Work on British Romanticism is often characterised as much by its
conscious difference from preceding positions as it is by its
approach to or choice of material. As a result, writing neglected
or marginalised in one account will be restored to prominence in
another, as we reconstruct the past as a history of the present.
This collection of essays takes as its starting point the
wide-ranging work of Marilyn Butler on Romantic literature, and
includes contributions by some of the most prominent scholars of
Romanticism working today. The essays offer interesting
perspectives on Maria Edgeworth, Coleridge, Austen, Scott and
others, showing that the openness of modern critical perceptions
matches and reflects the diversity of the literature and culture of
the Romantic period itself.
Historicism is the essential introduction to this crucial concept in literary studies. This edition has been fully revised and includes a new glossary of critical terms, fully updated bibliography, clear suggestions for additional reading, as well as new discussion of Historicism's relation to the globalization debate. Historicism: *explains the theory and practice of historicism *presents the history of the term and its uses *introduces key thinkers in the field, from ancient Greece to the present *considers historicism in relation to contemporary debates, such as post-colonialism, feminism and globalization. This compact, yet comprehensive guide enables students to understand and apply historicist approaches in their own studies.
Exploring the experiments in individual and national
self-consciousness conducted during the Romantic period, this
essential comparative study of European literature, philosophy and
politics makes original and often surprising connections and
contrasts to reveal how personal and social identities were
re-orientated and disorientated from the French Revolution onwards.
Reviving a contested moment in the history of aesthetic theory,
this study shows how the growing awareness of irresolution in
Kant's third Kritik allowed Romantic writers to put the aesthetic
to radical uses not envisaged by its parent philosophy. It also
recounts how they would go on to force philosophy to revise
received notions of authority, empowering women and subordinated
ethnic groups to re-orientate existing hierarchies. The sheer range
and variety of writers covered is testament both to the breadth of
writing that Kant's philosophy so rashly legitimated and to the
wider importance of philosophy to the understanding of Romantic
literature.

Blood Tests Made Easy is a quick reference guide designed to bring
medical students up to speed when interpreting blood tests on their
clinical placements. Small enough to be carried and quickly
referenced on the go, this book covers everything you need to know
when interpreting bloods, including the main abnormalities you are
likely to encounter. Rather than focusing on theory or physiology,
it is designed to provide an easy-to-follow guide to support
clinical decision making. This latest addition to the Made Easy
series will fill knowledge gaps on blood test interpretation,
becoming a valuable asset both for medical students and, later, as
a reference guide to increase junior doctors' confidence on the
wards. Relevant to real life - material laid out like real hospital
laboratory tests Easy to use - information presented in a clear and
accessible format Case studies and multiple-choice questions to aid
revision Portable for easy access on the wards
This book is both a general introduction to and a particular
interpretation of Shelley's thought and major writings. As an
introduction, it stresses his seriousness and sophistication, his
poetic brilliance and intellectual courage. More specifically, its
readings emphasise the materialistic and corporeal orientation of
his work in opposition to a traditional view of him as a Romantic
solipsist, a characterisation some of his own statements seem to
invite. Fundamentally Shelley is understood here as a vanguard,
revolutionary figure who writes for a better democratic future, but
one which, paradoxically, he fears may threaten the cultural
privilege it took to imagine it. But this pessimism is always the
other side of an openness to new associations which continually
reform both private and political life, relationship and
citizenship.
Paul Hamilton here redefines romanticism in terms of its
philosophical habits of self-consciousness. According to Hamilton,
metaromanticism, or the ways in which writers of the romantic
period generalized their own practices, was fundamentally
characteristic of the romantic project itself. Through bracing
analyses of the aesthetics of Friedrich Schiller and Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, and key works by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy and Mary
Shelley, John Keats, Sir Walter Scott, and Jane Austen, Hamilton
shows how the romantic movement's struggle with its own tenets was
not an effort to seek an alternative way of thought, but instead a
way of becoming what it already was. And yet, as Hamilton reveals,
the romanticists were still not content with their own
self-consciousness. Pushed to the limits, such contemplation either
manifested itself as self-disgust or forced romanticists to search
for a discourse outside of aesthetics. Adding greater clarity to
our understanding of romanticism and shedding much-needed light on
the commerce between English writers and philosophers in Germany
and France, this study should be valuable to students of
literature, aesthetics and critical theory.
