With special attention to the Romantic poets from Wordsworth and Coleridge down to Pound and Eliot, distinguished scholar Marion Montgomery explores the disorientation of image and metaphor from reality. The book focuses on the virtues and limits of the intuitive intellect as they are explicated by Thomas Aquinas in relational intellect, and the 'Romantic' poet's dependence upon the intuitive and rational modes of intellectual action, two species of 'romanticism' centering in presumptuous autonomy emerge: that of the poet and that of the scientist.

Romantic poets and their heirs sing in philosophical twilight, addressing issues of being and knowing while almost ignorant of the guidance available to them in the thought of Aristotle and Aquinas. Montgomery in considerable measure recovers the wisdom of pre-Kantian naturalism and with it a vantage from which to assess Wordsworth, Keats, Hopkins, Eliot, and Stevens, each measured by their attempt to regain the basis of poetic analogy in actual, extramental beingggg
