey as a worshipper of Nature, a pantheist in all but name. But is this a fair representation of the wider Romantic movement? Faith was, it seems, a field force in the fusion which here and there conjoined disparate elements into forms of Romanticism.
