Romantic lives of the mind
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Romantic Lives of the Mind examines the emergence of a new form of intellectual life in the Romantic period. I argue that literary activity became indispensable to thinking about being a person. Writers such as Coleridge, Keats, Hazlitt and De Quincey sought not only to find new ways to talk about the experience of living, but to test those ideas out in their own lives. In looking to justify a life devoted to thought, they had to rewrite the terms of life itself -- to make literary activity not only a vital component of any program in life, but the hermeneutic model best suited to interpreting it. In readings which render both the conceptual intensity and the texture of such lives, I show how the concept of "literature, " as we understand it today, emerges out of these activities.
