This chapter focuses on James Humphreys, the publisher of the 1802 Philadelphia edition of Lyrical Ballads , and examines many aspects of the text itself, such as the book’s material form, price, date and place of issue. It considers how Humphreys’ involvement in the American Revolution affected the political charge of the poems and how he used the Ballads and other works published by his press to critique and alter the course of the new nation. Humphreys was as concerned with people being disenfranchised during Jefferson’s tenure as president as Wordsworth and Coleridge were with people being disenfranchised during George III’s reign as king.
