This essay considers the risks of this conflation and the critical investments it protects. First, I discuss how and why some scholars are liable to skip over the task of considering the extent of Romanticism’s racism. Next, I relate my experience teaching an upper-level undergraduate course titled “Race-Making and Romanticism,” in which we explored how Romantic literature registered and participated in the early nineteenth-century project of forging whiteness and consolidating logics of anti-Blackness. Finally, I reflect on how my approach to antiracist work is a function of my position as a white cis male, suggesting that those of us in the position of whiteness would do well to consider our attachment to Romantic authors and texts as a structural relation that exceeds the dynamics of identification and disavowal.}, number={2}, journal={EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION}, author={Schey, Taylor}, year={2024}, month={Apr}, pages={337–345} }

This essay argues that the conceptual development of political hope functioned as a technology of racialization. Drawing attention to how hope’s theological opposite, despair, had become synonymous with racial slavery in the late eighteenth-century British political imagination, it unpacks the figural logic of “black despair” and shows how this logic subtends the Romantic conception of political hope as a hereditary right of the white liberal subject.}, number={2}, journal={EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY FICTION}, author={Schey, Taylor}, year={2024}, month={Apr}, pages={293–297} }
