Examining English Romanticism through a sociological lens, this book explores how Wordsworth and Coleridge engaged with social organization and interaction in their poetry. It highlights their contributions and how later poets like Byron, Shelley, and Keats adapted these ideas. Additionally, the author situates "poetic" sociology within the intellectual landscape of the Romantic era, contrasting it with the later establishment of "scientific" sociology. This work presents a fresh perspective on the Romantic poets as socially conscious thinkers and proposes a new area for scholarly exploration.
