This is a theoretical study of the ways in which the major Romantic poets, Keats, Shelley and Coleridge, should not be thought of only as idealists within the conventional Romantic tradition, but as pragmatists, writing in the context of developments in linguistic empiricism.

This 2003 study sheds light on the way in which the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge. Milnes argues that it is in their oscillation between knowledge and indifference that the Romantics prefigure the ambivalent negotiations of modern post-analytic philosophy.
