Hardback. Series: Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine. Num Pages: 326 pages, 19 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: 2AB; DSBH; DSC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 210 x 148. .
This book argues for the importance of disability to authors of the Wordsworth-Coleridge circle. By examining texts in a variety of genres - ranging from self-experimental medical texts to lyric poetry to metaphysical essays - Stanback demonstrates the extent to which non-normative embodiment was central to Romantic-era thought and Romantic-era aesthetics. The book reassesses well-known literary and medical works by such authors as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Humphry Davy, argues for the importance of lesser-studied work by authors including Charles Lamb and Thomas Beddoes, and introduces significant unpublished work by Tom Wedgwood.
