Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century writers framed poetry as a window into the mind's original, underlying structures of thought and feeling. While that Romantic argument helped forge a well-known relationship between poetry and introspective or private consciousness, Savarese argues that it also made poetry the staging ground for a more surprising set of debates about the naturally social mind. From James Macpherson's forgeries of ancient Scottish poetry to Wordsworth's and Coleridge's \u003ci\u003eLyrical Ballads, \u003c\/i\u003epoets mined traditional literatures and recent scientific conjectures to produce alternate histories of cognition, histories that variously emphasized the impersonal, the intersubjective, and the collective. By bringing together poetics, philosophy of mind, and the physiology of embodied experience-and with major studies of James Macpherson, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Wordsworth, and Walter Scott-\u003ci\u003eRomanticism's Other Minds\u003c\/i\u003e recovers the interdisciplinary conversations at the heart of Romantic-era literary theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Savarese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814214509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814214503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"John Savarese","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942537658623,"sku":"9780814214503","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c6413bb4-1aff-4952-91c4-d29feb5b3b7d.jpg?v=1681492946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romanticisms-other-minds-john-savarese-9780814214503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
