This volume brings together a wide range of scholars to offer new
perspectives on the relationship between Romanticism and
philosophy. The entanglement of Romantic literature with philosophy
is increasingly recognized, just as Romanticism is increasingly
viewed as European and Transatlantic, yet few studies combine these
coordinates and consider the philosophical significance of
distinctly literary questions in British and American Romantic
writings. The essays in this book are concerned with literary
writing as a form of thinking, investigating the many ways in which
Romantic literature across the Atlantic engages with European
thought, from 18th- and 19th-century philosophy to contemporary
theory. The contributors read Romantic texts both as critical
responses to the major debates that have shaped the history of
philosophy, and as thought experiments in their own right. This
volume thus examines anew the poetic philosophy of Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Blake, Shelley, and Clare, also extending beyond poetry
to consider other literary genres as philosophically significant,
such as Jane Austen's novels, De Quincey's autofiction, Edgar Allan
Poe's tales, or Emerson's essays. Grounded in complementary
theoretical backgrounds and reading practices, the various
contributions draw on an impressive array of writers and thinkers
and challenge our understanding not only of Romanticism, but also
of what we have come to think of as "literature" and "philosophy."
