"Whale's ambitious and engaging study takes advantage of the current 'almost' outmodishness of the imagination. Focusing on the very different responses of British writers to two cultural crises-- the French Revolution and the emergence of Utilitarianism-- he simultaneously offers both a radical reassessment of traditional accounts of 'Romantic Imagination' and also suggests that 'imagination is an inescapable element in cultural critique'.Whale, John C. is the author of 'Imagination Under Pressure, 17891832 Aesthetics, Politics, and Utility' with ISBN 9780521772198 and ISBN 0521772192.
