Drugs and the Addiction Aesthetic in Nineteenth-Century Literature focuses especially on formal invention-on the uses of literary patterns for intensified, exploratory engagement with unattained possibility-resulting from literary intersections with addiction discourse. Early chapters consider how Romantics such as Thomas De Quincey created, with regard to drug habit, an idea of habitual craving that related to self-experimenting science and literary exploration; later chapters look at Victorians who drew from similar understandings while devising narratives of repetitive investigation. The authors considered include De Quincey, Percy Shelley, Alfred Tennyson, Christina Rossetti, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Marie Corelli. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,$x2634-6443 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aEuropean Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a820.8008 676 $a820.93556 700 $aColman$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226079 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483942603321 996 $aDrugs and the Addiction Aesthetic in Nineteenth-Century Literature$92846708 997 $aUNINA
