Description

Reading with John Clare argues that at the heart of contemporary biopolitical thinking is an insistent repression of poetry. By returning to the moment at which biopolitics is said to emerge simultaneously with romanticism, this project renews our understanding of the operations of contemporary politics and its relation to aesthetics across two centuries.Guyer focuses on a single, exemplary case: the poetry and autobiographical writing of the British poet John Clare (1793-1864). Reading Clare in combination with contemporary theories of biopolitics, Guyer reinterprets romanticism's political legacies, specifically the belief that romanticism is a direct precursor to the violent nationalisms and redemptive environmentalisms of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Guyer offers an alternative account of many of romanticism's foundational concepts, like home, genius, creativity, and organicism. She shows that contemporary critical theories of biopolitics, despite repeatedly dismissing the aesthetic or poetic dimensions of power as a culpable ideology, emerge within the same rhetorical tradition as the romanticism they denounce. The book thus compels a rethinking of the biopolitical critique of poetry and an attendant reconsideration of romanticism and its concepts.

Thîs book orîgînated în and drew sustenance rom both înstîtutîons and în-dîvîduas. Whîe the work o wrîtîng happens outsîde o ectures, department meetîngs, cassrooms, amîy vacatîons, trîps to the gym, and dînners that run ate înto the nîght, a o the thîngs that take the pace o wrîtîng seem to have nourîshed ît (and me) în ways that are prooundy dîicut to measure. ï Irst decîded to wrîte about John Care when ï taught a course on “Romantîc Natures” as a postdoctora eow at the Unîversîty o Caîornîa, ïrvîne. Care was not a poet that ï had studîed în the cassroom, but the course—and a memorabe car-rîde conversatîon about Care and prosopo-poeîa wîth my eow commuter Steven Mîer—et me hooked. Thîs book woud not exîst î ï had not had the opportunîty to teach somethîng ï dîd not aready know. At ïrvîne, and then at the Unîversîty o Wîsconsîn–Madîson, my students have been constanty open-mînded and usuay bown away by the experîence o readîng Care. ï want to acknowedge în partîcuar the students în my courses on “Romantîcîsm and the Poetîcs o Homeessness” and “Romantîc Autobîography,” where Care hed a centra pace. My department chaîrs în Madîson, Mîchae Bernard-Donas, Tom Schaub, Theresa Keey, and Caroîne evîne, ofered warm support both persona and proessîona, whîch heped enormousy în the competîon o thîs project. The deans and assocîate deans o the Coege o etters & Scîence, Gary Sandeur, Magdaena Hauner, John Kar Schoz, and Susan Zaeske, a encouraged my înteectua and înstîtutîona projects: ï thank them. ï am grateu to the Wîsconsîn Aumnî Research Foundatîon and the Graduate Schoo o the Unîversîty o Wîsconsîn or învestîng resources înto thîs project. Nancy and Davîd Borghesî, rîends o UW–Madîson who have now become persona rîends too, ofered tremendous support or my research, as dîd the George A. and Eîza Gardner Howard Foundatîon, whîch provîded me the resources to spend a year (ha o ît în Parîs) devoted to competîon o thîs book. The Andrew W. Meon Foundatîon granted me the opportunîty to orga-nîze a John E. Sawyer Semînar on “îe în Past and Present” wîth Rîck Keer. Thîs mîght just have been another dîstractîon rom wrîtîng, but înstead ît turned out to generate new înes o înquîry. ï am thanku to the partîcîpants
