Summary:

In this provocative and original study, Alan Richardson examines an
entire range of intellectual, cultural, and ideological points of
contact between British Romantic literary writing and the pioneering
brain science of the time. Poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, and
Keats, and novelists such as Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, are shown
to have shared a surprising extent of common ground with pioneering
brain scientists including Erasmus Darwin and F. J. Gall. It
demonstrates the value for literary and cultural history of learning
from recent work in neuroscience and cognitive science.
