| Outline of Research at the Start |
The project will seek to distinguish between historicist criticism which primarily expresses a dogmatic ideological position, and historicist studies which elucidate both Romanticism itself and its historical contexts.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My research has analyzed the ways in which historicist criticism misrepresents Romantic idealism, firstly in Peter Otto’s interpretation of Wordsworth’s idea of imagination as implying that the mind is a ‘machine’ with the potential to transform society - a view which aligns Romantic ideas of imagination with concepts of ‘virtual reality’, secondly in Nicholas Roe’s argument that Wordsworth’s description of the effects of Tintern Abbey is echoed in Keats’s description of the path taken by a bullet through the body of a patient he was treating, and thirdly, in Andrea Henderson’s interpretation of poststructuralist anti-essentialism as implying that consciousness is an effect of one’s environment - a view which fails to recognize the affinities between Romanticism and poststructuralism.
