Stanley Cavell and English Romanticism serves as both introduction
to Cavell for Romanticists, and to the larger question of what
philosophy means for the reading of literature, as well as to the
importance and relevance of Romantic literature to Cavell's
thought. Illustrated through close readings of Wordsworth and
Shelley, and extended discussions of Emerson and Thoreau as well as
Cavell, Duffy proposes a Romanticism of persisting cultural
relevance and truly trans-Atlantic scope. The turn to romanticism
of America's most distinguished "ordinary-language" philosopher is
shown to be tied to the neo-Romantic claim that far from being
merely an illustrator of the truths discovered by philosophy,
poetry is its equal partner in the instituting of knowledge. This
book will be vital reading for anyone interested in Romanticism,
Stanley Cavell and the ever-deepening connections between
literature and philosophy.
