Reviews
'... exciting work ...' Journal of Consciousness Studies
'In his extensively researched book, Alan Richardson presents the reader with a new approach to reading British Romantic literature ... offers an illuminating approach to scholarship and also to some literary texts in British Romanticism while at the same time contributing to the developing field of cognitive historicism.' Poetics Today
'British Romanticism and the Science of the Mind will shape future studies of the cultural impact of medicine on nineteenth-century literature. The Romantic discovery of the 'brain' is a remarkable story, richly recounted in this study, one to which we will be frequently returning in the future.' Romanticism
