Reviews
This exemplary book may prove one of the most influential books on Romantic literature for decades to come... Essential. Choice 2011 A work of considerable variety and ambition, engagingly written, refreshingly undogmatic in its methods and generous in acknowledging related work in the field, The Neural Sublime will be essential reading for those interested in romanticism's relationship with the human sciences; it is also highly recommended for anyone in the field of romantic studies partial to interdisciplinary conversations. -- Tim Milnes Review of English Studies 2011
