Bøger i Routledge Studies in Romanticism serien

This volume offers new perspectives on the relationship between Romanticism and philosophy. Essays visit literary writing as a form of thinking, investigating how Romantic literature engages with European thought, from 18th- and 19th-C philosophy to contemporary theory. Chapters read Romantic texts both as critical responses to the debates that have shaped the history of philosophy, and as thought experiments in their own right. They examine the poetic philosophy of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Shelley, Keats and Clare, also considering other literary genres as philosophically significant. This book challenges our understanding not only of Romanticism, but of `literature¿ and `philosophy.¿

This book is therefore an important reference for scholars of Romantic studies, American studies, historical pedagogy and education.
