This book argues that the term 'Romanticism' should be more
culturally-inclusive, recognizing the importance of scientific and
medical ideas that helped shape some of the key concepts of the
period, such as natural rights, the creative imagination and the
sublime. The book discusses a range of authors including Joanna
Baillie, Edmund Burke, Erasmus Darwin, William Godwin, Joseph
Priestly, Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft. Chapters look at
these figures from a new perspective, using their journal articles,
diaries, manuscript notebooks and poetry, as well as unpublished
letters. Humphry Davy is given particular attention and his poetry
and chemistry are explored as central to Romantic efforts in both
poetry and science.
