It includes Botticelli's illustrations of "The Divine Comedy", drawn in the 1480s.

The connection proves tantalising, but it would be far too tidy to conclude with a debate between the three. What might enhance Benchimol’s book is what Gilmartin addresses in his recent book, Writing against Revolution: the English anti-revolutionary apparatus whose ideas of obedience and loyalty are propagated in the printing presses of the Cheap Repository to far greater effect than in even Burke’s Reflections. The English urban radicals’ struggle against state censorship has been well documented in other texts. Benchimol contributes important work on the social criticism of the Edinburgh Review, as well as Cobbett’s Political Register – yet Scottish bourgeois individualism and English plebeian radicalism operate in the public sphere in relation to conservative tracts like the Anti-Jacobin and the inexorable output of the Cheap Repository. To engage more fully the parallel lines of Scottish Whigs and English radicals alongside counterrevolutionary authors might ameliorate the sense that one is occasionally reading two books under one cover. Intellectual Politics and Cultural Conflict in the Romantic Period extends theories of the Romantic public sphere into the Scottish Enlightenment and further into English plebeian radicalism. The critical turn that Benchimol considers is as revolutionary as the literature it analyses.
