“…The Monthly's miscellaneous quality suited Beddoes's varied output, and it functioned for him, as for others, as 'a medium of conversation and exchange'. 19 But Beddoes's account of the imagination differs from those of many Dissenting writers. He demonstrates much less anxiety about the tendency for imaginative flights to mutate into unregulated enthusiasm than we find in the work of Joseph Priestley or even in Anna Laetitia Barbauld's efforts to 'popularize an affective form of Dissent'.…”

Coleridge's account of the imagination in Biographia Literaria as a phenomenon that functions to 'idealize and to unify' is still highly influential. But Coleridge's contemporaries explored alternative accounts of the phenomenon. For Thomas Beddoes the imagination was a vital stimulus of scientific enquiry and political activism. Beddoes's work demonstrates the extent to which the Romantic literary imagination was informed by investigations in other fields. This essay analyses Beddoes's exploration of the imagination in his scientific, political and medical practice. Beddoes's writings emphasise the importance of imaginative enquiry across all his works, and challenge the regulative effects of disciplinary distinctions.
