For in the decades before the new science of psychology transformed the soul into the psyche, poets claimed the spiritual well-being of the body politic as their special moral responsibility. Exploiting the rich aesthetic potential of language, they created poetry with striking sensory appeal to make their readers experience the complex effects of political decisions on public spirit.  Within contexts such as Risorgimento Italy, Civil War America, and Second Empire France, these poets spoke from their souls to the souls of their readers to reveal insights that eluded the prosaic forms of fiction, essay, and journalism. 000782314 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000782314 650_0 $$aEnglish fiction$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000782314 650_0 $$aPolitical fiction, English$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000782314 650_0 $$aPolitics and literature$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000782314 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319525050$$z9783319525051$$w(OCoLC)966593961 000782314 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in nineteenth-century writing and culture. 000782314 852__ $$bebk 000782314 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-52506-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000782314 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:782314$$pGLOBAL_SET 000782314 980__ $$aEBOOK 000782314 980__ $$aBIB 000782314 982__ $$aEbook 000782314 983__ $$aOnline 000782314 994__ $$a92$$bISE
