With explosive interest in Romantic science and theories of mind and a renewed sense of the period's porousness to the world, along with new developments in cognitive theory and research, Romantic studies scholars have been called to revisit and re-map the terrain laid out in the highly influential 1970 volume Romanticism and Consciousness. Romanticism and Consciousness, Revisited brings this shift in approach to Romantic ""consciousness""-no longer the possession of a sole self but transactional, social, and entangled with the outside world-up to date.

Reviews for Romanticism and Consciousness, Revisited

"Romanticism and Consciousness, Revisited contains fascinating, readable essays that display the best of cognitive approaches in literary studies. It is suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in Romanticism courses. While many scholars will want to own their own copy, it definitely belongs in every university library.--Lisa Ann Robertson, University of South Dakota ""Wordsworth Circle"" This splendid collection returns to Harold Bloom's Romanticism and Consciousness and revisits that 1970 collection's field-defining questions about subjectivity and the modern self. Engaging scholarship on neuroscience, cognitive theory and philosophy of mind, Faflak, Sha, and their eminent contributors renew the concept of Romantic consciousness for the twenty-first century. --Deidre Lynch, Harvard University"
