TOWNSEND, C., George Berkeley and Romanticism. Ghostly Language. Oxford University Press, 2022. 240p. Hardback. In this book, Townsend argues for a pervasive 'Berkeleian' undercurrent in the major English Romantic canon (p. 17), specifically, the poetry of Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Shelley. In the opening chapter, Townsend offers what he calls an original reading of Berkeley's work (p. 9). He presents the centrality of spirit in Berkeley's ontology and his conception of nature as a divine visual language as key themes that connect Berkeley with the Romantic poets. Each of the remaining four chapters is devoted to one of the four poets.
