Romantic Empiricism is a timely collection of essays by established
and emerging scholars, which represents a paradigm shift for the
study of British Romanticism. The volume challenges the received
view that German Idealist philosophy constitutes the main
intellectual reference point for British Romantic writers, arguing
instead that the tradition of Scottish Common Sense philosophy,
largely overlooked by literary scholars, is a significant influence
on Romantic thought. The essays in the collection examine a variety
of canonical and non-canonical Romantic authors in the light of
this fresh interpretative context, ranging from Charlotte Smith and
Elizabeth Hamilton to Robert Burns and S.T. Coleridge. The volume
is prefaced by a substantial theoretical introduction, which sets
out the historical and interpretative case for the relevance of
Common Sense philosophy for the study of British Romanticism.
