In this provocative and original study, Alan Richardson examines an
entire range of intellectual, cultural, and ideological points of
contact between British Romantic literary writing and the
pioneering brain science of the time. 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.
