{"product_id":"9781139862424","title":"Romanticism and the Emotions","description":"There has recently been a resurgence of interest in the importance of the emotions in Romantic literature and thought. This collection, the first to stress the centrality of the emotions to Romanticism, addresses a complex range of issues including the relation of affect to figuration and knowing, emotions and the discipline of knowledge, the motivational powers of emotion, and emotions as a shared ground of meaning. Contributors offer significant new insights on the ways in which a wide range of Romantic writers, including Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Immanuel Kant, Lord Byron, Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas De Quincey and Adam Smith, worried about the emotions as a register of human experience. Though varied in scope, the essays are united by the argument that the current affective and emotional turn in the humanities benefits from a Romantic scepticism about the relations between language, emotion and agency.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107914793200,"sku":"9781139862424","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139862424_p0.jpg?v=1763700086","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139862424","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
