Richardson breaks new ground in two fields, revealing a significant and undervalued facet of British Romanticism while demonstrating the 'Romantic' character of early neuroscience. Crucial notions like the active mind, organicism, the unconscious, the fragmented subject, instinct and intuition, arising simultaneously within the literature and psychology of the era, take on unsuspected valences that transform conventional accounts of Romantic cultural history. Neglected issues like the corporeality of mind, the role of non-linguistic communication, and the peculiarly Romantic understanding of cultural universals are reopened in discussions that bring new light to bear on long-standing critical puzzles, from Coleridge's suppression of 'Kubla Khan', to Wordsworth's perplexing theory of poetic language, to Austen's interest in head injury.Cambridge studies in Romanticism ;47.British Romanticism & the Science of the MindEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and scienceGreat BritainHistory19th centuryBrainResearchGreat BritainHistory19th centuryNeurosciencesGreat BritainHistory19th centuryRomanticismGreat BritainMind and body in literaturePsychology in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and scienceHistoryBrainResearchHistoryNeurosciencesHistoryRomanticismMind and body in literature.Psychology in literature.820.9/356Richardson Alan1955-1597830UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910815673603321British Romanticism and the science of the mind3919759UNINA
