      abstract = {Imagined Sovereignties argues that the Romantics  reconceived not just the nature of aesthetic imagination  but also the conditions in which a specific form of  political sovereignty could be realized through  it.Articulating the link between the poetic imagination and  secularized sovereignty requires more than simply replacing  God with the subjective imagination and thereby ratifying  the bourgeois liberal subject. Through close readings of  Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Shelley, the author  elucidates how Romanticism's reassertion of poetic power in  place of the divine sovereign articulates an alternative  understanding of secularization in forms of sovereignty  that are no longer modeled on transcendence, divine or  human.These readings ask us to reexamine not only the  political significance of Romanticism but also its place  within the development of modern politics. Certain aspects  of Romanticism still provide an important resource for  rethinking the limits of the political in our own time.  This book will be a crucial source for those interested in  the political legacy of Romanticism, as well as for anyone  concerned with critical theoretical approaches to politics  in the present.},
