Romantic Fiat Demystification and Enchantment

In the Romantic period's economics of "fiat" money the legacy of romanticism involves absolutist gestures of verbal fiat. Focused on William Wordsworth, but in constant range of his poet-successors and modern critics,Romantic Fiatpresents an argument for a double romantic signature of "let there be" and "let be."

ERIC REID LINDSTROM is Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the University of Vermont, USA. His publications include articles in Literary Imagination and Studies in Romanticism -- this is his first book.
