註釋

Poetry, once despaired W.H.Auden, makes nothing happen. That, however, is a modern condition, argues William Dowling, for in the 18th century poets helped topple corrupt governments and fuel revolutions. In this work on the creation and early days of the American republic, Dowling revives the literary and intellectual atmosphere of the period by examining major works of four early American poets of the circle known as the Connecticut Wits and their British forerunners.
