The idea that the inspired poet stands apart from the
marketplace is considered central to British Romanticism. However,
Romantic authors were deeply concerned with how their occupation
might be considered a kind of labour comparable to that of the
traditional professions. In the process of defining their work as
authors, Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge – the 'Lake school' –
aligned themselves with emerging constructions of the 'professional
gentleman' that challenged the vocational practices of late
eighteenth-century British culture. They modelled their idea of
authorship on the learned professions of medicine, church, and law,
which allowed them to imagine a productive relationship to the
marketplace and to adopt the ways eighteenth-century poets had
related their poetry to other kinds of intellectual work. In this
2007 work, Goldberg explores the ideas of professional risk,
evaluation and competition that the writers developed as a response
to a variety of eighteenth-century depictions of the literary
career.
? Departs from the myth of Romantic poets as unworldly to show
how they constructed their own professionalism ? Will be of
interest to scholars of the professions in the eighteenth century
as well as of Romanticism ? Offers distinct readings of Wordsworth,
Coleridge and Southey
