    Magdalena Ostas deposited Wordsworth, Wittgenstein, and the Reconstruction of the Everyday in the group Group logo of LLC English RomanticLLC English Romantic on MLA Commons 1 year, 8 months ago

    The connection between philosophy and real or everyday language belongs to Wordsworth’s early poetic vision. My interest in Wordsworth’s dialogue with philosophical thinking leads me to turn neither to studies tracing the varied philosophic influences on his poetics nor to those examining the influence of his collaborator Coleridge on his ear…[Read more]

    Magdalena Ostas deposited Keats’s Voice in the group Group logo of LLC English RomanticLLC English Romantic on MLA Commons 1 year, 8 months ago

    Keats’s poetic thoughts on the topic of human identity remain some of Romanticism’s most incisive reflections on the constitution of selfhood. This essay is about the ways Keats’s verse thinks through questions about human subjectivity and its horizons with an imaginative range. Keats famously asserts that the poetical character has “no i…[Read more]

    James Mulholland deposited The Past and Future of Historical Poetics: Poetry and Empire in the group Group logo of LLC English RomanticLLC English Romantic on MLA Commons 1 year, 9 months ago

    This essay suggests that with the increasing prominence of “historical poetics” as a set of social collectives, methodologies, and debates (especially about literary analysis), now seems to be an ideal time to assess its history and consider its future. The first part of the essay offers a genealogy of historical poetics, accounting for some of…[Read more]

    Samuel Baker deposited Scott’s Stoic Characters: Ethics, Sentiment, and Irony in The Antiquary, Guy Mannering, and “the Author of Waverley” in the group Group logo of LLC English RomanticLLC English Romantic on MLA Commons 1 year, 11 months ago

    It is well known that Walter Scott adapted the forms of sentimental fiction for his initial trilogy of novels on Scottish manners and that he drew on philosophical theories of sympathy when conceiving of his characters and placing them in historical relation to one another and to his readership. Scott’s adaptations of sentimentalism and of…[Read more]

    This article proposes a new literary history of British Asia that examines its earliest communities and cultural institutions in translocal and regional registers.

    John Savarese deposited Psyche’s “Whisp’ring Fan” and Keats’s Genealogy of the Secular in the group Group logo of LLC English RomanticLLC English Romantic on MLA Commons 2 years, 8 months ago

    While scholars have long considered John Keats’s Ode to Psyche a document of secularization, the poem’s precise relationship to the secular needs further attention. This essay engages with recent critiques of secularism, by Gil Anidjar and others, which challenge readings of Keats that make secularism or “toleration” a hallmark of his radical…[Read more]

    Darko Suvin claims that science fiction is fundamentally concerned with “cognitive estrangement,” or the presence of some element in the story that transforms how its readers understand their world.

    If Jane Austen had wanted to write about zombies, what might she have known about the walking dead in the early nineteenth century? In this 2010 presidential address for EC/ASECS, subsequently published in the society’s newsletter, I examine this question and take a look at Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
