Romanticism, Literature and Philosophy by Simon Swift
A monograph covering Romanticism and philosophy, focusing on aesthetics and reason. It proposes a radical revisioning of Romantic literature by developing a fresh insight into its philosophical importance. It challenges a number of attacks on philosophical reason, and historicist readings of Romanticism.
'Swift has clearly learned a good deal from recent developments in literary theory but deploys them with a keen philosophical intelligence and a well-developed sense of their various shortcomings when applied without sufficiently detailed analysis of the concepts and categories involved.. Altogether this book carves out a distinctive and important place in the border-zone between philosophy, literary theory, and cultural history.' Professor Christopher Norris, Cardiff University Swift's study is a major intervention in what might be described either as post-deconstructive philosophical criticism or theoretically advanced intellectual history.
