It also highlights the coast’s dual role as infrastructure and metaphor in sh…

Swinburne reads Keats
Keats and Swinburne loom large as purveyors of the “aesthetic” in its early and late nineteenth-century forms—that is, as a discourse of subject-formation through the exercise of tasteful distinction and as a self-referential discourse of art for art’s sake, respectively.

Like their colleagues in eighteenth‐century and Victorian studies, Romanticists in the 1980s and 90s assumed the structural homology between money and language derived…
