Words Made Flesh by Sean Dempsey
Demonstrates how the Romantic poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley and the novelist Jane Austen affect, mediate, and ultimately alter our very sense of embodiment in ways that have lasting effects on readers affective, political, and spiritual lives.
“Words Made Flesh is an utterly original study of the ‘sensible’ parameters of Romantic literatureDempsey draws on an impressive range of historical, cultural, literary, critical, philosophical, and theoretical sources, between which he moves deftly and effortlessly. Potent, incisive, and at times quite moving, Dempsey’s book is at the vanguard of a critical renaissance in Romantic studies, and it reminds us that we are still only beginning to understand the Romantic ‘revolution’ in writing, thought, and especially embodied experience.” —Joel Faflak, Western University, author of Romantic Psychoanalysis: The Burden of the Mystery
“Arich and astute book that represents a major contribution to the field. There is much to admire in Words Made Flesh.

His understanding of the material is outstanding, and his ability to explore subtle connections between different theoretical approaches is impressive.” —Mark Knight, Lancaster University, author of Good Words: Evangelicalism and the Victorian Novel
