There has recently been a resurgence of interest in the importance
of the emotions in Romantic literature and thought. This
collection, the first to stress the centrality of the emotions to
Romanticism, addresses a complex range of issues including the
relation of affect to figuration and knowing, emotions and the
discipline of knowledge, the motivational powers of emotion, and
emotions as a shared ground of meaning. Contributors offer
significant new insights on the ways in which a wide range of
Romantic writers, including Jane Austen, William Wordsworth,
Immanuel Kant, Lord Byron, Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas De
Quincey and Adam Smith, worried about the emotions as a register of
human experience. Though varied in scope, the essays are united by
the argument that the current affective and emotional turn in the
humanities benefits from a Romantic scepticism about the relations
between language, emotion and agency.
