Mellor provides a unified lens through which to view the most prominent of the British Romantic poets. She looks at many of their poems, and dissects them, sometimes against the political and cultural themes of the time. Of the poets, perhaps the most interesting in her account is Carlyle. He is possibly remembered today more as a historian than a poet, with his seminal French Revolution text, written while those events were still in living memory. Against his political ideals and philosophy, Mellor puts his poems. Useful, for they also are shown to imbue his beliefs, albeit maybe not as clearly as his historical writings.
