Earticle

The Romantic period saw the outbreak of the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary War. Those two important historical events led British radicals to confront the conservatives about the implications of the Revolution and social / political justice. Edmund Burke's pamphlet, Reflections on the Revolution in France, became the target of the radicals’ bitter criticism. In other words, contemporary political discourses were centered on Burke’s Reflections. In this article I would like to focus on the famous phrase in the Reflections, “a swinish multitude,” which stimulated the British radicals enormously and led them to compose various pamphlets. Due to the provoking concept, Burke was attacked both in prose and verse. I also would like to read John Aitken’s poem The Swinish Multitude's Push for Reform: A Poem in Three Cantos, which is an elaborate criticism of the phrase, the “swinish multitude.”
