Revolutionary Romanticism draws on almost two centuries of intertwined traditions of cultural and political subversion. In this rich collection of writings by artists, scholars, and revoltutionaries, the transgressions of the past are recaptured and transvalued for the benefit of the struggles of today and tomorrow.

Drunken Boat was the vessel of choice for those bored with chartered cruises and organized day-trips — Russel Jacoby.
