The book delves into the interplay between nineteenth-century poetry and liberal philosophy, highlighting how poets like Wordsworth and Browning engage with pressing social and political issues surrounding liberty and law. It examines poetry's role in four key areas of liberalism: the self, academia, marriage, and the nation-state. By asserting poetry's unique ability to voice liberal ideals, the work positions poetic language as a vital tool for exploring and articulating liberal concerns.
