Contest for Cultural Authority: Hazlitt, Coleridge, and the Distresses of the Regency

Front Cover
Wayne State University Press, 1999 - Biography & Autobiography - 205 pages
By taking seriously Hazlitt's own classification of these articles as "political essays," and by relocating them within the turbulent public debates of the late Regency, Robert Keith Lapp discovers in them an indispensable critique of Coleridge's conservative response to the post-Waterloo crisis known as the "Distresses of the Country.""--BOOK JACKET.
