Beschreibung:
This fascinating interdisciplinary study examines the relationship between literary interest in visionary kinds of experience and medical ideas about hallucination and the nerves in the first half of the nineteenth century, focusing on canonical Romantic authors, the work of women writers influenced by Romanticism, and visual culture.
This fascinating interdisciplinary study explores the influence of medical thought across a range of Romantic authors and genres, and links it to the Romantic preoccupation with visionary experiences
