Summary:

With explosive interest in Romantic science and theories of mind and a renewed sense of the period's porousness to the world, along with new developments in cognitive theory and research, Romantic studies scholars have been called to revisit and re-map the terrain laid out in the highly influential 1970 volume 'Romanticism and Consciousness'. 'Romanticism and Consciousness, Revisited' brings this shift in approach to Romantic 'consciousness'- no longer the possession of a sole self but transactional, social, and entangled with the outside world - up to date.
